Codependency
Samantha Coleman
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.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Codependency can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out and you cannot exist without the person, animal, or item you are bonded to. As your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore how codependency feels for you, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Codependency
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.
