Supporting an understanding of codependency, its impacts and support for recovery. Especially, in instances of intimate partner and mother - daughter codependency.
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.

Long term relationships can be challenging, and being released from the grips of toxic codependency can feel impossible at times. However, with commitment and care it is absolutely possible to find healthy, empowering ways of relating. Together, we will explore your relational experience in a way that is body focussed, and 'inside-out' meaning that what is most vital is connecting with your deepest self-expression. From there, we can see how that may be in conflict with the current agreements or structures of your codependent relationship, giving you opportunity to makes wholesome changes.
Codependent people can struggle with boundary setting, low self-esteem, abandonment issues, an excessive need to help others and a difficulty in asserting their own emotional needs. Research shows talk therapy can be effective in improving the quality of one's life and learning how to stop being codependent. We assist individuals to form healthy attachments and relationships.
