Attachment-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on relationships, connection, and emotional safety. It helps you understand how early experiences with caregivers, family, or significant relationships may continue to affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour today.
Whether you’re struggling with intimacy, trust, anxiety, self-esteem, or patterns in relationships, attachment therapy offers a safe space to explore and heal these experiences.
Why Attachment Matters
Our early attachments shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Healthy attachment fosters:
- Security and emotional regulation
- Trust in relationships
- Self-worth and confidence
- Ability to navigate conflict and stress
When attachment is disrupted — through trauma, neglect, or inconsistent caregiving — it can show up as:
- Difficulty trusting others
- Avoidance of closeness or intimacy
- Anxiety, fear of rejection, or emotional overwhelm
- Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
Attachment therapy helps you understand these patterns, process emotions safely, and build healthier ways of connecting.
How Attachment Therapy Helps
- Awareness of patterns – Identify how early experiences influence current relationships and self-perception.
- Emotional processing – Work through unresolved feelings in a safe, supportive environment.
- Building secure connections – Learn ways to connect with yourself and others more safely and confidently.
- Integration and growth – Develop strategies to manage triggers, regulate emotions, and strengthen relationships.
