Attachment Problems

Insecure attachment patterns from early childhood can affect all your close relationships, and can be reshaped in adulthood.

What is Attachment Problems?

Attachment theory describes how early bonding experiences with caregivers shape our expectations of relationships. Insecure attachment styles, anxious, avoidant or disorganised, often manifest as relationship difficulties in adulthood. Therapy can support the development of a more secure relational base.
