Julie is now working with others in the team to provide the same sequencing of qualifications for TA psychotherapy as she has developed over the years for the developmental and coaching applications of TA. These provide opportunities for students to gain certification is at various stages during their training, rather than the international process which sees an attendance certificate for a TA introductory course followed several years later by accreditation as a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) – which leads to a high dropout rate by students who then have no reward for the years of study that they have completed. As a guide, those who complete a year of advanced TA training (usually about 9 or 10 attendances at 2 x 6 hour workshops or the equivalent in 4 x 3-hour webinars monthly) and apply the TA as professionals to help others, can obtain a competence-based Certificate. Another year of attendance can lead to a Diploma, with a further year or two for the Advanced Diploma. At this point candidates can also apply if they wish for the optional ITAA/EATA international certification and/or an optional Master’s degree.

This practical experience combines with a less common theoretical one: Doctor’s degree in sciences of education, Master’s degree in conflict mediation, TA and NLP Practitioner, postgraduate qualifications from UNESCO Paris in educational management.

He specializes in people’s skills trainings that fit best his developmental approach to organizations.
Approaching organizations from a Developmental TA point of view, he thinks that organizations and institutions horizontally differ less by what they offer but more in the way they offer what they have to offer. He is convinced that efficient and effective operation of any organization is a function of individual development growth and transformation, of the way employees relate – both horizontally and vertically – between them and with the clients.
