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.

I help clients uncover the deeper patterns behind codependency, including people-pleasing, fear of rejection, over-giving, and difficulty setting boundaries. We work at the root to help you let go of old patterns, rebuild self-trust, and reconnect with your own power.

You don’t have to lose yourself to be loved.
If you find yourself overgiving in relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling anxious when you're not needed, you may be dealing with codependent patterns. These often come from early wounds and parts of us that equate love with self-sacrifice or people-pleasing. As someone who specializes in dating and relationships—and is currently writing a book on dating through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS)—I help you identify the parts of you that fear being alone, not enough, or too much. Together, we’ll untangle old patterns, heal the underlying wounds, and reconnect you with your True Self—so you can build relationships from a place of wholeness rather than need.

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.
