Nik and Eva Speakman have studied and worked together since 1992, both sharing an uncontainable passion to help people lead happier and less inhibited lives. Studying psychologists and in particular, the work of Ivan Pavlov, John Watson, Jean Piaget, Albert Bandura, Lev Vygotsky and B.F. Skinner, they acquired an intellectual curiosity for behaviourism and behavioural conditioning. After many remarkable breakthroughs, their studies transformed into the creation of their own behavioural change therapy known as 'Schema Conditioning.' (R) They also created a further exceptional trauma-based therapy, 'Visual Schema Displacement.' (R)
As well as members of the public, the couple work with, and have treated many high-profile clients around the world and have had countless successes. They are resident therapists of nine years on ITV's multi award-winning 'This Morning' and they have had their own shows, one of which, 'The Speakmans', also aired on ITV. They have also appeared on numerous other television shows such as the award-winning Saturday Night Takeaway, as expert contributors.
Nik and Eva are currently working with psychology professors at Universities in Amsterdam and Utrecht who are conducting scientific studies into the workings of their therapy and the scientific papers proving its remarkable efficacy in the first two scientific studies were published in June 2019 in the 'Journal Of Behavioural Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry'. The third study with a significantly larger sample size is underway and the fourth multiple baseline study will be completed by mid 2020.
Nik and Eva help people through many mediums including live workshops, tours, radio, books and television. Their latest book 'Conquering Anxiety' has been a #1 best seller on Amazon for several weeks.
At the heart of all of their plans lies a relentless mission to assist as many people as they can to overcome their issues, and to help them to improve the quality of their lives.
