Course Overview:
This 6-week/module interactive online course introduces therapists to the Schema Mode Model, and 'Mode' interventions (the model typically used for complex presentations). The training is skills-based, with multiple opportunities to learn techniques for working with difficult-to-treat clinical presentations (particularity Borderline Personality Disorder, Cluster-C Personality Disorders, Complex Trauma, & Chronic Depression).

Chris & Rob make use of a mix of professionally recorded webinar-style presentations, skills demonstrations, and thought-provoking reflection tasks designed to increase your knowledge and application of the schema mode model to complex cases. You will get the chance to further your schema therapy practice; learning how to work 'experientially' (e.g. using chair dialogues and Imagery Rescripting) with challenging/ treatment resistant 'parts' or 'modes'.

Interaction: There are also x 1 live Zoom Q&A Café consultation meeting scheduled during the 6-week program (Taped and streamed later for those that can't make it live). See below Course Curriculum for dates of these Live Café Q&As

Co-Director of Schema Therapy Training Online; co-author of "Contextual Schema Therapy" (Roediger, Stevens, & Brockman 2020), and "The Cambridge Guide to Schema Therapy (2023)".

I am an active researcher and clinician. Since 2014, I have had the pleasure of sharing this model with my colleagues through face-to-face workshops and supervision. However, I understand that attending a live workshop may not always be practical or accessible so I have teamed up with Chris Hayes to design a comprehensive online schema therapy course.
