Codependency
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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you find yourself constantly prioritizing others at the expense of your own needs, struggling to say no, or feeling responsible for how everyone around you feels, you may be experiencing patterns of codependency. You might feel anxious when others are upset, overextend yourself to keep the peace, or tie your sense of worth to being needed.
At Selah Counselling, we approach codependency with compassion and clarity. These patterns often develop from early attachment experiences in which love felt conditional or in which safety required self-sacrifice. Together, we explore where these beliefs began and gently build new patterns rooted in healthy boundaries and secure identity. Our work focuses on strengthening self-awareness, learning to tolerate discomfort without rescuing, and developing mutually beneficial relationships rather than imbalanced ones. The goal is not to become hardened or detached, but to love others from a place of strength, steadiness, and self-respect.

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.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Codependency can trap you in cycles of unhealthy relationships, where you may prioritize others' needs over your own and struggle to set boundaries. In therapy, we’ll work to identify patterns of codependency, explore their roots, and develop healthier relational dynamics. I’ll guide you in building stronger self-esteem and teaching you how to balance care for yourself with care for others. With compassionate support, you can break free from these patterns and cultivate more authentic, fulfilling connections.
