Accredited Schema Therapy Practitioner Training Level 1

Focus of the course: This introductory workshop will help attendees gain an understanding of the Schema Therapy model and provide an extensive platform for learning new skills and techniques used in Schema Therapy. The workshop will address both the schema and 'mode' models. The training is skills based, with multiple opportunities to learn complex techniques for working with difficult-to-treat clinical populations, with a particular focus on Borderline Personality Disorder and its treatment. It will provide you with a good platform for learning and practicing skills, as well as direct coaching of skills therapists often feel less confident in applying. This workshop presented by STTA is accredited by the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST) as a 3-day introductory workshop that can be used for the purpose of accreditation as a schema therapist.
