Attachment-based Counselling in Brighton

Rosie Smith
Psychologist, MSc, HCPC - Couns. Psych.
I offer 3 types of therapy, they can be used alone, or in combination: Attachment-based psychodynamic therapy (focus on making links between childhood and current relationships, usually long-term), Parent infant psychotherapy (focus on relationship between parent and infant, usually relatively short-term) and EMDR therapy (focus on emotionally charged memories or trauma, usually short-mid length).
Are you struggling with an aspect of parenting? You are not alone. Becoming a parent is a time of great change, transition and heightened vulnerability. The highs of parenthood are wonderful and celebrated, but the lows are often less acknowledged and can be harder to share. Every parent deserve to feel heard and supported. When it comes to seeking help, research shows that early intervention is key. Using short or long-term work, perinatal therapy can be used for a variety of parenting concerns such as colic, feeding/sleeping, low mood, anxiety, attachment concerns and many more.

Are you struggling with intimacy, sexual confidence, or feeling disconnected from your partner or your own body? Difficulties with sex and relationships are incredibly common, but many people feel too ashamed or anxious to talk about them. This can be from a combination of how sex was talked about in your household, your sex education, early sexual experiences and unpleasant sexual experiences. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s going on and begin to move forward.

Perhaps you keep ending up in the same painful relationship patterns, or feel anxious, disconnected or emotionally overwhelmed without fully understanding why. You may struggle with people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or feeling that you're "too much" or "not enough". Together we can explore how past experiences and attachment patterns continue to shape your relationships today, helping you develop greater self-understanding, emotional security and more fulfilling connections.

Sometimes it’s difficult to know where you can turn to talk through family issues and get some help. Often those closest to you are very involved themselves. Or you don’t want to worry them. It may be that you don’t know where to turn. I am a highly experienced Child Psychotherapist. I offer therapy and mental health support for children and young people and consultation to the people who care for them. Therapy provides a safe space to explore issues that might be troubling someone, be it anxiety, stress and unhappiness; separation and loss; worries about school; gender and sexuality; low self esteem or any number of other things.
