Attachment struggles can look like:

• Fear of abandonment or being “too much”

• Difficulty trusting others or letting them in

• Feeling anxious if someone pulls away

• Keeping people at arm’s length, even when you crave closeness

• Intense highs and lows in relationships

• Feeling unworthy of love or “hard to love”

• Becoming overly dependent on others for reassurance

• Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns

You might recognise yourself in anxious, avoidant, or disorganised attachment patterns — or simply notice a struggle with closeness, boundaries, or self-worth.

Therapy offers a safe, stable relationship where new patterns can be experienced and built. Together, we can:

• Explore how your early experiences shaped your attachment style

• Heal the wounds of neglect, inconsistency, or loss

• Strengthen self-worth and the ability to trust yourself and others

• Learn to regulate emotions in relationships (instead of being overwhelmed by them)

• Build healthier boundaries without fear of losing connection

• Create space for authentic intimacy and mutual respect

Attachment isn’t fixed. With healing, you can shift toward secure attachment — where love, trust, and independence coexist.

I use a trauma-informed and relational approach that integrates:

• EMDR Therapy — to reprocess past attachment wounds and reduce triggers in current relationships.

• Counselling — offering a safe, consistent space where you can explore fears and practise new ways of relating.

• NLP & Coaching tools — to help reframe limiting beliefs (“I’m unlovable,” “People always leave”) and strengthen healthier patterns.

The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a healing ground — where safety, reliability, and compassion are consistently experienced.

Case Story 1 – Fear of Abandonment

Sophia (not their real name) grew up in an environment where love felt conditional. As an adult, she constantly worried that people would leave her. In relationships, she became anxious and clingy, checking messages repeatedly and feeling panicked when her partner needed space.

In therapy, we explored these deep fears and used EMDR to reprocess early experiences of feeling unwanted. Alongside this, she practiced self-soothing strategies and boundary work. Over time, Sophia became less fearful of abandonment, finding more balance in her relationships and greater trust in herself.

Case Story 2 – Avoidant Attachment

James (not their real name) learned as a child to cope with neglect by shutting down his feelings. As an adult, he avoided intimacy, struggled to express emotions, and pulled away whenever relationships deepened. Though he longed for closeness, vulnerability felt unsafe.

Through counselling and gentle EMDR work, James began to reconnect with his emotions in small, manageable steps. He practiced allowing others in without losing his sense of independence. Eventually, he felt able to maintain closeness in relationships without the urge to run.

Case Story 3 – Disorganized Attachment

Layla (not their real name) experienced inconsistent caregiving — sometimes comforted, sometimes ignored, sometimes punished for showing emotion. This left her with a mix of longing and fear in relationships. She often found herself caught in a push-pull dynamic: craving connection but panicking when it came.

In therapy, we worked on building inner resources and safety first. Then, with EMDR, Layla began to reprocess key early experiences that left her confused about love and trust. Over time, she reported feeling calmer, more secure, and able to approach relationships without the same intensity of fear.

Can attachment styles really change?
Yes. Attachment styles are patterns learned early in life, but therapy can help you develop new, healthier patterns over time.

Is attachment therapy only about romantic relationships?
No — it can improve friendships, family dynamics, work relationships, and your relationship with yourself.

How long does it take to heal attachment wounds?
It varies. Shifts often begin within weeks, but deeper change comes with consistent therapy and practice.

I understand how painful and confusing it can feel to struggle with trust, intimacy, or boundaries. My approach is compassionate, grounded, and practical — supporting you to heal the past, build secure relationships, and feel more at home in yourself.

• Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe. You’ll never be pushed into sharing more than you’re ready for. Instead, we’ll focus on creating a foundation of safety and self-understanding, so that deeper healing can unfold naturally.

• I draw on integrative methods such as EMDR, counselling, and NLP to help you gently reprocess old wounds while also learning new, healthier patterns of connection. This dual approach means we’re not only addressing the past, but also equipping you with practical tools to feel more secure in the present.

• Clients often share that they begin to feel less reactive, more grounded, and more able to form connections that feel nourishing instead of draining. Whether your attachment struggles show up in romantic relationships, friendships, or family dynamics, therapy can help you move toward greater security and freedom.

If you’ve ever felt like your relationships define your worth, or that you’re stuck in repeating patterns, know that healing is possible. Together, we can shift from surviving relationships to truly thriving in them.

I also offer a free consultation where we can explore your situation, answer any questions, and see whether therapy feels like the right fit for you.
