Relationship Therapy
We specialize in providing support and guidance for individuals seeking to improve their relationships. Our goal is to help you understand how healthy relationships affect mental well-being and how therapy can positively impact your daily life.
Understanding Relationships & Attachments
Healthy relationships are vital for overall well-being and can impact various aspects of mental health, including self-esteem, emotional stability, and social connections.
Attachment styles describe the ways individuals form emotional bonds and manage relationships based on early life experiences, particularly with caregivers. These styles are often categorized into four main types: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized. A secure attachment style typically develops when caregivers provide consistent support, fostering trust and emotional security. In contrast, anxious attachment may arise from inconsistent caregiving, leading to fear of abandonment. Avoidant attachment often stems from emotionally distant caregivers, pushing individuals to suppress their emotional needs. Disorganized attachment, which can result from trauma or neglect, combines fear with confusion in relationships.
The Impact of Relationships on Mental Health
People in strained relationships often experience challenges that extend beyond communication and intimacy, including struggles with emotional regulation, mood disorders, and increased stress levels. Anxiety and depression are common when relationships are difficult, as the constant effort to manage conflict and meet expectations can feel overwhelming. Additionally, low self-esteem may develop due to negative interactions or feelings of inadequacy. Understanding your attachment style can provide valuable insight into your behaviours and help guide personal growth and healthier connections.
How Therapy Can Help
It’s important to recognize that relationship challenges are a common human experience, and effective management—such as therapy, open communication, and mutual support—can make a profound difference. Our therapy sessions aim to help individuals better understand how their relationships affect their mental health and develop coping strategies for healthier interactions.
