What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
It is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that helps you to manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.
It will help you to understand the interaction between your thinking, feelings, and behaviours. You will identify and challenge any negative thinking patterns and behaviour which may be causing you difficulties. In turn, this can change the way you feel about situations and enable you to change your behaviour in future, improve your mood and functioning.
What is Schema Therapy?
In schema therapy, you will work to uncover and understand your schemas, sometimes called as life traps which are unhelpful patterns that we might all develop if our emotional needs are not met as a child.
These schemas can affect you throughout life and contribute to problematic coping methods and behaviours if they are not addressed. Schema therapy aims to teach you how to ensure your emotional needs are met in a healthy way that does not cause distress. It is especially helpful with long-term and entrenched issues.
