Transactional Analysis (TA)

Transactional Analysis (TA)

Have you ever noticed how part of you feels calm and capable one moment, and another part feels small, anxious, or reactive the next?

Transactional Analysis (TA) helps you make sense of those inner shifts and the patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others.

TA is a psychological approach that explores how our past experiences influence our present communication, emotions, and behaviour.

It offers practical tools to understand why we respond the way we do, and how to change those patterns so relationships (including the one with yourself) can feel more connected, respectful, and real.

How Transactional Analysis Works

TA describes three main parts of the personality, the Parent, Adult, and Child states.
We all move between these states in daily life:

  • The Parent holds the voices, rules, and expectations we’ve absorbed from others.

  • The Adult helps us respond to the here and now with logic and calm awareness.

  • The Child carries our creativity, playfulness, and emotional memories — including those shaped by early experiences.

By becoming aware of which “state” we’re operating from, we can understand our emotional reactions, communicate more clearly, and build healthier relationships.

Transactional Analysis at The Stepz Group is centred on relationship building between the therapist and the client.

How TA Can Help You

Transactional Analysis can support you to:

  • Understand your emotional triggers and communication patterns

  • Heal from past experiences that still affect your present

  • Build stronger, more equal relationships

  • Set boundaries and express needs more confidently

  • Nurture self-compassion and emotional awareness

It’s especially powerful for adults who want to make sense of repeating patterns in relationships, reduce conflict or guilt, or find more balance between caring for others and themselves.
