breaking the cycle.
While standard counselling helps you understand your past, deep-rooted cycles like self-sabotage and people pleasing require an emotional shift. We use Schema Therapy techniques to help you feel differently, not just think differently.
recognising your modes.
We all have different sides that drive our behaviour. Sometimes you're the "Healthy Adult," calm and capable. Other times, an old autopilot takes over.
the inner critic.
The internal voice that tells you that you're lazy, not doing enough, or that everyone else is doing better.
the people pleaser.
The side that feels an urgent need to make others happy, often at the expense of your own boundaries.
the wall.
The part of you that goes numb, shuts down, or "tunes out" when things feel too emotionally heavy.
the achiever.
The side that believes your value is only found in output, leading to burnout and relentless standards.
how we heal the patterns.
Understanding Lifetraps.
Schemas are deep-rooted patterns formed in childhood. You might feel stuck in a cycle of "not feeling good enough," fearing abandonment, or chasing perfectionism. We identify these "lifetraps" so you can finally step out of them.
Break the Repeat Loop.
We address the "Modes" you fall into - the automatic side of you that reacts when triggered. By interrupting this cycle, we introduce healthy, conscious ways of relating to yourself and others.
Heal our Vulnerable Side.
Through Limited Reparenting, we meet the emotional needs that weren't met in your past, such as safety, validation, or boundaries. This strengthens your "Healthy Adult" voice and builds genuine self-worth.
