Schema Mode Therapy Cards

Understand your reactions. Recognise your modes. Build healthier ways of coping.

The Schema Mode Therapy Cards are a practical and engaging tool designed to help individuals identify the different emotional states, coping modes, and behavioural patterns that show up in everyday life. Developed by Jess O'Garr (Clinical Psychologist) and Dr Al Griskaitis (Psychiatrist). 

Schema Mode Therapy focuses on understanding the "parts" of ourselves that emerge in different situations—such as the Vulnerable Child, Angry Child, Detached Protector, Punitive Parent, or Healthy Adult. These cards make complex mode concepts easy to understand and apply, helping you recognise what is happening internally and respond more effectively.

Whether used in therapy, supervision, training, or personal development, these cards provide a powerful way to increase self-awareness and support meaningful change.
