Attachment-based Psychologists and Therapists in Hobart, TAS
I work with adults and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, burnout, grief, and life transitions. Many of the people I support are carrying the impacts of complex trauma, difficult relationships, or long-standing patterns that no longer feel sustainable.
People often reach out when they feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, stuck in survival mode, or aware that something needs to change but unsure where to begin. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and paced with care.

Something isn't working, and you've likely been carrying it a while. You might be anxious, flat, or stuck in patterns you can see clearly but can't shift. Perhaps therapy has helped before without reaching the thing underneath.
My work is integrative, experiential and relational. Rather than only talking about difficulties, we slow down and work with what's happening as it happens — emotion, bodily experience, the parts of you that protect and the parts that hurt. I draw on AEDP, alongside IFS, CBT, ACT and EMDR.

Sometimes life can feel like a lot. You may be anxious, grieving, feeling vulnerable or a little lost. Counselling allows you the opportunity to be seen and heard and explore what's going on. Occasionally your past can impact your here and now, and the way you deal with situations. I believe that effective therapy comes from being flexible with the therapeutic modalities used, and meeting you where you are at. I value and foster the importance of a collaborative approach to therapy. I offer a safe space for you to explore your experiences and to develop skills and understanding, which you can take into your day to day life.

The couples that I work with initially describe themselves as feeling "stuck." This might be patterns of behaviours or relationships, feeling weighed down or overwhelmed by trauma, self-doubt, or disconnection from their emotions and body. Sometimes it is navigating the complexities of relationship challenges or neurodivergence. Most of the time what they truly want is to feel lighter, calmer, safer and more in control of their lives. Therapy offers a space to explore these needs and to move toward the life they imagine for themselves.

My approach draws on evidence-based modalities: Attachment-based therapy-understanding how early relationships shaped the way you connect, protect yourself & seek closeness now; EMDR for processing trauma & distress; Schema Therapy for shifting the deep, long-standing patterns & beliefs; The Gottman Method- research-backed approach for relationships/couples.
My ideal client would be someone experiencing recurring fights and feeling unheard & unseen in their relationship. Their presenting issues might involve lack of trust & unhealthy ways of communication. They would need skills & strategies to communicate more effectively & ways to make repairs after conflicts. They would also need tools to rebuild trust and foster intimacy. Another ideal client would be someone who has experienced trauma, childhood or more recent. They might experience anxiety, flashbacks & nightmares. Their goals would be to process the trauma & better manage their distressing thoughts & feelings.

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.
