Next Steps in Your TA Development
A three-day, in person workshop with Patrick Brook TSTA, Rachel Cook TSTA and Keith Tudor TSTA
Join internationally respected Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analysts, Patrick Brook, Rachel Cook, and Keith Tudor for three days of focused preparation, practice, and professional development — wherever you are on your TA journey.
Whether you’re preparing for the CTA written or oral exams, the Training Endorsement Workshop (TEW), the TSTA exams, or working towards UKCP registration through an Advanced Diploma route (for example, the UKATA Case Study Pathway or Level 7 Diploma), this workshop offers tailored supervision, practical guidance, and a supportive space to refine your skills and deepen your confidence. The workshop is open to all fields of Transactional Analysis.
Transactional Analysis assessments and endorsements across all fields ask for more than technical competence. Examiners are interested in how you think as a transactional analyst; how you integrate theory and practice, reflect on your choices, and express your professional identity with clarity and authenticity. For many candidates, the challenge lies as much in articulating why they practise as it does in showing what they do.
Across the three days, you’ll take part in taught sessions, supervision, practice, discussion, and reflection designed to strengthen your confidence and preparedness. You’ll hone how you present your clinical or training work, develop your professional voice, and leave with a clearer sense of direction — whether that’s towards an upcoming assessment or in your ongoing professional development.
How the workshop works
A distinctive feature of this workshop is its collaborative, multi-level format. Participants work actively with one another as well as with the three TSTAs. You might act as a supervisee for someone practising supervision, contribute to a mock exam board, participate in teaching demonstrations, or offer peer feedback.
This co-creative structure ensures you get specific support for your individual learning goals while also gaining fresh insights from observing and engaging with others’ development. It’s a dynamic, immersive experience designed to reflect the collaborative spirit of Transactional Analysis itself.
What you can focus on
Working on or towards your CTA (written or oral)?
You could use this workshop to deepen your understanding of the CTA process and what examiners are looking for. It’s a chance to practise presenting recordings, articulate your clinical reasoning, and explore how TA theory informs your work. You might want to focus on strengthening your reflective capacity or rehearsing for oral and written elements in a supportive setting.
Preparing for the Training Endorsement Workshop (TEW)?
You might use this space to clarify your training philosophy, get a feel for the TEW structure, or practise key teaching and supervision skills. There’s room to refine your Training Proposal Outline, explore how ethics and identity shape your approach, and consider how educational and supervision theory supports your work.
Working towards or preparing for TSTA exams?
You could use the workshop to rehearse aspects of the board process — such as mock TOE, teaching and supervision boards, and learn further how to convey a mastery-level understanding of what it means to be a Transactional Analyst. The emphasis is on developing your confidence and personal authority as a senior practitioner, trainer, or supervisor.
Working towards UKCP registration through an Advanced Diploma route?
You might use the time to clarify the written and oral requirements of your assessment process, refine your case material, or practise presenting recordings. There’s also scope to explore how to integrate themes such as diversity, intersectionality, ecology, and social justice into your work, and to strengthen your professional identity as you prepare for registration.
What you will gain
This workshop offers a rare opportunity to work intensively with three internationally respected TSTAs who bring complementary perspectives, extensive examination experience, and critical thinking.
In a supportive and collegial atmosphere, you will:
- Strengthen your understanding of what examiners look for at your level.
- Gain practical experience presenting and discussing your work.
- Develop clarity in articulating your theoretical and ethical reasoning.
- Receive targeted feedback to identify and address any areas for development.
- Explore any personal blocks that might arise
- Leave with an action plan for your next steps and renewed confidence in your professional identity.
Beyond assessment readiness, you’ll take away a deeper sense of what it means to think, speak, and act as a transactional analyst — and connections with colleagues who will continue to support your growth long after the workshop.
