Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Growing up in a home with an Alcoholic parent can be an unstable experience. You never know what to expect. If you have experienced chaos in your childhood, dealt with unpredictable mental state of your parent, and witnessed and responded to ongoing unsafe situations, then this will be familiar to you. In an unpredictable home, it can be difficult to trust yourself and your experiences. To survive, and avoid, sometimes you need to bottle up your feelings so much that you forget how to experience emotions. When your needs are ignored, seeking approval from others can result in losing your own identity. Feeling responsible for others can outweigh your own needs and wellbeing.
I have been providing counselling services in the community since 2014. I have supported many people who have a loved one struggling with addiction. I am excited to support you as you heal from some or all of the above experiences. Counselling can also help you set healthier boundaries in relationships and start putting your own needs and safety first.
Many adult children of alcoholics (ACOA):
Carry shame.
Remember how they hid their parent’s addiction.
Experienced an alcoholic parent’s behaviours and reactions.
Have experienced domestic abuse, violence, neglect, and unpredictable behaviours.
Experience worry and anxiety.
Avoid family/events.
Have internalized negative beliefs.
Have never experienced being fully cared for.
Feel a sense worthlessness and resentment.
Take care of an alcoholic parent, putting their own needs last.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Codependency often manifests physically before it appears in behaviour—through tension, activation, fawning, such as people-pleasing, or fear of loss. I assist clients in understanding these patterns, exploring their origins, and reclaiming a sense of internal safety and self-confidence outside of dependency. Together, we cultivate stronger boundaries, emotional stability, prioritizing the self, and in navigating healthier relationship dynamics

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
When we struggle with codependent patterns, it can be easy to lose sight of ourselves in relationships. You may find yourself looking to other people to decide whether you are doing okay, whether you are enough, or whether you deserve to feel good about yourself. As a result, your mood and sense of self-worth can become closely tied to the emotions, opinions, and behaviours of those around you.
In therapy, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, helping you develop a stronger sense of self and healthier boundaries.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
Codependency often develops when we've learned to suppress our own needs to survive in emotionally unsafe environments. Through this work, we reconnect you with your authentic voice and boundaries—not as concepts, but as felt experiences in your body and help you reclaim the parts of yourself that were deemed "too much" or "too needy." This is the journey back to yourself.

Let's touch base for a free consult and go from there.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
You don’t have to lose yourself to be loved.
If you find yourself overgiving in relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling anxious when you're not needed, you may be dealing with codependent patterns. These often come from early wounds and parts of us that equate love with self-sacrifice or people-pleasing. As someone who specializes in dating and relationships—and is currently writing a book on dating through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS)—I help you identify the parts of you that fear being alone, not enough, or too much. Together, we’ll untangle old patterns, heal the underlying wounds, and reconnect you with your True Self—so you can build relationships from a place of wholeness rather than need.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Codependency can come from non-secure attachment, a conflicted environment and from trauma when we are young. The central nervous system/brain can be re-set/balanced such that secure attachment is achieved and the emotional and chemical charges are deleted so healthy relationships are experienced.

Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
I specialize in codependency in women. Codependency starts in childhood when you begin people pleasing to feel loved and accepted. You lose a sense of who you are, lack boundaries, and have a hard time being assertive. You may have anxiety/depression, low self worth and reach outside of yourself to fill that emptiness inside. I can help you manage your emotions instead of feeling overwhelmed by them and feel fulfilled and confident. You may even be struggling with a break up, I can help you feel more whole again message me for a free 15 minute phone consultation.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Codependency often develops as a survival strategy, a way of staying safe, keeping the peace, or holding everything together when things were unstable. The problem is it tends to come at the cost of yourself. I work with people to recognise the patterns, understand where they came from, and slowly build relationships, including the one with yourself, that don't require you to disappear to maintain them.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Codependency is a complex behavioural condition that can deeply impact relationships. It often involves relying heavily on another person for emotional support, self-worth, and even a sense of identity. This can create an environment where one's own needs and well-being take a backseat to the feelings and needs of the other person, which can be exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling.
If you find yourself struggling with codependency, know that you are not alone. Many people face challenges in setting boundaries, expressing their own needs, or maintaining a sense of individuality. You might feel a strong urge to please others, grapple with low self-esteem, or experience anxiety when you’re apart from someone you care about.
It's important to recognize and address these feelings, as doing so can pave the way for healthier, more balanced relationships. Seeking support through therapy, engaging in self-reflection, and developing self-care practices can be transformative steps on your journey toward emotional independence and personal growth. Remember, breaking the cycle of codependency is not only possible, but it can also lead to more fulfilling connections with others. Your well-being matters, and taking these steps can help you build a more empowering and satisfying life.
