Kristen Bayliss
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, BSc, MA
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.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
If you find yourself constantly putting others’ needs before your own, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for the happiness of those around you, you might be experiencing the effects of codependency. It can be exhausting and confusing to give so much of yourself without receiving the same in return, and it often leaves you feeling unfulfilled and disconnected from your own needs.
Therapy can help you understand the roots of codependency, develop healthier boundaries, and build stronger, more balanced relationships. Together, we’ll explore your past experiences, identify patterns, and work on strategies that empower you to reconnect with your true self and create relationships that are mutually supportive and respectful.
You deserve to feel seen, valued, and free to be yourself. Let’s work together to break the cycle and create the healthy, fulfilling life and relationships you deserve.

Andrew Robertson
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy, Advanced Clinical Skills in Gestalt Psychotherapy
Codependency is at the root of a great deal of human misery and most, perhaps all, addictions. While the word may be bandied about quite casually, it is quite literally a killer. I draw heavily on the work of Pia Mellody in my approach to codependency, and take particular satisfaction witnessing clients loosen its shackles on their lives.

I work with you to identify challenges and patterns that no longer serve you and support you with tools to build the skills needed to recognise feelings and state boundaries authentically and firmly, whilst maintaining compassion, even in the face of complex situations where you may face resistance. Please see the type of therapy I provide to see how I can help you.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset

Co-dependency can feel like a warm, familiar blanket. It's easy to wrap yourself in the excuse of "I'm doing this for them" or "They need me." But beneath this cosy exterior lies a trap that keeps you from facing your own fears and reaching your full potential.
Here's what codependency often looks like:
Putting others' needs before your own, always
Feeling responsible for someone else's happiness or well-being
Difficulty making decisions without validation from others
Fear of abandonment or being alone
Ignoring your own desires and dreams
While it might seem safer to stay in this pattern, codependency can:
Stifle your personal growth
Lead to resentment and unfulfillment
Keep you from pursuing your own goals and passions
Damage your self-esteem and sense of identity
Breaking free from codependency requires courage, but it's a journey worth taking. Together, we can:
Explore the root causes of your codependent behaviors
Identify your own needs and desires
Develop healthy boundaries in relationships
Build self-confidence and independence
Face the fears that keep you stuck
Don't let co-dependency hold you back from flourishing. It's time to step out of your comfort zone and into a life that truly fulfils you. Contact me, and let's work together to unlock your potential and create healthier, more balanced relationships.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, ACA Level 2,
Integrative Attachment Therapy (IATI helps you understand how and why codependency arises in your relationships. It then helps you develop a deep internal sense of security and safety in relationship so you can relate from an entirely new place of grounded autonomy.
Our earliest years are fundamental in shaping how we experience relationships, perceive the world, and organise our mind. If you feel like repeating patterns play out in your relationships - perhaps anxiety, avoidance, feeling overly responsible or withdrawal - then Integrative Attachment Therapy can help.
IAT is a state-of-the-art-and-science approach that uses a guided visualisation to create a new internal working model for attachment and relationships. It was initially developed by psychologists at Harvard Medical School. Find out more here at www.iat-institute.com/

Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
This is a very interesting area as many of us depend on others, but when it becomes detrimental and we find ourselves in a relationship that is causing us much harm or worry, then it is useful to examine why we struggle to change something.

Katie Feder
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Hons Psychology
Co-dependency can leave you feeling stuck—constantly prioritizing others' needs over your own, seeking validation, and struggling to set boundaries. When you've been in a toxic relationship, it can feel like your sense of self has been lost in the experience of the other person. But healing is possible.
My approach helps you understand and untangle the deep patterns of co-dependency, so you can see how they’ve shaped your relationships and reclaim your own thoughts, feelings, and desires. We’ll work together to heal the emotional wounds that keep you stuck, restoring your sense of self-worth and inner stability. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to move forward with clarity and healthy boundaries, so you can build relationships that feel balanced, supportive, and aligned with who you truly are.
You don’t have to stay trapped in these patterns. With the right support, you can break free, rediscover yourself, and step into a life where your needs matter, too.
