Codependency
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.

Counsellor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
Co-dependency is an expression of the False Self developed in a narcissistic &/or alcoholic home. It's the compulsion to find one's identity through the eyes of other people, instead of from inside oneself. (Blog : 2017)

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.

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.

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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you find yourself constantly prioritizing others at the expense of your own needs, struggling to say no, or feeling responsible for how everyone around you feels, you may be experiencing patterns of codependency. You might feel anxious when others are upset, overextend yourself to keep the peace, or tie your sense of worth to being needed.
At Selah Counselling, we approach codependency with compassion and clarity. These patterns often develop from early attachment experiences in which love felt conditional or in which safety required self-sacrifice. Together, we explore where these beliefs began and gently build new patterns rooted in healthy boundaries and secure identity. Our work focuses on strengthening self-awareness, learning to tolerate discomfort without rescuing, and developing mutually beneficial relationships rather than imbalanced ones. The goal is not to become hardened or detached, but to love others from a place of strength, steadiness, and self-respect.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Caregivers often put others’ needs above their own, suppressing emotions and taking on excessive responsibility. This pattern can lead to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and physical health challenges. I help clients to notice this pattern, access support, and cultivate self-compassion to create a healthier balance between caring for others and caring for themselves.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
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.

Inspiring Change Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
When your sense of worth becomes tied to managing, fixing, or holding space for everyone else, it's easy to lose track of your own needs entirely. Codependency often develops quietly over time, and many people don't recognize it until they're exhausted, resentful, or feeling invisible in their own relationships. Therapy can help you reconnect with your own identity, build healthier boundaries, and learn what it feels like to be in relationships that are mutual rather than one-sided.

I help clients struggling with codependency understand how early attachment experiences and relational patterns shape overgiving, people-pleasing, and boundary challenges. Using a trauma-informed, compassionate approach, we work to build self-awareness, emotional autonomy, and healthier, more balanced relationships. Therapy provides a safe space to break old patterns and reconnect with your authentic self.

Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Codependency is not a personality flaw. It is often a survival pattern that develops when you've learned to prioritize keeping the peace, meeting others' needs, or earning love through what you do for others. While these patterns may have once helped you cope, they can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and unsure of what you truly need. Together, we'll work to rebuild your sense of identity, strengthen healthy boundaries, improve communication, and create relationships where you no longer have to abandon yourself to stay connected.

Rosemary Laurel
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Codependency. The need to make sure everyone around you is ok so that only then can you feel safe. Only then can you maybe relax. But really, you never truly feel like you can be yourself... You never quite feel like it's ok to let your guard down. You probably had someone in your life at some point who made your life miserable when they were upset, and you learned that the only way to protect yourself was to try to keep them happy. This is a tough one to unwind from, and I'd love to walk that path together with you.

Sagewood Counselling & Consultancy
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Co dependency is something many of us have learned or sustained in our closest relationships, and may be understood along a continuum. Many of us feel responsible to carry and / or manage the feelings and choices of others; our sense of self and purpose can be derived from taking care of others. This can lead to us carrying too much of an emotional burden and lead to burnout, frustration and relational distress, especially when others don't want to accept our 'help'. We may have perfectionist tendencies and be fearful of rejection, and have difficulty accepting help when we need it ourselves, and this can cause us to work overly hard and make it difficult to say 'no' and set healthy boundaries. As a result we often feel under appreciated, untrusting, overworked and exhausted. Maybe it's time we worked together to understand where or why we have these tendencies and learn to truly value our most authentic self, ,engage in self care and self love, identify and effectively communicate our needs and to become better at setting healthy boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish or fearing conflict or loss of relationships. Is this something that you struggle with?

Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RPq
Codependency often arises from an unhealthy reliance on others for self-worth, leading to imbalanced relationships and emotional distress.

Through a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness, I guide clients in setting healthy boundaries, reclaiming their sense of self, and fostering balanced, fulfilling relationships. My approach focuses on empowering individuals to build self-esteem, strengthen independence, and cultivate emotional well-being
