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.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
When your entire worth is tied to taking care of everyone else, it is easy to completely lose yourself. For driven, caring individuals, codependency often looks like over-functioning—being the reliable anchor, anticipating everyone else's needs, and keeping the peace at all costs. But privately, it leaves you feeling deeply alone, unseen, and carrying an overwhelming weight of resentment, self-doubt, and exhaustion.I provide specialized, compassionate counselling for individuals navigating codependency, chronic people-pleasing, and relationship strain. In our work together, we focus on helping you safely reclaim your boundaries and your sense of self. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle old patterns of seeking validation, address the loud inner critic, and build practical mindset tools rooted in genuine self-compassion. Because codependent patterns often stem from deeply buried, unspoken survival strategies that live in the nervous system, we also bring in neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. This allows us to look beneath the surface to locate, process, and release the stuck emotional stress and physical anxiety that arises when you try to say "no" or prioritize your own well-being.Whether you are navigating a divorce, healing from a relationship breakdown, or simply ready to stop going through the motions for everyone else, you don't have to do it alone. Together, we will help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build an intentional, aligned path forward. Alongside individual online therapy, I also offer immersive group therapy sessions designed to help you build deeper, healthier connections with yourself and a supportive community.

Cameron Wharram
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
You are enough. When you have become enmeshed with another person (partner, parent, child, or even friend) your mind learns that how they are feeling in this moment matters more than what's best for you. Let's work on changing that and accepting yourself.
