Codependency
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.

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.

Kevin Martin
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.
