Psychotherapy Institute

📚 Dr Emma Haynes has received ethical approval for a research project exploring the use of psychotherapy for perinatal mental illness, expanding on her doctoral research in this field.
The project aims to address an important gap in Transactional Analysis (TA) research regarding the acceptability and efficacy of this type of psychotherapy.

Dr Haynes is inviting psychotherapists from across Europe — and, where possible, internationally — who work with clients experiencing fertility difficulties, assisted conception, pregnancy, birth, and pre or post-birth mental health conditions to take part in the research.

The research will use routine clinical outcome measures alongside qualitative interviews, and includes individual, couples, group and family psychotherapy delivered both online and in person.

If you are a TA psychotherapist working in this area — even occasionally — Dr Haynes would love to hear from you.

📩 For research enquiries, practitioners can contact Dr Emma Haynes via her public ITAA profile or directly by email at [email protected]

🎓Dr Haynes also leads our 5 Day Certificate in Perinatal Psychotherapy beginning April 2027.

As AI continues to evolve, conversations about its role in psychotherapy are becoming increasingly important.

Rather than asking whether AI will replace therapists, a new framework encourages us to ask:
What are we automating, and how much?

The future may not be about replacement—but about thoughtful collaboration between technology and human expertise.
Where would you draw the line?

Have you ever wondered why you react before you've had time to think?

Many of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are shaped by patterns that operate outside conscious awareness. When we begin to understand these patterns, we create greater awareness, flexibility, and choice.

If you're curious about understanding yourself, your relationships, and the psychology behind human behaviour, our TA101 – Understanding Myself & Others course offers an accessible introduction to Transactional Analysis.
