Why Do Some People Come to Therapy and Create Change, While Others Stay Stuck?

Ever wonder why some people change, while others seem stuck? In this blog, I dive into why that happens and how attachment styles, safety, and even big life events can impact our ability to grow. I explore how therapy, especially for couples, can have a ripple effect—when one person begins to heal, it often inspires change in the other. Whether you’re working through relationship struggles or doing some deep personal work, there’s always hope for transformation. It’s all about creating the right conditions, and sometimes, it only takes one small step to begin shifting the whole dynamic.

The Essential Guide For Parents: Understanding Your Baby’s and Child’s Attachment Needs

I work with adults grappling with the effects of insecure attachments, I often emphasise the importance of breaking these cycles. By understanding their own attachment history, they can learn to recognise and address their emotional triggers, improve their interpersonal relationships, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Ultimately, my goal as an attachment therapist is to empower both parents and individuals to create a nurturing environment that promotes secure attachment, thereby fostering emotional resilience and healthier relationships for generations to come. It’s a journey that not only benefits the individual but also strengthens families, creating a more compassionate and connected community.
