About us
Our Philosophy and Strategy for Training
The structure of the training programme at The Berne Institute is distinctly different from that at the typical university or college, and different also from the training structures of most other psychotherapy training institutes.
Our Rationale
We value the uniqueness and autonomy of each individual and make a safe and welcoming learning environment where each person and their contribution to learning is honoured and respected. We embrace the concept of homonomy that promotes the interconnectedness of others, our environment and our planet.
Educational philosophy
The aim of The Berne Institute is to promote excellence in the fields of psychotherapy, counselling, training, supervision, and related research. Our core model is Transactional Analysis (TA) and we integrate other humanistic approaches.
Strategy for Teaching and Learning
In the service of this educational philosophy, we have developed a strategy for teaching and learning that is founded on three distinctive and interlinked principles. They are:
- Use of an organic model of personal learning
- Multi-level structure of training groups
- Four-year topic rotation.
"Unlock your potential"
The Berne Institute offer a full range of TA courses, in person at Berne House and live online, to suit a wide range of applications.
