Ways I can help

I usually work with clients in one of two ways.

Style Focused Programme is for people whose attachment patterns are affecting several areas of life at the same time and who are looking to move in the direction of secure attachment.

Problem Specific Programme is for people with one recurring issue that is causing disproportionate difficulty, even if attachment patterns may also be showing up elsewhere.

Style Focused programme

This is for people who recognise that attachment-driven patterns are causing problems across several areas of life - in relationships, at work, or simply how they relate to themselves - and are looking for transformational change in all areas.

We begin by exploring situations where attachment patterns are showing up, the mechanics beneath them, and the impact they’re having on your life. Once we have an overview, we design a series of interventions tailored to those specific patterns, using techniques such as belief reprogramming and behavioural work to gradually build healthier responses that can be called upon even in difficult situations.

Applied across multiple patterns, over time, this leads to a broad shift in the way you respond across many situations, ultimately moving in the direction of secure attachment.

Once learned, the tools themselves become a practical resource that can be returned to repeatedly - so that change becomes something you can maintain independently long after the coaching process itself has ended.

The programme typically runs across 12 sessions, with scope for follow up and accountability sessions where helpful.

Problem Specific programme

This programme is for people who have a specific issue: a recurring pattern they wish to change, even if they don't fully understand why it keeps happening.

Examples of problems that lend themselves to this approach include: procrastination and avoidance, reassurance-seeking loops, shutting down in conflict, resentment that builds and then erupts, perfectionism, and overthinking.

Many of these patterns are attachment-driven. Some may involve a mix of attachment patterns alongside other mechanisms.

In each case the approach is the same: we understand precisely what is happening then choose interventions accordingly.

Programmes typically run across four to five sessions, though they can expand where wider patterns are involved.

For many people, this can be the most time-efficient and cost-effective approach.

Problems I work with

Attachment-heavy patterns

  • “I pull away when things get serious”
  • “I lose feelings suddenly”
  • “I want connection but something shuts down”
  • “I spiral when I don’t hear back”
  • “I overthink everything they say”
  • “I can’t say no without feeling awful”
  • “I feel responsible for other people’s emotions”
  • “I intellectualise everything”
  • “I struggle to access emotions”
  • “I avoid difficult conversations”
  • “I shut down or explode”
  • “There’s something wrong with me”
  • “I never feel good enough”

Mixed / not always attachment-driven

  • “I delay things I know matter”
  • “I overanalyse everything before acting”
  • “My worth is tied to productivity”
  • “I hold myself back when things matter”
  • "I spend a lot of time scrolling/bingeing/distracting myself"
