Training Breakdown

Schema Therapy, developed by Dr. Jeffrey Young, is an innovative and integrative therapeutic approach that extends traditional cognitive-behavioral therapies. It focuses on identifying and changing deeply rooted patterns or themes (schemas) that develop during childhood and are elaborated throughout one’s lifetime, causing pervasive negative patterns in thinking, feeling, and behavior. These schemas are often responsible for chronic emotional difficulties and relationship problems.

Why Get Trained in Schema Therapy?

Effectiveness: Schema Therapy has been empirically validated and is highly effective in treating a range of psychological disorders, including personality disorders, chronic depression, and complex trauma.
Comprehensive Approach: It integrates cognitive-behavioural, attachment, psychodynamic, and emotion-focused techniques, providing a holistic approach to therapy.
Enhanced Therapeutic Skills: Schema Therapy training equips therapists with advanced skills to identify and modify deep-seated schemas, leading to more profound and lasting change in clients.
Professional Growth: Becoming a certified Schema Therapist through the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST) enhances your professional credibility and opens up new career opportunities.
Client Demand: As awareness of Schema Therapy grows, more clients seek therapists trained in this approach, making it a valuable asset for your practice.

Who would benefit from this Training?

To progress to certification in Schema Therapy, you must meet the two eligibility criteria:
1.    Hold at least a Masters degree in psychology, clinical social work, psychiatric nursing or a counseling area that leads to licensing; or a medical degree with psychiatric residency (or residency equivalent if it is defined differently in that country).
2.    Hold a license or certification for the independent practice of psychotherapy (independent psychotherapy practice): In countries that certify or license the above professions, a person must be certified or licensed by either the government body or professional organization which grants this. If no such control exists in a country, the standard of one of the national or international professional psychotherapy organizations must be met to fulfill this requirement. In a regulatory body where both registered membership and accredited membership exists, accredited membership is mandatory.
a.    If you belong to another group that is licensed or certified to practice psychotherapy in your country, please include this information along with your academic qualifications to be considered for certification training when you submit your application. Some countries have described in detail how the ISST qualifications need to be applied for their country. The UK is one example of this and for exception requests these standards are used.

You can still attend the workshop if you do not meet the criteria above, however you cannot use the training to progress towards certification as a schema therapist. To progress to certification, you must meet the two above requirements. You can read more clicking here.
