Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Interpersonal relationships are a fundamental aspect of the human experience. However, it is not uncommon for one to find themselves in a pattern of unhelpful relationship dynamics with their family member, significant other, colleague, etc. I have experience providing psychotherapy to individuals who describe challenges with assertive communication, boundary setting, attuning to and meeting their personal needs (emotional, interpersonal, psychological, physical, social, existential), and other behaviors, beliefs, skills, essential in forging healthy interdependent relationships.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Codependency reveals a complex dance of enmeshment and emotional dependency rooted in early relational patterns. Shaped by experiences of attachment insecurity and past traumas, individuals navigate relationships characterized by excessive care taking, people-pleasing, and a blurred sense of self. Like tendrils reaching from the past, these patterns perpetuate cycles of dysfunction and reinforce feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. Therapy offers a transformative space for unraveling these intricate dynamics, fostering awareness of unhealthy relational patterns and reclaiming autonomy and self-worth. Through healing attachment wounds and addressing underlying trauma, individuals can cultivate healthier boundaries and authentic connections, breaking free from the chains of codependency and rediscovering the power of their own agency and identity.
