Attachment-based Psychologists and Therapists in Woolloomooloo, NSW
As a psychologist, I help facilitate and increase your self-awareness on how and why you think, feel and act. From incidental solution-focussed approaches during a crisis, to exploring and processing the impact of trauma from your past, you can come to accept and welcome all of your parts and take control. Increase your self-worth and self-esteem with healthy boundaries, compassion to self, and always trying to work from your rational mind, the part that manages emotions, connects, attaches and feels safe.

Welcome to You are Here Therapy.
Some people call it trauma. Others call it a difficult experience or a painful chapter they can't seem to move past. Whatever you call it, its effects can linger, shaping how you see yourself, relate to others, and navigate life.
Sometimes it's a current stressor that feels overwhelming. Sometimes it's the past showing up in the present. I support adults of all backgrounds and genders, with a particular affinity for working with gay men.
Together, we'll make sense of your story, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Your past may shape your story, but it doesn't have to write your future.

Many people come to counselling feeling stuck in survival mode. They are overwhelmed, constantly overthinking, emotionally reactive, or caught in the same relationship patterns they promised themselves they would not repeat.
I work with people who are tired of analysing everything and still feeling the same. In our work together, we slow things down so you can understand what is driving your reactions, regulate your emotions, and respond differently with more clarity, control, and self-trust.

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.
