Philippa Richardson

Founder & Transactional Analyst Psychotherapist

“I think there comes a time in most of our lives where we need something more; support, a change, some answers. Whether you're here for help in your personal life or with managing clients, delegating or leading, the quality of your interactions will influence the quality of your life. Master the art of the transaction and the world is your oyster. ”

Transactional Analysis ("TA") is psychology's best kept secret. I discovered it when I was a head of marketing and, as an analytical ex-lawyer, it immediately appealed. What I discovered changed my life.

Our 12 Tools for Life

  • TA is your own personal 360 review. It gives you a framework of tools, or models, to understand and improve your relationships and internal processes, revealing the patterns that limit you.

  • It's one of the cornerstones of modern psychology. Empirically-developed over 70 years, becoming internationally recognised.

  • here are only 900 Transactional Analysts in the UK (the TA qualification takes 3-5 years).

  • The Circle Line has the only digital TA platform in the world, where I’ve distilled the canon of decades of work into 12 Tools.

Will Daniel-Braham

Leadership Coach & Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist

"I have over 25 years of experience delivering training and developing leaders and CEO's from start-ups to large organisations. I’ve worked in the private, public and voluntary sectors with leaders from HSBC, Ernst & Young, Stella McCartney, Morgan Stanley to UNICEF and the Fire Brigade.

I also featured as a coach in Channel 4 documentary, 'Ballet Changed my Life' supporting the development of a group of marginalised young people to perform Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet, alongside Birmingham Royal Ballet.

I'm a go-getter, love technology and have been instrumental in the development of small start ups and larger SME’s through coaching, training and the development of staff, managers and leaders."

"It’s true that being a startup founder is incredibly stressful... The tumultuous experience of being an entrepreneur can lead to self-doubt, imposter syndrome, loneliness and good old-fashioned burnout." - Forbes.
