Relationship dynamics emerge through individual psychological structures, attachment patterns, and systemic contexts. Attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and systems theory all work together to examine both explicit communication patterns and implicit relational dynamics. This enables the analysis of both individual attachment strategies within relationship systems.
The use of assessment protocols enables an examination of relationship functioning through multiple theoretical orientations, analysing the interaction between individual attachment histories, current behavioural patterns, and systemic interactions. This incorporates both a developmental understanding of interpersonal regulation and co-created meaning systems, facilitating an understanding of both adaptive and maladaptive patterns within relationship structures.
Treatment strategies are enabled through careful attention to both verbal and non-verbal domains of relationship functioning, incorporating an understanding of co-regulation, interdependence, and attachment-based intervention. The process examines both conscious narrative structures and implicit behavioural patterns in order to develop enhanced relational capacities. I work to address both acute relationship dynamics and chronic patterns while maintaining sensitivity to individual developmental histories.
My approach significantly incorporates a contemporary understanding of gender dynamics, identity formation, intersectionality, and sociocultural contexts that influence relationship patterns.
