CBT is a structured, evidence-based therapy that focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours. It teaches practical skills to reframe thinking patterns and develop healthier responses to situations.
Schema Therapy focuses on identifying deeply ingrained patterns formed in early life, which influence how people perceive themselves and others. Schema Therapy helps individuals understand, heal from, and change these long-standing patterns.
DBT is designed for people with intense emotions and self-destructive behaviours. It combines acceptance and change strategies and teaches core skills in four areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
