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 place to inner strength and independence within a relationship which is great news for many!

Relationships are difficult. Sometimes our need for a relationship undermines our ability to function. This is made more complex when the significant other experiences a similar dysfunctional drive. The good news: this can be fixed. It is possible to have healthy, mutually respectful, and supportive relationships.

I deal with Codependency especially to help sufferers to stop rescuing unnecessarily and to uncover Love Avoidant Addicts and Love Seeker Addicts to gain a healthier lifestyle and to enjoy fuller healthier relationships with others.
Do 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, having difficulty asserting boundaries, feeling unworthy of nourishing and healthy love relationships 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.
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.

Co-dependency is when we lose sight of ourselves and get lost in someone else; when we have never learned how to notice and assert what we ourselves need in a particular relationship. Do you put the other first and increasingly hear a trapped voice in you whispering ´´What about me?´´ Let´s coax that part of you out, find out what you need to own as yours, what independence really can look like when it is allowed in.
Over the years, I’ve observed that many of us have aspects of codependency within us. Addressing our habitual focus on other people's needs and learning to be authentic again is incredibly rewarding. We often fear losing connection with others, but by embracing authenticity, we can balance our need for connection with our true selves.
Many of us have learned to prioritize attachment over authenticity out of necessity, leading to lives that feel less vibrant and exciting because they are driven by fear. Embracing authenticity doesn't mean becoming self-centered; rather, it allows us to set boundaries and limits without the inner stress or resentment that can arise from feeling obligated to fulfill others' needs without acknowledgment or reciprocity.
By learning to stop feeling responsible for others' emotions, we can feel safer and more relaxed around people, recognizing that this is a game we cannot win. This process helps you become grounded in yourself, present, and in touch with your adult self.

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.
This is a very interesting area as many of us depend on others, but when it becomes detrimental and we find ourselves in a relationship that is causing us much harm or worry, then it is useful to examine why we struggle to change something.
