Therapeutic approach
Transforming suffering through healing emotional experience.
AEDP is a cutting-edge, attachment-based therapy that harnesses the body's natural capacity for healing. It works with moment-to-moment emotional experience to create deep, lasting transformation.
Developed by Dr Diana Fosha, AEDP is grounded in attachment theory, affective neuroscience, and the biology of healing. It works on the premise that human beings are wired for healing — and that the right relational conditions unlock this natural capacity.
AEDP works with the moment-to-moment flow of emotional experience — tracking what is happening in your body, your feelings, and your relational patterns in real time. The therapist actively creates a safe, warm, and attuned relationship that itself becomes a vehicle for healing.
AEDP is particularly effective for attachment trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and people who have felt that therapy 'hasn't quite worked' before. It often produces change that feels deep and genuinely transformative.
Sessions are warm, attuned, and experiential. Your therapist will gently invite you to slow down and notice what is happening inside — in your body, your emotions, and the therapeutic relationship itself. Positive experiences are deepened and affirmed, not just difficult ones processed.
