Codependency is something that many people struggle with in relationships. This can promote feelings of helplessness and fear. It is possible to move from this experience to one of inner strength and independence within a relationship and I am able to support you in your journey towards this.

Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Codependency in a Relationship (often mistyped as "codepemency nlurb") is a dynamic in which one person relies excessively on another for approval, identity, and self-worth—often prioritising their partner's needs, emotions, and problems over their own to a harmful degree.
Key Characteristics
Enmeshment & Poor Boundaries: Difficulty recognising where your emotions end and your partner's begin, leading to an inability to say "no."
Caretaking & Control: A compulsive need to fix, rescue, or control the partner's behaviour, often under the guise of helping.
Low Self-Esteem & Fear of Abandonment: Seeking constant validation from the partner while harbouring a deep fear of rejection or being left alone.
Self-Neglect: Suppressing personal desires, goals, and values to maintain peace or keep the relationship intact.
Breaking the Cycle
Develop Self-Awareness: Identify times when you sacrifice your well-being to manage your partner's state or behaviour.
Establish Clear Boundaries: Practice saying "no" to unreasonable demands and communicate personal limits clearly.
Reclaim Autonomy: Make time for individual hobbies, friendships, and goals outside the relationship.

Karine Flynn
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.

Neil Coburn Relationship Therapy and Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, BA (Hons), MA (Tavi Rels), MBACP (Accred)
I often work with couples or individuals on challenges they describe as co-dependent (even though I have mixed feelings about this phrase itself). Dependency is a reality of any relationship, but can be imbalanced or seen as threatening or destructive. Dependency in a relationship should also allow space, and an opportunity to grow with each other, from one other. I try to help people to change these patterns and become more at ease with their need for others in their lives.

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.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Many women who struggle with codependent patterns are not weak or “too needy”. Often, they became highly skilled at adapting to others very early in life.
Learning to monitor moods.
Anticipate needs.
Avoid conflict.
Keep relationships emotionally stable.
For many Italian women living abroad, these patterns can become even more complex.
Living between cultures, languages and expectations often requires continuous adaptation. Over time, some women become so focused on reading others and maintaining belonging that they slowly lose connection with their own rhythm, needs and emotional boundaries.
Many women I work with appear highly capable and caring on the outside, while internally feeling emotionally exhausted, over-responsible or unable to fully relax in relationships.
My work explores the deeper nervous system patterns underneath people pleasing, emotional over-functioning and chronic self-abandonment.
I offer a warm, reflective and holistic space where women can begin reconnecting with their own voice, emotional safety and sense of self without constantly needing to adapt in order to feel loved, accepted or enough.
My approach integrates psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, embodiment, nervous-system-informed approaches, nature-based practices and reflective dialogue.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Does the other person have to be ok for you to feel ok? You might find working with codependency helpful! Cycles of unhealthy relationships, love addiction, codependency, putting others first, "people pleasing", difficulty asserting boundaries, feeling unworthy of nourishing and healthy love relationships- all can lead us to therapy. While interdependence - working together and strong relationships are essential to a happy life, the dance of give-and-take can get confused and confusing. I can help you to work with existing relationships or even embark on dating in a new way, whether you're new to it or re-entering the process after a breakup, separation or divorce .
We can work together to understand what healthy relationships look and feel like- and to bring the relationships in your life into a nourishing balance. In this, we come to understand your attachment patterns, the role of trauma, learning your nervous system's responses to intimacy (physical and emotional). Working in tandem with a 12-step programme isn't for everyone, but can be a great help here if that appeals to you.
