Mandy Randall-Gavin MBACP, UKATA
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, Dip TA Prac: UKATA
If you are codependent, this can seep into every aspect of your life, not necessarily healthily. A codependent relationship can make you feel like you're giving everything of yourself, until there's nothing left to give. Many people don't realize they're in a codependent relationship cycle until the exhaustion and resentment issues become overwhelming and are too much to ignore. Even then, they may not recognize that codependency is the culprit. At its core, codependency means losing touch with your own needs while over-investing in the needs of others. Even if it feels familiar and comfortable, it's not a sustainable way to live.

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.

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.

Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
Every therapeutic problem will find an expression in the person's most significant relationship - that is, the relationship with the person's partner. Codependency is therefore an almost inevitable consequence of therapeutic problems in the individual. I will help you to resolve these problems by finding and resolving the causes of them in your past.

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.

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.

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.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Does the other person have to be ok for you to feel ok? You might find working with codependency helpful! Cycles of unhealthy relationships, love addiction, codependency, putting others first, "people pleasing", difficulty asserting boundaries, feeling unworthy of nourishing and healthy love relationships- all can lead us to therapy. While interdependence - working together and strong relationships are essential to a happy life, the dance of give-and-take can get confused and confusing. I can help you to work with existing relationships or even embark on dating in a new way, whether you're new to it or re-entering the process after a breakup, separation or divorce .
We can work together to understand what healthy relationships look and feel like- and to bring the relationships in your life into a nourishing balance. In this, we come to understand your attachment patterns, the role of trauma, learning your nervous system's responses to intimacy (physical and emotional). Working in tandem with a 12-step programme isn't for everyone, but can be a great help here if that appeals to you.

Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
Codependency is often the attempt to meet, through adult relationships, emotional needs that were not fully met in childhood. The goal is not to become independent from everyone, but to develop relationships based on mutual respect, healthy boundaries, and genuine connection rather than unmet childhood needs.

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.

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.

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.
