Attachment Therapy in Newcastle
Childhood Attachment Difficulties Newcastle
Strong, secure attachment relationships are essential for a child’s emotional development and well-being. Insecure attachment can lead to behavioural difficulties and difficulties with forming relationships in adult life.
At Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling, our team of experienced child counsellors and psychologists offers specialist attachment therapy in Newcastle to support children who might be experiencing attachment difficulties.
Attachment difficulties can take several forms and may present differently in children than in adults. Our team of Child Psychologists, Child Counsellors, and Psychotherapists can help children and families work through difficulties to give their child the best start possiblie in life.
Signs of Attachment Difficulties in Children
Attachment difficulties can present in various ways, often depending on the child’s experiences and age.
Common signs of attachment problems in children include:
- Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships
- Fear of abandonment, rejection, or excessive clinging to parents or adults
- Outbursts of anger, frustration, or sadness at home or at school
- Challenges with making or maintaining friendships
- Struggles with managing emotions at home, at school or around others
- Aggression, withdrawal, or rejection towards people
Childhood attachment difficulties may arise due to a range of factors, such as difficulties at home, family separation or new additions, or upsetting experiences with other people (whether at home, at school, or elsewhere).
Difficulties with attachment can persist into adulthood leading to later difficulties with forming relationships (both friendships and romantic relationships), and even problems at work.
How Attachment Therapy Can Help
Our child counsellors and psychologists in Newcastle provide a safe, supportive environment where children and families can explore and work with the root causes of attachment difficulties.
Using evidence-based approaches, we focus on repairing and strengthening the parent-child bond, while helping children develop healthier ways to relate with others so they develop healthy attachment skills from a young age.
Attachment therapy can help your child to:
- Build trust in caregivers and others
- Develop stronger emotional regulation skills
- Improve their ability to connect and communicate with others
- Heal from early traumas or disruptions in attachment
- Strengthen self-esteem and a sense of security
At Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling, we tailor our therapeutic approaches to your child’s specific needs, being able to offer approaches such as play therapy, child counselling, and creative therapies which encourage younger children to express emotions and build healthy attachment styles.
Attachment Therapy in Newcastle
Our team of child psychologists, child counsellors and child psychotherapists also recognise the crucial role of parents and caregivers in fostering secure attachments and so are able to work with parents to support their child outside of sessions.
Our therapists can provide guidance, non-judgemental support, and strategies to help parents understand their child’s needs more effectively and encourage secure attachments at home or at school.
Family focused sessions and specific family therapy sessions are also available if there are challenges being faced by the family unit within the home to help you create a more comfortable family atmosphere.
