The patterns you learned to survive don't have to be the patterns you live by
ATTACHMENT & RELATIONSHIPS
The way we learned to connect or protect ourselves early in life tends to echo through our adult relationships. Maybe you find yourself needing constant reassurance, pulling away when things get close, or repeating dynamics you swore you'd avoid. These patterns make sense given where they came from, and they can shift.
what we can support you with.
Areas we commonly support include:
-
anxious, avoidant, and disorganised attachment patterns
-
repeated relationship conflict or difficulty feeling secure with a partner
-
fear of abandonment, fear of closeness, or oscillating between the two
-
family-of-origin dynamics and how they show up in adult relationships
-
friendship and workplace relationship difficulties
-
building the skills and self-trust needed for secure, stable connection
our approach.
We draw on attachment theory to make sense of where these patterns began and schema therapy to help identify the underlying coping patterns driving these relationship difficulties, while IFS supports the different 'parts' of you involved (e.g., the part that pushes people away, the part that fears rejection, and so on).
