Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that began in early relationships and how these influence current connections, supporting people working through relationship, intimacy and family issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alison works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She integrates techniques from different models to create a personalised plan and reviews progress together over time.
