Attachment difficulties can be displayed in a variety of ways, including:
Attachment difficulties may be due to early trauma or loss which occur when there are separations and/or disruptions in early relationships, this can range from children being removed from parents to postnatal depression.
Children are not slates from which the past can be rubbed by a duster or sponge, but human beings who carry their previous experiences with them and whose behaviour in the present is profoundly affected by what has gone before.
Due to the fact that attachment difficulties share characteristics with other conditions or disorders, it is important to carry out a holistic assessment. When assessing attachment difficulties it is important to have information about an individual’s background. Attachment difficulties are assessed through a combination of structured assessments, observations, questionnaires and clinical interviews.
At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.
An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.
Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:
After an assessment for attachment difficulties, one of our psychologists will share the findings with the relevant people. A comprehensive report will be provided following the assessment. If an intervention or training on attachment is required then that can be arranged.
Our specialist psychologists offer a variety of interventions in relation to attachment difficulties. Examples of the interventions we offer include:
Attachment-based interventions and their structure will be explained prior to the intervention as a consistent approach is vital. We recommend that interventions start as soon as possible following the identification of attachment difficulties.
Attachment difficulties can impact all areas of a child or young person’s life and early needs identification and support can maximise an individual’s potential. Attachment difficulties are often caused following a disruptive or traumatic early childhood, and are most often present within children or young people who are looked after. An initial discussion can be booked for attachment difficulties by getting in contact with us and talking to a team member.
Arrange an Initial Discussion to find out how we can help. The initial discussion lasts 1-1.5 hours, comes with a written recommendation summary and is a starting point to identify needs. The cost is £260.
