Schema
Therapy

Schema Therapy is an integrative psychotherapy developed, combining elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic concepts, and emotion-focused techniques. It focuses on identifying and changing deeply rooted patterns or "schemas"—enduring negative beliefs and behaviours formed in childhood that affect how people see themselves and others. The therapy helps individuals recognise maladaptive schemas, understand how they developed, and adopt healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving through techniques like imagery rescripting, limited reparenting, and cognitive restructuring.
