Schema Therapy with attachment focus is what I predominately use in therapy. Schemas are core internalised beliefs, often unhelpful beliefs which interfere with us living our best lives. I also use chair psychotherapy work which helps to separate the unhelpful part or undesirable behaviour from the individual so we can objectively look at the part we wish to change.
