I must admit that after studying and working in mental health field for the last 10 years, I can now state that my fellow psychologists and counsellors have failed our society.
I'm deeply disturbed by the fact that I cannot recommend any of my colleagues as professionals who could provide you with a worthy advice. The science of psychology has been corrupted a long time ago by global political agenda, which lead to production of homogenised society. Our uniqueness and, therefore, potential and right for happiness were stripped away by the same psychologists.

I have worked with individuals from all walks of life. Most of my work has been with individuals working in the emergency services context, as well as those with experiences of long-standing and ongoing anxiety. This might be individuals looking to get a better a handle on their nervous system in order to better manage the challenges and demands life throws at them. These individuals are usually already highly reflective and have a readiness and willingness to work on issues affecting and surrounding them.

Feeling stuck?
You’re used to being the one others turn to: calm, capable, in control. But lately, you feel exhausted, emotionally flat, or disconnected from who you are. You may have tried talk therapy, time off, or pushing through, but something still doesn’t feel right. You’re carrying more than most people realise: burnout, trauma, or a deep sense of stuckness.
You want relief, clarity, and to feel more like yourself again: present, connected, and at peace. You’re not looking for a quick fix, but a more sustainable, embodied way forward.

Attachment-based Counsellors
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.
