Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.

I have been offering Transactional Analysis (TA) to people for more than 40 years as an educator, psychotherapist, trainer of psychotherapists, facilitator and coach. I have remained impressed with TA’s power and efficacy in helping people transform their lives and the world around them. The theory and tools which it offers are radical in their capacity to stimulate and support deep change – the kind that leads to transformation.

I work both in Cape Town, where I live, and internationally. In this increasingly connected world I find that many people seek the therapist or supervisor of their choice regardless of national boundaries, and I enjoy doing psychotherapy or supervision on Zoom with people from many different countries. So it doesn’t matter where you live, I can work with you as long as you have internet access. In addition to TA I have a deep interest in Jungian psychology, Sandplay, Constellation work, Spiral Dynamics and Logosynthesis. These approaches inform and enrich my work.

My commitment in my work is to walk with people along their journey of transformation so that they may become their fullest selves and actively engage in creating the kind of society that will truly nourish and support life in all its forms. To this end I work in an integrative way, using both TA and other modalities and with full attention to body, mind and spirit.

What is TA?

TA is a psychological theory of human development, personality and communication. Originated by Eric Berne MD in the 1950s, it was subsequently developed by others and is still alive and evolving. Eric Berne, seeking a more effective way to treat his patients, combined the best of psychoanalytic ideas with ideas from behaviourism, humanistic psychology and the brain research of the time. His theory integrates these various approaches in a simple, elegant body of knowledge that is easy to understand and yet very profound. He believed passionately that everyone is “OK” – valuable and able to think, solve problems and understand their own lives. He saw the goal of psychotherapy as liberating people from limiting “scripts” and offering a route to spontaneity, awareness and intimacy.

Today many people talk about the “inner child” yet not many of them know that it was Eric Berne and TA that put this Child part of ourselves so effectively in the limelight. The TA theory of ego states not only talks about the inner Child, but also the Parent and the Adult. Most people can relate to this immediately, recognising from their own experience the inner dialogue between these different parts of themselves and how the use them to communicate with others.
