Attachment-based Counselling in Loughborough
Perhaps you're overthinking, experiencing anxiety or low mood, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling with a sense that you don't quite know what's wrong. You may have experienced a panic attack, be struggling with relationships, or find yourself returning again and again to something that happened in the past. Sometimes something from childhood or adolescence can resurface when life changes or circumstances bring old feelings to the surface. You don't need to have it all worked out before you come to therapy.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next — and you’ve likely tried to handle it all on your own.
My clients come to me because they want to understand why they feel the way they do, heal what’s been holding them back, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and purposeful.
Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or a sense that they’re “not enough.” Others are navigating big transitions; leaving a relationship, changing careers, confronting past trauma, intrusive thoughts or OCD.
They don’t just want coping skills; they want insight, grow

Hello, thank you for taking time to read my profile, in doing so you've already taken a step towards finding support. My training is in the person-centred approach, which puts the client at the centre of the work we do together.

Are you struggling with difficult feelings such as fear, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, anger? Do you feel like you are going around in circles and can't see a light at the end of the tunnel? Taking that step to ask for help can be a frightening one, but it can also be them beginning of stepping out of that circle and finding a different perspective. My name is Nicky Daly and I work in a counselling/psychotherapy practice, just 3 minutes drive from J23 of the M1. As a practise we offer short and long term therapy for individuals, couples and children. We have over 30 years experience supporting people in distress.

It’s scary admitting to yourself that you need help; and that you’re struggling with whatever is causing you to feel unhappy, dysregulated or distressed. Due to stigma, people feel that they can only access therapy when they are at breaking point; when in fact you can access therapy whenever you need to. My background is in working with abuse survivors, and those who have experienced trauma. As a result I work with narcissism, depression, low self esteem, shame, loneliness, hopelessness, grief & loss, anger, self harm and suicidal feelings as well as a broad range of other factors and experiences clients bring to their sessions.

You may be grappling with a specific issue, feeling low, anxious or emotionally stuck; perhaps sensing that something deeper needs attention, including help with unprocessed experiences that have had a lasting impact on you. You don't have to figure it out alone.
Supporting clients through life transitions is a focus of my practice. These changes may be planned, like career shifts; or be unexpected, such as bereavement, ill health or relationship breakdowns. These life chapters and transitions often bring feelings of uncertainty and grief, although they can also offer opportunities for reflection and personal growth.

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.
