Types of TherapySchema Therapy

Find a Schema Therapist

Schema therapy was developed to treat long-standing, deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behaviour — often rooted in childhood experiences. It combines elements of CBT, attachment theory, and experiential techniques to help you understand and change the "schemas" (core beliefs) that drive recurring difficulties.

What Schema Therapy can help with

  • Personality difficulties
  • Chronic depression
  • Long-standing relationship patterns
  • Emotional avoidance
  • Self-sabotage
  • Trauma
  • Low self-worth

What to expect

Schema therapy is typically longer-term. Your therapist will help you identify your schemas and understand how they were formed, then use a combination of techniques — including imagery rescripting and chair work — to heal the emotional needs that underpin them.
