UKATA - UK Association for Transactional Analysis

18/08/2026

UKATA has been out and about! 👋

Over the past few months, our Managing Director, Kerryn Bell, has been visiting Registered Training Establishments and meeting more of the people who make up our TA community.

Recently, she’s visited the Connexus Institute and TA East, as well as attending the UKCP Conference and representing UKATA at a UKCP governance review meeting in London.

It’s been a useful opportunity to hear directly from people across the TA community and stay connected with what’s happening across training and practice.

There are more visits planned, so if you see Kerryn at your RTE or an upcoming event, do come and say hello!

Did you know UKATA is a patronage partner of the Transactional Analysis Podcast?

It’s a partnership we’re proud to be part of, and a useful resource for UKATA members looking to continue their learning and hear different perspectives on TA.

The podcast brings together practitioners from around the world to share their work, ideas and experiences, with episodes covering all fields of application and a range of TA schools, approaches and traditions.

Whether you’re training, practising, teaching or simply interested in developing your understanding of TA, there’s a growing library of conversations to explore.

Last week members of the Transactional Analysis community came together online to celebrate a very special milestone - the 50th anniversary of the European Association for Transactional Analysis (EATA). 🎉

It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on five decades of learning, collaboration, and the continued growth of Transactional Analysis across Europe, while recognising the many people who have contributed to EATA's journey over the years.

Thank you to EATA for bringing the community together to mark this occasion, and to everyone who joined the celebrations.

If you couldn't make it to the event, you can watch the recording via the link below.

Here's to the next 50 years!

On 15 July, our TA community came together online to celebrate EATA...
