Attachment-based therapy
Maybe you notice the same relationship pattern repeating — pulling away when things get close, or feeling anxious when someone goes quiet. Maybe you want to understand why closeness sometimes feels so hard, or why you find it difficult to trust that people will stay. These patterns often make a lot of sense once you understand where they came from.
How Sage works with this
Attachment-based therapy looks at how your early relationships and experiences may have shaped the way you connect with others now — the things that feel automatic, like pulling away, needing reassurance, or struggling to ask for help. Understanding these patterns can support steadier, more secure relationships going forward.
Attachment-informed parenting
For parents, this same attachment lens can be useful in understanding your relationship with your own child — noticing how your own upbringing may shape your instincts as a parent, and finding ways to build a steady, secure connection with your child. This isn't a branded parenting program; it's plain, relationship-focused work drawing on attachment principles, tailored to your family.
What therapy for this looks like
Sessions typically involve exploring your relationship history, noticing patterns as they show up in daily life, and — since the therapy relationship itself is a relationship — sometimes working with what comes up between you and Sage as a way of understanding your patterns more directly.
Common questions
What if I don't know my attachment style?
That's completely fine — you don't need to arrive with a label. Understanding your patterns is something you can work through together in therapy.
Is this only relevant to romantic relationships?
No. Attachment patterns can show up in friendships, family relationships, parenting, and work relationships too.
Can attachment patterns actually change?
Many people find that understanding their patterns, and practising new ways of relating in a safe therapeutic relationship, can support meaningful change over time — though everyone's experience is different.
