Lisa Willow
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider
I use the work of Melody Beattie and Codependent No More to support clients with healing Codependency. Trying to fix and change another person, rescuing them, enabling, and saccrificing our own self by focussing on another person in order to feel "ok" are some of the behaviours that we use when we are involved in Codependent relationships. Through education, self awareness, proccessing, and change, we can become free from these kinds of relationships.

Jue Wang
Counsellor/Therapist, MCP, RCC, CCC
A co-dependency relationship is toxic and prohibits growth for you and your partner(s). You can change your relationship by yourself or with your partner.

My approach to codependency counseling focuses on helping individuals recognize patterns of codependent behavior, establish healthy boundaries, and build self-esteem. I believe in empowering clients to foster independence and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Together, we work on strategies to break the cycle of codependency and embrace self-worth.

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.

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.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
But, if I don't then I'll be alone. They'll leave me. I'm not enough without....
Have you said these words or thought them? Or felt them? Or maybe you're unsure why you need others the way you do? Maybe you live in judgment of feeling this way? What is this survival mechanism doing in your pocket? Why won't it go away?
There are many things behind this and they can be explore and revealed with time and patience.

Pathway to Hope Counselling - Robyn Faulkner
Pre-Licensed Professional, RTC-c
Do you feel abused, trapped and fearful in your relationship(s)? Many people in co-dependent relationships feel this way and often give up their power to others. The thought of befriending yourself may make you feel fearful. We don't have to shame or blame ourselves for this condition. We simply need to recognize, own and embody our sense of self and power. This is healthy and the most loving thing you can do for yourself. I can support you in becoming more of yourself and releasing the feelings of guilt and shame.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we specialize in supporting individuals struggling with codependency issues. Codependency is a complex and challenging pattern of behavior that often involves placing excessive focus on others' needs while neglecting one's own emotional well-being and boundaries. Our therapeutic approach is designed to help individuals break free from codependent patterns, cultivate self-awareness, and foster healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Through a relational lens, we explore the underlying beliefs and behaviors that contribute to codependency, focusing on building self-esteem, assertiveness, and self-care practices. Our therapists create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to examine their relational dynamics, set boundaries, and develop a deeper understanding of their own needs and values.
Using somatic interventions, we help clients reconnect with their bodies and emotions, facilitating a deeper sense of self-awareness and grounding. By incorporating mindfulness techniques and body-centered practices, we support individuals in developing a greater sense of agency, presence, and resilience in their relationships.
Our goal is to empower individuals to cultivate healthy boundaries, enhance self-esteem, and nurture a balanced sense of self-reliance and interdependence. Through personalized therapeutic interventions and compassionate support, we guide clients on a transformative journey towards breaking free from codependency, fostering self-compassion, and reclaiming their autonomy and emotional well-being.
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we are dedicated to providing a supportive and empowering space where individuals can explore and heal from codependency, fostering growth, authenticity, and self-empowerment in their relationships and personal lives.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
I specialize in codependency in women. Codependency starts in childhood when you begin people pleasing to feel loved and accepted. You lose a sense of who you are, lack boundaries, and have a hard time being assertive. You may have anxiety/depression, low self worth and reach outside of yourself to fill that emptiness inside. I can help you manage your emotions instead of feeling overwhelmed by them and feel fulfilled and confident.
