Alison Ayres

CTA, TSTA, UKCP Reg Psychotherapist, and COSCA Accredited Trainer

I have been involved with TA for more than 25 years, after a career as a music teacher in both the primary and secondary sectors. I recently stepped back from my role as a trainer with Physics Training in Edinburgh, but I continue to run a small clinical practice and on-going supervision groups, in addition to a PTSTA development group, a TEW preparation group, and clinical Seminars.

For several years, I have been exploring and developing my interest in shame and affect theory, and more recently, thinking about pride, resilience, and courage – how we can develop our own capacity to be fully present and active in living our lives in the best way we can.
