(Brand New Course!) May 6th (2026) Start - Schema Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults

This training focuses on the use of Schema Therapy with adolescents and young people. The course explores how early maladaptive schemas and coping modes shape identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing during the critical developmental stage of adolescence. Participants will learn practical strategies for working with common presentations in youth—such as social withdrawal, perfectionism, emotional dysregulation, and oppositional behaviours—using the schema mode model. The program highlights creative and experiential methods (imagery, role play, and mode dialogues) adapted for young clients, alongside empathic confrontation, limit-setting, and family involvement when appropriate. Emphasis is placed on strengthening resilience, empowering the Healthy Adult mode, and supporting young people to build healthier self-concepts and relationships.
