I work with individuals, couples, and professionals who want to better understand the patterns affecting their communication, confidence, relationships, performance, and emotional wellbeing. Many clients come to me feeling stuck in repeating cycles — difficulty speaking up, conflict that keeps returning, self-doubt, stress, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, avoidance, or a sense that they are not showing up as fully as they would like in life, work, or relationships.
My work supports clients to make sense of these patterns, understand what may be driving them, and develop clearer, more grounded ways of responding.

Hi, I’m Jake (they/he). There's a tonne of therapy buzzwords thrown around these days, words that can feel important and quietly position therapists as the experts on life. That hierarchy is not a great way to start any relationship let alone a therapeutic one. My practice recognises that therapy does not exist outside culture. It is influenced by histories of power and by colonial and capitalist ideas about productivity and normality. I believe we need to name that and recognise the impact of these structures on marginalised bodies, so the work can feel honest rather than performative.

You may appear to be functioning well on the outside. But inside, something still feels unresolved. You've done the reading, perhaps even the therapy, and yet the patterns persist. The weight hasn't lifted. Something deeper is asking to be met.

I draw on EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems and somatic approaches to work with the parts of you that talking alone hasn't reached. Not just processing what happened, but exploring who you are becoming.

Many people I work with feel stuck, disconnected, or burnt out. They might be dealing with trauma, addiction, relationship stress, or a sense of having lost direction. Some don’t know where to begin only that things can’t keep going the way they have. Whether it’s processing pain, finding meaning, or understanding old patterns, therapy offers a place to slow down and make sense of what’s been happening.

For many clients, I incorporate attachment-based, Internal Family Systems and trauma-informed approaches.
I work with adults who experience anxiety, emotional distress or relationship difficulties, particularly when these feel longstanding, confusing or hard to shift. This might include difficulty forming or maintaining relationships, repeating patterns of conflict, family stress, parenting feeling overwhelming or a persistent sense of disconnection or loneliness. Many people I work with want to make sense of how their past and relational experiences influence the way they react and respond today. I also support children experiencing anxiety, stress or emotional regulation difficulties and work closely with caregivers.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioural Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
