What technique do The Speakmans use?

The pair use their own self-developed technique called Schema Conditioning Therapy.

They use it to recondition negative thoughts or behaviour and find the root of fears.

The Speakmans believe their method is better than the NHS.

Nik said on This Morning: “We genuinely believe using our therapies in the NHS would reduce the waiting list, get people off medication and help a whole load of people.”

However, some viewers aren’t convinced it’s a genuine technique.

One person tweeted: “Making out The Speakmans cure EVERYONE they treat just adds to their unbelievability #thismorning.”

Another added that it was “irresponsible TV” to claim that the NHS service is not as good as theirs.

Eva Speakman opens up about domestic violence

In 2019, Eva Speakman left Holly Willoughby in tears after an emotional interview on This Morning.

The therapist admitted that she was a victim of domestic abuse by an ex-boyfriend.

She said: “I had this huge realisation – and when I did it was quite chilling – because you know systematically it’s getting worse and worse… potentially you could end up in you being killed.

“Not necessarily with the intent of death but due to the magnitude of the violence.”
