How it works

At Centre Self Collective, we take a compassionate and holistic approach to therapy. We integrate experiential, behavioural, and cognitive techniques to help individuals uncover and address the schemas that may be holding them back.

What’s a schema? Think of it as a deeply rooted belief system—patterns that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Often, these schemas stem from unmet core emotional needs during childhood, but they continue to influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the present.

Our work focuses on reducing the intensity of the memories tied to these schemas, alleviating the emotional charge, easing bodily sensations, and reframing unhelpful thought patterns. Through therapy, we explore techniques like:  

• Building self-awareness

• Imagery rescripting

• Reparenting exercises

• Chair work

These evidence-based strategies aim to bring understanding and recovery, empowering you to overcome barriers and create meaningful change in your life.
