Codependency
Saffron Marriner
Counselor/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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
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.

Kevin Martin
Counselor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Codependency in a Relationship (often mistyped as "codepemency nlurb") is a dynamic in which one person relies excessively on another for approval, identity, and self-worth—often prioritising their partner's needs, emotions, and problems over their own to a harmful degree.
Key Characteristics
Enmeshment & Poor Boundaries: Difficulty recognising where your emotions end and your partner's begin, leading to an inability to say "no."
Caretaking & Control: A compulsive need to fix, rescue, or control the partner's behaviour, often under the guise of helping.
Low Self-Esteem & Fear of Abandonment: Seeking constant validation from the partner while harbouring a deep fear of rejection or being left alone.
Self-Neglect: Suppressing personal desires, goals, and values to maintain peace or keep the relationship intact.
Breaking the Cycle
Develop Self-Awareness: Identify times when you sacrifice your well-being to manage your partner's state or behaviour.
Establish Clear Boundaries: Practice saying "no" to unreasonable demands and communicate personal limits clearly.
Reclaim Autonomy: Make time for individual hobbies, friendships, and goals outside the relationship.
