Provides services that are based on attachment and promote relational resilience.
We offer assessments, training, supervision, professional development and consultation that can be used in the areas of family and children's services, permanency/out-of-home care, youth services, early childhood, and education.
We support parents, carers and staff who work with developmental risk, vulnerability and neurodevelopmental challenges.
Working in partnership with Middlesex University and the UK Centre for Abuse and Trauma Studies, we hold the Australasian licence to train practitioners in administering the Attachment Style Interview (ASI).
The ASI is a validated, evidence based assessment that highlights areas of resilience and risk and enables practitioners to identify an individualised strategy that scaffolds vulnerable families. For organisations that do not have their own ASI trained practitioners, we can support your practice by carrying out ASI assessments of adults and adolescents.

The Attachment Lens

The capacity to form stable and secure relationships is one of the most significant protective factors for individuals who have experienced childhood adversity.
Understanding an individual's attachment style enables practitioners to recognise and promote resilience across the lifespan.
The stories that we tell ourselves about our own worth and the worth of others (our internal working models) impact on all of our relationships. These stories are formed in our early years as a result of the primary caregiver relationship.
