SchemXcollective: Integrative Schema Therapy Institute

Founded by Dr Xi Liu and Dr Nicole Manktelow after a serendipitous meeting at the 2022 ISST Conference in Copenhagen, SchemX was born from a shared passion to adapt Schema Therapy to meet the needs of the modern world. 

Our mission is to offer training that goes beyond technical competence—creating spaces that are respectful, inclusive, and transformative. Grounded in Schema Therapy’s concept of Limited Reparenting, we centre the therapeutic relationship as a source of nurture and support, so you feel both equipped and empowered as you grow.

Through immersive small-group workshops, SchemX provides bold, affirming spaces for mental health professionals to deepen their therapeutic skills while fostering both personal and professional development.

At SchemXcollective, we are unapologetically committed to equity.

We affirm and honour the lived experiences shaped by culture, neurodivergence, gender identity, sexuality, class, disability, and more—recognising that these intersecting factors shape both our clients’ stories and our own.
