Schema Coaching Reflective Practice
Wednesday 29th April, 8.30-10 am EET on Zoom
In an exciting recent development, Dr. Iain McCormick has brought the powerful insights of Schema Therapy, originally designed for clinical settings, into the coaching world. His work now makes these transformative tools accessible for personal and professional growth through coaching.
Schemas are enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors shaped in childhood that can become limiting when core needs aren’t met, or healthy and supportive when those needs are fulfilled, influencing how we relate to ourselves and others throughout life.
Schema Coaching offers a practical, integrated approach for coaches who want to help clients shift long‑standing patterns and unlock healthier ways of being. In this session, you’ll get a hands‑on introduction to Schema Coaching, identify one of your own schemas, and learn how to work with it using mindful release techniques.
The session is in English and EMCC Finland invites all EMCC Nordic neighbors to join us! Welcome! Tervetuloa! Välkommen! Velkommen!
