Our Approach

Attachment-based Therapy

Attachment-based therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on how early relationships—especially with primary caregivers—shape a person’s sense of safety, self-worth, and expectations in close relationships. Often, we begin to re-examine how we were parented once we have our own children.

 

The core idea is that many current difficulties (anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, chronic insecurity, fear of abandonment, emotional numbness) are linked to disrupted or insecure attachment patterns formed in childhood. 

 

Key elements:

  • Focus on early bonding and current patterns. The therapist helps clients explore how past experiences of being cared for (or neglected, criticized, controlled, or abandoned) show up now in how they trust, depend on, and respond to others.

  • Attachment style awarenessClients often learn about patterns like anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachment, and how these influence their behaviors (clinging, withdrawing, people-pleasing, shutting down) and expectations in relationships.

NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM)

NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) is a type of therapy for complex and developmental trauma—things like long-term childhood stress, emotional neglect, or growing up in unsafe or unpredictable environments.

NARM focuses on:

  1. Here and now, not just the past
    It acknowledges what happened, but spends more time on how those old experiences are affecting you right now—in your body, emotions, thoughts, and relationships.

  2. Connection vs. disconnection
    NARM looks at how you disconnect from yourself (numbing, overthinking, people-pleasing, shutting down, staying “busy”) in order to survive pain, and helps you gently reconnect to your real feelings and needs.

  3. Resources and strengths
    Instead of seeing you as “broken,” NARM assumes you already have inner resources. Therapy helps you notice where you do have capacity (for choice, boundaries, connection) and build on that.

  4. Working with the body and the relationship
    The therapist pays attention to your body (tension, tight chest, holding your breath, etc.) and to what happens between you and them in the session. This provides real-time clues about old patterns and new possibilities.

  5. Less story, more pattern
    NARM doesn’t require endlessly retelling traumatic stories. It’s more about noticing patterns—like “I always feel responsible for everyone else” or “I can’t ask for help”—and gently loosening those patterns so you have more freedom.
