Therapy for Attachment Disorder

The way you learned to attach to people can follow you into adulthood. Some people cling when they fear being left. Others withdraw before anyone can get close enough to hurt them.

Counselling with Moffat can help you notice these patterns without judging them. Most attachment responses began as protection. The work is to understand whether they still fit the life you are trying to build now.

How this can show up

• Fear of abandonment or strong reactions to distance
• Pulling away when someone becomes emotionally close
• Choosing unavailable people or repeating familiar relationship pain
• Needing constant reassurance but struggling to believe it
• Feeling unsafe with conflict, silence, or mixed signals

What counselling with Moffat can focus on

Moffat can help you trace how early relationships shaped trust, boundaries, and emotional safety. Sessions may focus on naming needs clearly, tolerating closeness, and responding to fear without letting it make every decision.

Starting sessions

You do not need to have the whole story worked out. A current relationship pattern is often enough of a starting point.
