Dave Spenceley TSTA, Uta Höhl TSTA and YTCi associates

TA training - TA supervision - TA exam preparation - TA psychotherapy - TA coaching

I qualified as a CTA in July 1990, and 35 years later still loving TA, theory, practice and being a member of the international TA community, in which I and my colleagues in YTCi are actively involved.

We work online and in person using TA in a relational process with the goal of personal and professional transformation. This approach is reflected in all our work, and the articles I have written: articles .

TA training can lead to a professional qualification as a Certified Transaction Analyst. (CTA). A professional qulaification recognised around the world. Following the covid pandemic, which forced us online, we have been impressed by the effectiveness of online training, supervision, coaching and psychotherapy, opening the possiblity for us to work with people who cannot attend in-person sessions with us. Therefore we continue to develop our work online as well as in-person.

We hope to hear from you, so please do contact us if you are interested in one of the groups or individual sessions or have questions about our work as Transactional Analysts.

TA coaching - is a systemic approach to professional and leadership development and conflict resolution based on the principles of Transactional Analysis.
