Attachment-based Counselling in East London, London
I'm an attachment-based psychotherapist.
Hello. If you're reading this, you're probably asking yourself some tricky questions. Perhaps you've noticed something about your relationships, family, career or lifestyle, that no longer sits right. You'd love to know who you really are, and how you can get there without tripping yourself up (again).
Maybe there is something you've already tried to change over and over again, in many different ways. But whatever you do, stuff keeps on coming straight back. That doesn't sound like fun.
In therapy we'll aim to build an atmosphere of safety and security to explore why those patterns exist and what we can do to challenge/change them.

I am a UKCP-registered attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist.
I am an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist whose aim is to build trust, restore hope and promote growth within a secure therapy relationship. By developing a secure trusting attachment with a therapist, over time this experience can become a crucible within which we can understand, process and come to terms with your difficulties.

The treatment types I use are integrative (a range of different approaches to suit the individual client), person centred, attachment-based, humanistic, existential.
My approach is both integrative and existential. I acknowledge what it means to be human and the inevitable difficulties and discomforts. I work with clients on how, despite these, we may carve out our unique paths to deeper personal meaning, purpose, acceptance and peace. It is my belief that there is the ability within all of us to identify and to transcend our childhood and societal conditioning and patterns. These hold us back from more joy, ease, and inspiration. My aim is support my clients in becoming more familiar with the wise, mature and grounded parts of themselves rather than being ruled by the reactive inner child.

As an integrative practitioner, the range of approaches I use include: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT); Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT); Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy; Mindfulness Interventions; Family Therapy; and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT).
I have worked as a therapist for many years and enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences. I value hearing each person's story and supporting them to find inner calm, understanding, and change unhelpful patterns of thinking, behaving and relating to others. There are many reasons why people seek therapy and would like someone to talk to. I have specialist interest and experience in working with a variety of difficulties, primarily depression, anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, stress &burnout, relationship issues and insecure attachment styles.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Do you find yourself falling into the same unhelpful patterns of relating?

It might be that you are tired of push-pull dynamics, or that you are frustrated by dating and longing for a healthy connection that never seems to work out. Maybe you'd like to change your family interactions, feel more respected or stop the conflict. Perhaps it's the way you treat yourself that's weighing you down and you'd like to feel more at peace with self and others but don't know where to start.

I was helped tremendously by my own experience of therapy, and have been influenced by a variety of approaches to it. I know a thing or two about depression, not caring much for oneself and struggling to understand one’s feelings; I come at it as one who has seen for himself that a better life and a better relationship with the self is both possible and worthwhile. If you would like to know more about me, how I understand therapy and how I work, you might want to visit my website, where I write about all at some depth.

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.
