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.

Codependency is a sneaky thing. It feels normal, it feels like caring for others; it feels like loving someone really hard but the resentment, fatigue, and continual loop of closeness, and chaos is a block you can get past. I work to help you slow down and allow for other patterns to show up where you can look back say "I'm doing relationships differently now!".

Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
We are all a little on the Codependent scale, because we are all human. It is a part of the human experience to sometimes lose ourselves in another. We want the process of our individuation to be fluid, not stagnant, so we don't get stuck in a state where we are lost in another. In therapy, with a great deal of self-compassion, I work on helping the client bring awareness to the part of them that tends to lose themselves in relationships, giving up their needs to please others, struggling with who they are separate from another. The therapeutic process involves going to the root of what is causing the codependence, then through a combination of cognitive awareness and body work the client is able to slowly come home to themselves.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCC
If you often prioritize others at the expense of yourself, struggle with boundaries, or feel responsible for other people's emotions, we can explore the patterns underneath. Drawing from attachment and relational approaches, I can help you strengthen your sense of self, build healthier boundaries, and create more balanced relationships.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Codependency often develops as a survival strategy, a way of staying safe, keeping the peace, or holding everything together when things were unstable. The problem is it tends to come at the cost of yourself. I work with people to recognise the patterns, understand where they came from, and slowly build relationships, including the one with yourself, that don't require you to disappear to maintain them.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Codependency often develops as a survival strategy rooted in early relational experiences. Together, we explore patterns of over giving, people pleasing, and losing yourself in relationships through a trauma informed and nervous system aware lens. Using somatic work, parts work, and inner child healing, and compassion-focused approaches, we gently address the deeper roots beneath these patterns. The goal is to help you build self trust, self-confidence, healthy boundaries, and more.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When we keep trying to put other people's needs ahead of our own, we lose ourselves in terms of our self-care and our self-respect. Often families do this with the addicts they love - and it creates a lose-lose situation for everyone concerned,

Natalie V. Bochenska
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Do you find yourself putting others' needs before your own, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for other people's emotions? I help clients explore the attachment patterns and past experiences that contribute to people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and difficulties in relationships. Our work focuses on reconnecting with your needs, developing healthy boundaries, and building relationships where you can remain true to yourself.

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Codependent and people-pleasing patterns often begin as survival strategies — ways of staying safe or needed within a family system that didn't leave room for your own needs or boundaries. My work helps clients understand these patterns, learn to recognize and hold boundaries without guilt, and build relationships rooted in mutual care rather than self-sacrifice.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Codependency often begins as a necessary survival strategy in early childhood—a way of staying safe by becoming highly attuned to the needs of others. With over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate complex relationship patterns, I help you understand the 'parts' of yourself that feel responsible for everyone else's emotions.
Together, we move beyond just identifying these habits to healing the underlying wounds that make setting boundaries feel dangerous. By combining my extensive clinical background with a compassionate, relational lens, I help you shift from people-pleasing toward a grounded sense of self-worth and authentic connection with others.
