Qualifications from The Bowlby Centre, Westminster Pastoral Foundation, Tavistock Relationships, and Relate. Her clinical work has been in voluntary settings, in the NHS, and in private practice in London where she now works online with couples. Her published works include over twenty academic articles and two books all of which use attachment theory to understand relationships and clinical experience. Her book Contented Couples: Magic, Logic or Luck? is based on interviews with eighteen long-term couples from very different traditions, including arranged marriage. It explains couple dynamics in an accessible way and describes how partners’ complementary attachment patterns can work well together. Anne posts on Instagram [@and_attachment] with content for people who want to understand attachment in their relationships. Her TEDx talk “Attachment theory is the science of love”, also addresses this theme and has been watched by over 500,000 people.
