Course Outline
Schemas are negative beliefs we develop about ourselves when our emotional needs in childhood aren’t met. Once you see how these beliefs form, how they’re maintained, and how they can be changed, schema therapy becomes not only clearer but genuinely usable in clinical practice.
Led by Jessica O’Garr, Clinical Psychologist and founder of The Psych Collective, this one-day, face-to-face workshop helps you answer:
- What are maladaptive schemas, and how do they develop?
- What are the core emotional needs we’re all born with, and what happens when they go unmet?
- Why do maladaptive schemas persist into adulthood, and how are they maintained?
- How do you plan a treatment approach using a schema therapy framework?
- What are the actual techniques — cognitive, behavioural and experiential — you can use in sessions?
- How do adaptive schemas support positive change and build resilience?
- What therapeutic factors do you need to consider when applying this complex model?
Traditional CBT works great until it doesn’t. When clients have chronic difficulties like treatment-resistant depression, complex trauma, or personality disorders, schema therapy offers a deeper model that explains not just what is happening, but why. It gets to the root cause.
Schemas develop early, when emotional needs like attachment, autonomy, or play aren’t met. These unmet needs shape lifelong patterns in how clients think, feel, and behave. Schema Therapy doesn’t just teach people to challenge their thoughts; it helps them change deeply held beliefs that no longer serve them.Â

About Part 1 & 2 Workshops
Taught by Experienced Clinicians
At The Psych Collective, we’ve developed a full ecosystem to support clinicians:
- E-books, therapy cards, client worksheets, and structured modules that walk you through each phase of schema work.
- Coverage of the 20 maladaptive schemas based on the latest version of the YSQ-R (Yalcin et al., 2022).
- Treatment pathways from assessment through schema change.
- Incorporation of adaptive schemas (Louis et al., 2018) with strength-based interventions to promote resilience.
- Real-world strategies for dealing with therapeutic pitfalls and complex cases.
This workshop is all about making schema therapy feel accessible — providing you with scripts, demos, and tools you can use right away.
Schema Therapy isn’t something you can learn passively. That’s why this training is done face-to-face — so you can see the techniques in action. You’ll get to:
- Watch live demonstrations
- Ask questions as you go
- Practice in a supportive environment
From imagery rescripting to emotional bridge techniques, we walk you through how actually to do it, not just what the theory says
