The new TA Deep Dive seminar series offers space to slow down and think more deeply about clinical work.
Through focused exploration of ten Transactional Analysis concepts, these seminars support practitioners to develop greater insight into complex therapeutic processes — and to stay connected to the meaning and depth of the work they do. Facilitated by Ben Groves PTSTA(P), each seminar stands alone, while also forming part of a coherent series. Practitioners are welcome to attend as many seminars as they choose. TA Deep Dive seminars take place online on Thursday evenings 6 - 8pm January to March 2026. Tickets for each cost £25. Click on the links or image for each workshop for more details.
