Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
The way that I often work with clients in relation to codependency is by integrating a humanistic approach with the use of somatic approaches which focus on the body's role in storing and expressing trauma. These techniques help clients release trapped energy and build a sense of safety within their own bodies. Methods include:
- Body awareness exercises that help clients tune into physical sensations and identify areas of tension or discomfort.
- Breathwork and grounding techniques to regulate the nervous system and promote relaxation.
I work with codependent clients to help you recognise and change unhealthy relational patterns by:
- Exploring the origins of your codependent behaviours and the unmet needs driving them. We may use parts work if this feels helpful to you.
- Teaching assertiveness and communication skills to enable clients to express your needs and set healthy boundaries.
- Supporting clients in gradually shifting your focus from external validation to internal self-worth.
With integrating a Trauma-Informed Practice:
A trauma-informed approach ensures that therapy is sensitive to the impacts of trauma and prioritises the client's safety and empowerment. Key principles include:
- Recognizing the widespread impact of trauma and understanding its signs and symptoms.
- Avoiding re-traumatisation by being mindful of triggers and respecting the client's pace.
- Collaborating with clients to set goals and involve you actively in your healing process.
Working with codependent clients through an integrative humanistic and somatic trauma-informed approach offers a compassionate and effective pathway to healing. By addressing the deep-seated roots of codependency in trauma, therapists can help clients build healthier relationships, develop a stronger sense of self, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives.

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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who struggle with patterns often described as codependence, including over-responsibility for others, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of self that becomes organised around relationships. These patterns are usually adaptive responses developed over time, rather than personal failings.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to understand how these relational strategies developed and what they may be protecting. Sessions focus on increasing clarity about needs, limits, and patterns of attachment, allowing different ways of relating to emerge. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Codependance is basically a dependance (sometimes for reasons beyond one's control) on someone, often family member or members who is or are dysfunctional, leaving the co-dependant with a dminshed sense of self.

Julie Kuhn - Counsellor & Supervisor
Counsellor/Therapist, Therapeutic Arts Counsellor BACP (Accred)
Counselling can provide that space for you to be able to get to know who you are and what you need and want. Counselling can also be challenging as you Re-evaluate your thoughts feelings and opinions. Getting to know yourself can build resilience and assertiveness which are tools that can help you become more dependent and build self-esteem. Counselling can help you to respond and communicate as well as helping you to take back control of your life.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
Spiritually speaking, we're all dependent on each other for our natural needs and according to the cosmic laws. Down to earth speaking, most of us experience dependencies with others in our daily life as limiting to our personal freedom. I invite you to find out what freedom really is or means. This enables us to discern the difference between an unavoidable natural dependency and a personal dream or even power trip. Above all, we need to learn to see our own blind spots! Not those of the other, which is always the easier thing to do.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Codependency can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out and you cannot exist without the person, animal, or item you are bonded to. As your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore how codependency feels for you, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Codependency can leave you feeling overly responsible for other people, disconnected from your own needs, and caught in patterns of over-giving, rescuing, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in relationships. Often, these patterns develop for understandable reasons and can stem from attachment wounds, fear of abandonment, or low self-worth. My approach focuses on understanding the deeper patterns underneath these dynamics so that you can develop healthier boundaries, stronger self-trust, and relationships that feel more mutual and secure.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Codependency often begins as care, loyalty, or sensitivity—but over time it can become self-abandonment. And when you abandon yourself, you don’t actually protect the relationship—you weaken it.
Oftentimes, many people find themselves over-functioning, people-pleasing, managing another’s emotions, or staying in relationships that require them to shrink their needs in order to keep connection. The result is often a combination of anxiety, resentment, exhaustion, and a loss of clarity about what they actually want.
In our work together, we aim to de-escalate these patterns and explore what they’ve been protecting: perhaps a fear of conflict, abandonment, guilt, or the belief that love must be earned through sacrifice. We build practical skills for boundaries, self-trust, and direct communication, so you can stay connected without losing yourself. The goal is not to become “less caring,” but to create relationships that include you—relationships where care and reciprocity can coexist.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Many women who struggle with codependent patterns are not weak or “too needy”. Often, they became highly skilled at adapting to others very early in life.
Learning to monitor moods.
Anticipate needs.
Avoid conflict.
Keep relationships emotionally stable.
For many Italian women living abroad, these patterns can become even more complex.
Living between cultures, languages and expectations often requires continuous adaptation. Over time, some women become so focused on reading others and maintaining belonging that they slowly lose connection with their own rhythm, needs and emotional boundaries.
Many women I work with appear highly capable and caring on the outside, while internally feeling emotionally exhausted, over-responsible or unable to fully relax in relationships.
My work explores the deeper nervous system patterns underneath people pleasing, emotional over-functioning and chronic self-abandonment.
I offer a warm, reflective and holistic space where women can begin reconnecting with their own voice, emotional safety and sense of self without constantly needing to adapt in order to feel loved, accepted or enough.
My approach integrates psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, embodiment, nervous-system-informed approaches, nature-based practices and reflective dialogue.

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.

Ashley Horsley
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MA, Post MA Dip, BACP Accred
Co-dependency is when we lose sight of ourselves and get lost in someone else; when we have never learned how to notice and assert what we ourselves need in a particular relationship. Do you put the other first and increasingly hear a trapped voice in you whispering ´´What about me?´´ Let´s coax that part of you out, find out what you need to own as yours, what independence really can look like when it is allowed in.

Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
Codependency is fundamentally a nervous system pattern - a deep-rooted orientation toward others' emotional states that developed as a survival strategy and never got updated. Understanding this intellectually rarely shifts it. The work happens at the level of the body: learning to locate your own internal experience, to stay with it under relational pressure, and to build the felt sense of self that makes genuine boundaries possible.
