My Schema Therapy Approach
Schema Therapy is at the heart of my approach. It is a deep, integrative, evidence-supported model for understanding the longstanding patterns, schemas and coping modes that can develop from unmet emotional needs and trauma, and which can continue to shape how we think, feel and relate to ourselves and others. Rather than simply focusing on symptoms, Schema Therapy works at the deeper roots of these patterns, helping you understand where they came from and develop healthier, more flexible ways of responding.
My approach goes deeper than just talking. I use experiential techniques like imagery and chair work to create profound emotional shifts, leading to meaningful transformation. Unlike symptom-focused models, Schema Therapy embraces the whole person, ensuring a deeply personalised path to healing.
Alongside Schema Therapy, I draw on approaches such as person-centred therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing and mindfulness, using these modalities to enrich and support my Schema Therapy work and tailor therapy to your individual needs.
