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, BA, MA, Post MA Dip, BPS Accred
Co-dependency is when we lose sight of ourselves and get lost in someone else; when we have never learned how to notice and assert what we ourselves need in a particular relationship. Do you put the other first and increasingly hear a trapped voice in you whispering ´´What about me?´´ Let´s coax that part of you out, find out what you need to own as yours, what independence really can look like when it is allowed in.
Your relationship constitutes a significant proportion of your life, and contributes immensely to well-being and happiness. Having a balanced relationship should be the goal, where you can give and take in equal measure. To be able to experience gratitude and the joy of helping someone you love. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.
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.
