Working in partnership with Life Therapy Centre Swansea & Talk In The Bay, I am delighted to bring Schema Therapy for Relationships/Couples to Swansea.  My work helps couples gain an understanding of unhealthy patterns that have been destructive in their relationship.  We work with a map to gain an understanding of clashes; while working slowly and collaboratively you will learn, understand and improve your relationships.

Once you’ve begun to identify and stop the cycles that are destructive, and shift to problem-solving-orientated patterns, you will be able to manage and deal with difficulties in your relationship.  You will understand that it’s ‘not you’ it’s the ‘schema’ that needs support to change and this is how we will work reassuringly in the room.

I often say to my clients ‘it’s not you…it’s your schemas’. There is often profound relief that there can be an explanation for the way they are feeling or acting. And schema therapy goes beyond this explanation. With careful, experiential, work it can help repair some of the damage done in formative years. I have undertaken full schema therapy training, have attended workshops, international schema conferences, and regular trauma group meetings. Lately, I have completed an online course with Wendy Behary, an expert in narcissism – as I often come across clients struggling with a narcissist in their lives.

‘I’m passionate about schema therapy as it takes a trauma informed approach and enables individuals to get above the ‘symptoms’ of a problem. I have been using schema therapy for many years and feel it lends itself to flexibility so that other therapies can also be incorporated at appropriate times.’

Neill Hughes

Having worked as a trauma-informed therapist and often finding clients stuck in unhelpful patterns, I have found Schema therapy as an approach that finally makes sense of what I have often observed. Helping clients to become more adaptive in dealing with distress and understanding the root of their feelings and being able to emotionally heal, I have found Schema therapy can make a real difference to clients’ lives. I have completed the full ISST Schema therapy training, as well as other trauma-based approaches such as; DBT skills and Mentalisation Based Therapy for families (MBT-F) and I have extensive experience working with childhood trauma.
