About Us

After many years of working as one-to-one psychotherapists we noticed quickly that the heart of people’s difficulties lies within their relationships. 

 

After presenting problems quieten and any addictions or coping strategies are addressed the core of people’s struggles all point directly towards how the flow of their relationships are going and to what degree they feel safe and connected within these.

 

After a long journey, spanning over two decades researching and training in systemic, group, family and eventually attachment informed couples work some very clear and effective ways of supporting people towards more secure attachments began to emerge.

 

“Experience connection” was born in a hope to provide this more widely to couples and groups.
