REACH
REACH is a research group led by Professor Nickola Overall at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
Our research focuses on how emotional, attachment, and relational difficulties can be overcome to build healthier and happier relationships. We investigate how couples and families can effectively support each other and resolve conflict to enhance health and wellbeing.
We also examine how people’s relationship insecurities and negative beliefs influence the way they respond in relationships, and identify the factors that help to overcome the dysfunctional patterns that can arise from relationship insecurity.
