You're fine
Life's just busy.
Stressful sometimes.
There’s another leak in the bathroom, or your year’s profit was distinctly average, or you’ve had a bust up with your son, or partner, or your mum’s had another fall, or you’re just feeling stressed for no apparent reason all the damn time.
How are you doing really?
Whether for home or work, join us to...
Stimulation is one thing; stress is another. Stress takes its toll on your work, your body and your relationships. It’s crucial to learn to spot your signs, know your limits and be able to regulate yourself.
Relationships aren’t so mysterious - when you understand them. Use our sessions and insights to develop your ability to connect.
Tension is sometimes unavoidable - it follows a path. We help you learn your patterns, spot your triggers and regulate your emotions to deal with disagreements like an adult.
Knowing how you tick means you can play to your strengths. Whether high performance means relating better with clients or getting your head down to focus, we can help you improve.
“When the best leader’s work is done, the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!”

Our Expertise
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.
There 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.
Research shows TA works (see here).
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."
"A CEO in a healthy mental state isn't just better personally. They're better for the organization and their surrounding network. People respond more favorably to leaders when they show compassion" - Forbes.
And yet...
"Over 80% of business leaders show fatigue, low motivation, mood swings, and sleep difficulties" - BUPA
How it works...
We've carefully crafted a unique process, creating your own personal 360 review.
Learn the secrets
Transactions dictate the course of our life. Everything we say and do after “Hello” is a transaction, whether your next line is “Not bad thanks, you?” or a quiet sigh. We constantly transact with others and with our self in our head - our success depends on how we do it.
We show you the hidden principles of how humans work - distilled into 12 illuminating tools, our “12 Tools for Life”.
Apply to you

Here you start spotting the unhelpful patterns at play in your own life.
