About TA Student

This site contains resources primarily aimed at Transactional Analysis trainees. I am myself in Advanced Training and wanted to bring together all the online resources that exist to support my own learning.

I also publish the The Psychotherapy Daily which brings together significant developments in psychotherapy published on Twitter in the past day.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, strokes or requests, please email me at:rob@vantol.co.uk or tweet to @talkingtherapy

To defy the costs of producing this site, I am referrer for Amazon.co.uk, how give me a small percentage from their profits for each book you buy - it does not in any way affect the price you pay for the books.
