Working with parents in the perinatal period involves supporting them through a time of profound transformation. It can stir deep emotions, shift identity, and bring both joy and challenge. It also offers a unique opportunity for healing and for reshaping intergenerational patterns. It is within this space that a clear, attachment- and needs-based way of understanding both parents and infants can support meaningful and lasting change.

The New Beginnings Integrated Core Needs Framework is an attachment-informed approach that brings together key concepts from Circle of Security, schema therapy, and attachment theory through a shared focus on core emotional needs.

The New Beginnings Core Needs approach combines a clinical framework for perinatal clinicians with parent-facing resources and worksheets to support its application in-session and via telehealth.

This framework views mental health and wellbeing through the lens of attachment and unmet needs. Parents are supported to understand how they adapted when core needs went unmet in childhood, and the lessons they internalised in response to these experiences—such as “I can’t turn to others for comfort,” “I need to prioritise others’ needs,” or “I’m not good enough.”

These learned patterns (schemas) can keep people stuck in ways of coping that mean needs continue to go unmet. This can have a significant impact during the perinatal period, when emotional needs are often heightened.

The framework is designed to be flexible rather than prescriptive. It can be used as a standalone approach—supporting assessment, treatment planning, and intervention—or as an adjunct within a clinician’s existing way of working.
