About Transactional Analysis
Transactional Analysis is a social psychology applied in four fields of practice- Psychotherapy, Counselling, Organisational and Educational.
Transactional Analysis offers concepts and tools to recognise the stories we tell ourselves about ourself, others and the world that either enable or disable our capcity to have a healthy relationship with ourselves, others, the world and meet our potential in whatever we choose to do with our lives.
Sometimes the stories we have been telling ourselves no longer support effective problem solving or healthy relating to self, others and the world. We may need support from an expert practitioner to unlearn old patterns of being, doing, becoming and belonging to learn new patterns supporting our flurishing, enable us to get along well with others in the context of our own life, communites and the wider world.

About Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is the art and science of how we occupy our time, the spaces and communities we spend our time in and how these can help or hinder our wellbeing.
Occupational Therapists harness the power of our everyday occupations- that's the things we do to occupy our time- as therapeutic interventions or outcomes with individuals, groups or communities to support health and wellbeing.
Occupational Therapists work with people across the life span, they work holistically with the person to learn or relearn ways of engaging in their roles, habits, routines and occupations that are necessary or meaningful for them to do.
Reasons people may find themselves working with an Occupational Therapist could be illness or injury, environmental disruptions or socioeconomic factors impacting their capacity to make occupational choices which support wellbeing.
To practice in the UK, Occupational Therapists must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council HCPC
The professional body for Occupational Therapy in the UK is the Royal College of Occupational Therapy.
About Lisa Paul
I have been an Occupational Therapist for over 20 years working across health and social care and private practice within the UK. I have previously held Lecturing positions in Occupational Therapy at a number of universities in the UK. I discovered Transactional Analysis when I was exploring options to enhance my clinical and managerial skills to hold space for others when they are experiencing significant life transitions impacting their sense of self.
My qualifications and registrations include:
HCPC registered Occupational Therapist and a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapy, previously a member of the Scottish Regional Committee of RCOT.
PTSTA-E (Provisional Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst in Education filed) with an MSc in Transactional Analysis. Previous Chair of the Scottish Transactional Analysis Assocition and current board member. Member of EATA and IATA.
Certified Sparketype Advisor- a powerful tool and process to support identifying the work be that paid or not that sparks you most.
You can find out more about my 20 year career as an Occupational Therapist and 8+ year career as a Senior Lecturer on my LinkedIn profile.
I am most definitely an eternal student and an artist at heart. I love spending hours with my nose in a book or discussing the meaning of life with others. I balance my need for contact with my communities and the external world by recharging my batteries through painting and pottery.
Something I am deeply passionate about is enabling the health and wellbeing of other practitioners in my two fields of practice: Health & Care and Education. These areas of work attract people wanting to make a difference to the lives of others whilst challenging their own capacity to stay well and happy.
This passion and my eternal student nature lead me to learn more about psychology, counselling and even Reiki. Ultimately finding that Transactional Analysis complemented and enhanced my Occupational Therapy skills to enable others to find their path and feel at home in their own shoes.
