Codependency is something that many people struggle with in relationships. This can promote feelings of helplessness and fear. It is possible to move from this place to inner strength and independence within a relationship which is great news for many!
Registered Psychotherapist, Rev, DD (hon), DMin, Various Dips & Certs.
I deal with Codependency especially to help sufferers to stop rescuing unnecessarily and to uncover Love Avoidant Addicts and Love Seeker Addicts to gain a healthier lifestyle and to enjoy fuller healthier relationships with others.
As a Psychotherapist, I've conducted research around codependency within relationships and have extensive experience working with individuals facing this challenging dynamic. Utilizing a Psychosynthesis framework, we explore the emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual aspects that contribute to codependent behaviors. This holistic approach provides a space for self-reflection and awareness, key steps in breaking the cycle of codependency. My aim is not only to help you recognize these patterns but to offer practical strategies to foster autonomy and emotional balance. The overarching goal is to help you build healthier, more fulfilling relationships while retaining your sense of self.
I specialise in working with clients with codependency issues. This is includes clients raised in narcissist or who found themselves in relationship with such induviduals and who are seeking strategies to manage or leave their relationships. Co-dependent relationship can be challenging and leaving you feeling devastated, lost, hopeless - i provide a space where you will be seen and heard, and support you to reclaim your autonomy and become more empowered.

Relationships are difficult. Sometimes our need for a relationship undermines our ability to function. This is made more complex when the significant other experiences a similar dysfunctional drive. The good news: this can be fixed. It is possible to have healthy, mutually respectful, and supportive relationships.
Do does the other person have to be ok for you to feel ok? You might find working with codependency helpful! Cycles of unhealthy relationships, love addiction, codependency, putting others first, having difficulty asserting boundaries, feeling unworthy of nourishing and healthy love relationships can lead us to therapy. While interdependence - working together and strong relationships are essential to a happy life, the dance of give-and-take can get confused and confusing.
We can work together to understand what healthy relationships look and feel like and to bring the relationships in your life into a nourishing balance. In this, we come to understand your attachment patterns, the role of trauma, learning your nervous system's responses to intimacy (physical and emotional). Working in tandem with a 12 step programme isn't for everyone, but can be a great help here if that appeals to you.
