What Is Attachment-Informed Therapy?
Attachment-informed therapy is a psychotherapy approach based on attachment theory, which can help you understand how early relationships with caregivers shape the way we connect, trust and respond to others as adults. It can also show you how relationship patterns formed in childhood, can continue to influence your confidence, emotional wellbeing and sense of security in the present.
Rather than simply addressing surface-level symptoms, this approach helps you uncover the roots of unhelpful patterns and develop new ways of relating, both to yourself and to others. Attachment therapy can help you begin to build healthier connections, strengthen emotional resilience and move forward in relationships with greater clarity, confidence and inner security.

How Attachment-Informed Therapy Can Help
Attachment-informed therapy focuses on helping you understand how early experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, and connect today. Rather than dwelling on the past, it supports you in recognising old patterns and replacing them with healthier, more secure ways of relating. With guidance from a KlearMinds therapist, you can build insight, self-awareness, and practical tools to strengthen your emotional wellbeing and create more authentic, rewarding relationships, with yourself and with others.
Attachment-informed therapy can help you:
- Recognise and understand your attachment style and change cycles of anxious, avoidant, or disorganised attachment patterns which cause problems in your relationships
- Recognise and shift patterns of avoidance, over-dependence, or self-protection that no longer serve you
- Understand how early attachment experiences shape your current relationship dynamics
- Make sense of emotional reactions and behaviours that arise in moments of stress or disconnection
- Learn practical tools to regulate your emotions and communicate your needs effectively
- Rebuild trust in yourself and your capacity for healthy connection
- Cultivate a sense of safety, balance, and emotional stability in relationships
- Strengthen your ability to form secure, fulfilling bonds with others

FAQs
-
How long will it take for attachment-informed therapy to help?
-
The length of therapy can vary depending on your individual experiences, relationship history, and what you’d like to achieve. Some clients begin to notice positive changes within a few sessions, particularly as they gain insight into how past relationships have shaped current patterns and start learning tools to manage emotions and build self-trust. For example, some people find 12 to 24 sessions works well for them, other people find more sessions useful. Your therapist can help you identify how many sessions will work best for you.
