Dana Millar Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MaCP, CCC
You may be in a codependent relationship if you depend on your partner's approval for your sense of worth. Or you may find yourself in relationships where you are constantly trying to be a chameleon in order to prevent rejection or abandonment. These relationships can be very painful, but you feel stuck and desperate at the same time.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in helping you break free from codependent patterns through an integrative, client-centered approach. Using acceptance and commitment approaches, we clarify your personal values and healthy boundaries, while parts work uncovers and harmonizes the internal roles that fuel dependency. Mindfulness-based techniques build self-awareness and strengthen your capacity for emotional autonomy, and CBT provides practical tools to reshape unhelpful beliefs about worth and approval. By weaving in emotion-focused and spiritual/existential approaches, we address unmet emotional needs and deepen your connection to your authentic self—empowering you to cultivate balanced, fulfilling relationships.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
When your internal compass becomes entirely fixed on monitoring the emotional states and safety of others, navigating codependency requires a gentle, slow return to your own body. I provide an affirming, non-judgmental online space in Vancouver to help you explore the wise relational survival strategies that originally led you to deprioritize yourself. Together, we will slow down and listen to your somatic cues, allowing you to reclaim your right to take up space and express your true, authentic self.

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.

Have internalized negative beliefs.

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.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Codependency is a term given to the well meaning - and often essential - 'support' of those people who abuse and rely on the service of loved ones, friends and colleagues to maintain their abusive and addictive behaviour. Often if we are raised with an abusive person in our environment, we learn to excel at supporting those abusers and thus are prone to be attractive to yet more abuse. We can break this chain when we thoroughly explore, process and discuss these behaviours.

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?

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.

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.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
