Schema therapy
At Hedepy, our therapists help you identify and transform the "life traps" or schemas that have held you back for years. If you feel like you keep repeating the same mistakes in relationships or struggle with persistent feelings of inadequacy, schema therapy provides the deep-reaching tools to finally break free and meet your emotional needs.
What can Schema therapy help you with?
- 1Identifying "life traps": Understanding the long-standing emotional themes (like fear of abandonment or social isolation) that trigger your distress.
- 2Healing inner wounds: Using "limited reparenting" techniques to provide the emotional support you may have missed during your formative years.
- 3Breaking self-defeating cycles: Recognizing why you choose the same toxic partners or sabotage your own success, and learning how to stop.
- 4Managing "modes": Learning how to navigate different parts of your personality, such as the "Vulnerable child" or the "Demanding critic."
- 5Emotional regulation: Developing the capacity to handle intense feelings without falling back into old, destructive coping mechanisms.
- 6Deep-seated beliefs: Shifting core convictions like "I'm not good enough" or "I am unlovable" into a more balanced, healthy self-view.
- 7Lasting personality change: Moving beyond symptom relief toward a fundamental shift in how you experience yourself and the world.

Date of review • 29. 10. 2025I almost never write reviews for anything, but I felt like Kseniia truly deserves the praise. She has been absolutely incredible as a therapist. From the very first session, she made me feel heard and understood in a way I didn’t know I needed. She listens so deeply and approaches every situation with empathy and insight, always knowing exactly what I need and how to guide me there.
What I appreciate most about Kseniia is that she’s not afraid to be real with me — she tells me what I need to hear, not just what I want to hear, but always with kindness and respect. Because of her approach, I’ve gained so much self-awareness and clarity in my life. She’s helped me make real, lasting changes and I’m truly grateful for her support.
If you’re looking for someone who is genuine, insightful, and deeply committed to your growth, Kseniia is that person.

Date of review • 29. 08. 2025I'm always looking forward to my sessions with Gordana. She picks up on my patterns very quickly and while she might not always say what I want to hear, it's exactly what I need to hear. Every session feels both friendly and approachable, yet she's consistently professional and incredibly knowledgeable. I'm learning something new each time, and she truly helps me understand myself better.

Date of review • 26. 05. 2025As an expat living in the Czech Republic, I tried therapy for the first time. Nicole was compassionate, patient, and friendly.
She helped me unpack the multiple factors contributing to the high stress I was feeling and supported me in taking steps toward change.
We worked together on calming exercises, which have been a big help in managing the high anxiety I developed over the past few years.
I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to start making positive changes to my stress levels with her support.
