Yes, I think he should. But that doesn't necessarily mean that all therapists will. I could be way off base, but given that he referenced attachment, I thought it might fit.
Perhaps you should have a discussion with him about his long-term plans? Keep in mind that you needn't stay with this therapist if you aren't comfortable with his approach. Test the waters, interview other therapists as well, if it makes you feel more comfortable. You are going to be doing the most important work of your life, so it needs to be a good fit.
Merry Christmas!
