YTC is a small, friendly psychotherapy and training centre run by experienced and ethical professionals; we aim to promote health and autonomy. Training is all about how you use TA concepts in your professional life therefore expect to learn not only the theory, but also how to apply the theory, professionally and personally!
All the training courses are designed to be enjoyable and creative. We use a unique group format meeting every other month on the first Friday - Sunday, with long days. This format makes best use of the time spent learning in the training group. The group also includes trainees at each stage of their training. During each module there will be time when the group separates for training and for exam supervision and preparation. Intermediates are likely to spend a greater amount of their time on theory, the advanced group on supervision and the application of advanced theory. The training is contractual and flexible and is aimed at providing comprehensive psychotherapy training in four years. Dave and Uta are both very experienced TA Trainers see our web site for further details and CV's
