You can’t change the past, but you can change the patterns from past hurt and disappointments.
How attachemnt therapy works
It may feel impossible now, but you can build lasting, safe connections with others. You can have a deeper understanding of how you “show up” within your relationships. And we can help you get there.
Therapy for an insecure attachment style can help you…
Identify your attachment style and how that impacts your behavior within a partnership
Understand how your behavior patterns are actually your attachment style trying to help you feel safe, but actually doing the opposite
Learn the skills you need to have a deep, healthy relationship, so you can finally feel at peace within partnerships
We will help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. Our approach to an insecure attachment style comes from a place of compassion and acceptance: believing that you are not the “problem”, but that it’s simply the cycles we fall into that need adjusting. Our attachment style is born out of a place of self-protection, it is time to let ourselves feel safe in a new way.
It’s time to be free from panic and worry within our relationships.
We can help you get there.

There is no cookie cutter answer here. Therapy is entirely what you make of it. If you are looking for a time-limited treatment course, we can talk about if this feasible for what we are trying to achieve or not. However, we often encourage clients to come in with an open mind to explore. Often there are many layers to the onion that is our mental health and it often isn’t an easy 1-2-3 fix.
