Attachment-based

Attachment-based therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on how early attachment experiences with caregivers shape an individual's later emotional and relational patterns. The goal of attachment-based therapy is to help individuals develop secure attachments and improve their relationships with others.

Attachment theory, which forms the basis of attachment-based therapy, was developed by British psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s and 1960s. Bowlby's theory suggests that children develop an internal working model of attachment based on their early experiences with their primary caregiver. This model shapes their expectations for how relationships should be and how they should behave in relationships throughout their lives.

The therapy focuses on repairing these disrupted patterns and building more secure attachment relationships.

During attachment-based therapy, the therapist and client work together to explore the client's attachment history and patterns. The therapist helps the client identify and process any past traumas or attachment disruptions, and teaches the client skills to improve their attachment patterns and relationships.

Attachment-based therapy typically involves a warm, empathetic, and collaborative therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client. The therapist helps the client learn to regulate their emotions, develop self-awareness, and improve their ability to communicate and connect with others. Techniques used in attachment-based therapy may include role-playing, mindfulness exercises, and exploring the client's thoughts and feelings about relationships.

Overall, attachment-based therapy seeks to help clients build more secure attachment relationships and improve their emotional well-being and quality of life. It is a valuable approach for individuals who have experienced trauma or disrupted attachment patterns, as well as for anyone who wants to improve their relationships and emotional health.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.
