Our Mission Statement

Connexus Institute trains psychotherapists and counsellors in Transactional Analysis. We hold high academic and professional standards, in a community where people learn together, challenge each other and look after one another. Our aim is practitioners who are skilled, ethical and confident in their work.

Our values

Seven values guide how we teach, how we assess and how we run the Institute. Four of them come straight from Transactional Analysis.

Excellence

We hold our training to high standards, from your first TA 101 to the CTA examination, and we help you reach them.

Respect

TA starts from the position “I’m OK, You’re OK”. Everyone who joins us brings experience that matters.

Autonomy

Autonomy is the aim of TA itself: awareness, spontaneity and the capacity for intimacy. We encourage you to think for yourself and shape your own learning.

Integrity

We are honest and accountable in how we teach, how we assess and how we run the Institute.

Relationship

TA is a theory of relationships, and so is our training. Learning happens between people: in groups, in supervision and over a cup of tea.

Inclusivity

We welcome people from every background and value the different perspectives they bring into the room.

Responsibility

TA work rests on clear contracts. We are clear about what we offer and what we ask of you, and we keep the wellbeing of clients and communities in view.

In our students’ words

This sort of training requires the right people. Connexus has the right people.
