Attachment-Based Parent-Child Relationship Building Therapy

Attachment is the lasting psychological connectedness between two human beings.
John Bowlby

This therapy involves dyadic developmental psychotherapy between parent and child (typically mother and child), aiming to support emotional reconnection and relationship repair.

A secure attachment provides children with a ‘secure base’ essential for key developmental milestones, including:

  • Emotional regulation
  • Bowel and bladder control
  • Learning and relational skills
  • General wellbeing
  • Ability to receive praise and reciprocate emotional gestures (e.g., hugging)
  • Motivation, sense of safety, stress regulation, adaptability, and resilience

Treatment Process

After an initial assessment, a combination of individual and joint parent-child therapy sessions is provided, along with intensive psychoeducation for parents/carers and play therapy for the child.
