Who are we?

We understand the power of the human spirit.

In every one of us lies an innate force to evolve for the better.

When it's this that drives our decisions, we live, love and work better.

Mindset matters

This is why The Circle Line team came together.

In founder Pip's words...

"Our psychology is always at play, so understanding ourselves holds enormous potential. As a psychotherapist, when I now reflect on my life so far, in work and in love, I can finally see how it was me - my mindset, my learnt patterns - that dictated my experience, my successes and my failures.

It took me a long time to realise the power of my "Script" - the story we all tell ourselves that unconsciously impacts us, our behaviour and our relationships. My path went via an original degree in psychology, two decades in law, business and marketing, hitting my own rock bottom and finally completing a very hard 4 years of training to qualify as a psychotherapist. With the help of too many tutors, research doctors, fellow therapists and fellow humans to mention, I distilled that learning into The Circle Line - to help us all live, love and work well together."

We walk the talk

We run The Circle Line the way we see achieves the best results — with trust, autonomy, shared purpose and the understanding that our team are whole and multi-faceted people. Because you can't help others thrive if your own house isn't in order.

Expertise is king.

To really help people grow we must really understand them.

We are a collective of highly qualified psychotherapists with years of training and experience. Our expertise in Transactional Analysis is at our core.

"Properly trained transactional analysts have access to the highest level of information and expertise available today." — Claude Steiner, PhD

Research backs this up. In two independent studies using Consumer Reports' methodology, psychotherapist Ted Novey found that users of transactional analysis reported significantly higher satisfaction than users of psychotherapy from psychiatrists, psychologists, marriage counsellors and psychoanalysts — a finding TA pioneer Claude Steiner attributed to the rigour of TA's training and supervision methods.

We are for-profit

We aim to make a profit in order to be self-sufficient, to reinvest in our purpose, and to enable external investment if we need it. We invest 5% of our profit into our Full Circle Fund for psychological support for those who need it but can't afford it.

It's a win-win.

Investing in yourself or your employees reaps rewards and creates a ripple effect.

Whether you're a business leader wanting to change the world or an individual wanting more from life, personal development is a win-win investment - good for you, your relationships and your culture.
