I help individuals who are struggling with co-dependency issues, such as those who were raised in a relationship with narcissistic parents and/or siblings. This can be challenging and leave them feeling hopeless and lost. I can help them reclaim their autonomy and develop strategies to manage their relationships.
Registered Psychotherapist, Postgraduate Diploma Core Process Psychotherapy, DCHyp, ABSCH, MBA
Co-dependency often involves deeply ingrained patterns of self-sacrifice, emotional dependency, and a lack of personal boundaries, rooted in unresolved emotional wounds from childhood development and relational dynamics. I can help individuals to explore and understand these patterns by helping people to understand how unmet needs from the past can be unconsciously reenacted in their current adult relationships. The intention being that with such understanding the clients I work with can begin to move towards healthier, more boundaried, collaborative and interdependent relationships with their friends and loved ones.
I have a particular interest in supporting people with breaking free from codependent patterns of relating and learning to prioritise their own needs first , working towards understanding the origins of these patterns and coping skills in order to move forward. We may work specifically around the need for implementing boundaries and self care.
