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.

Codependency often begins as care, loyalty, or sensitivity—but over time it can become self-abandonment. And when you abandon yourself, you don’t actually protect the relationship—you weaken it.
Oftentimes, many people find themselves over-functioning, people-pleasing, managing another’s emotions, or staying in relationships that require them to shrink their needs in order to keep connection. The result is often a combination of anxiety, resentment, exhaustion, and a loss of clarity about what they actually want.
In our work together, we aim to de-escalate these patterns and explore what they’ve been protecting: perhaps a fear of conflict, abandonment, guilt, or the belief that love must be earned through sacrifice. We build practical skills for boundaries, self-trust, and direct communication, so you can stay connected without losing yourself. The goal is not to become “less caring,” but to create relationships that include you—relationships where care and reciprocity can coexist.

Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Codependency can leave you feeling overly responsible for other people, disconnected from your own needs, and caught in patterns of over-giving, rescuing, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in relationships. Often, these patterns develop for understandable reasons and can stem from attachment wounds, fear of abandonment, or low self-worth. My approach focuses on understanding the deeper patterns underneath these dynamics so that you can develop healthier boundaries, stronger self-trust, and relationships that feel more mutual and secure.

Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
Codependency is fundamentally a nervous system pattern - a deep-rooted orientation toward others' emotional states that developed as a survival strategy and never got updated. Understanding this intellectually rarely shifts it. The work happens at the level of the body: learning to locate your own internal experience, to stay with it under relational pressure, and to build the felt sense of self that makes genuine boundaries possible.

If you are codependent, this can seep into every aspect of your life, not necessarily healthily. A codependent relationship can make you feel like you're giving everything of yourself, until there's nothing left to give. Many people don't realize they're in a codependent relationship cycle until the exhaustion and resentment issues become overwhelming and are too much to ignore. Even then, they may not recognize that codependency is the culprit. At its core, codependency means losing touch with your own needs while over-investing in the needs of others. Even if it feels familiar and comfortable, it's not a sustainable way to live.
