Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
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.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons), B.Sc. (Psych)
Codependent patterns can emerge when one person becomes highly attuned to the other while losing connection with their own needs. I explore the relational roles and cycles that keep couples stuck, including demand–pursuer and enabler–entitled dynamics, helping each person understand their part in the pattern and create more flexible ways of relating.

James Darby
Registered Psychotherapist, Postgraduate Diploma Core Process Psychotherapy, DCHyp, ABSCH, MBA
Co-dependency often involves deeply ingrained patterns of self-sacrifice, emotional dependency, and a lack of personal boundaries, rooted in unresolved emotional wounds from childhood development and relational dynamics. I can help individuals to explore and understand these patterns by helping people to understand how unmet needs from the past can be unconsciously reenacted in their current adult relationships. The intention being that with such understanding the clients I work with can begin to move towards healthier, more boundaried, collaborative and interdependent relationships with their friends and loved ones.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
I help clients recognize patterns of self-neglect, over-functioning and emotional enmeshment that often stem from childhood trauma or unstable attachments. The focus is on building healthy boundaries, self-worth, and the ability to tolerate other's discomfort without rescuing or contolling. Therapy supports clients from shifting from people-pleasing to authentic, balanced relationshhips grounded in mutual respect and autonomy.

Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Codependency is not a personality flaw. It is often a survival pattern that develops when you've learned to prioritize keeping the peace, meeting others' needs, or earning love through what you do for others. While these patterns may have once helped you cope, they can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and unsure of what you truly need. Together, we'll work to rebuild your sense of identity, strengthen healthy boundaries, improve communication, and create relationships where you no longer have to abandon yourself to stay connected.

Bournemouth is a seaside town on the Dorset coast with a large student population drawn to Bournemouth University and Arts University Bournemouth, and its mental health landscape reflects a mix of student wellbeing needs, seasonal resort pressures, and the challenges of a community with areas of significant economic deprivation behind its tourist-facing image. NHS mental health services are provided through Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust, and a private therapy sector serves residents who prefer faster or more specialised care. The town's seasonal economy creates particular stressors for those in hospitality and tourism, and the contrast between high-season energy and winter quietude can amplify feelings of isolation and depression. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, student wellbeing, relationship difficulties, and the challenges of building a stable life in a town whose character shifts dramatically across the year.
