Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults who struggle with patterns often described as codependence, including over-responsibility for others, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of self that becomes organised around relationships. These patterns are usually adaptive responses developed over time, rather than personal failings.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to understand how these relational strategies developed and what they may be protecting. Sessions focus on increasing clarity about needs, limits, and patterns of attachment, allowing different ways of relating to emerge. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Dr Malgorzata Milewicz
Registered Psychotherapist, HCPC Registered; UKCP Registered
You may find that your sense of security depends heavily on what is happening in your relationship—how available the other person feels, whether something seems different, or whether you feel wanted and reassured. You may become preoccupied with the relationship or lose sight of your own needs within it. I work relationally to understand these patterns and help you develop greater security without giving up the closeness you want.

Registered Psychotherapist, BSc (hons), PGDip, SupervisionDip
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.

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.

Natalie Jane - Narcissistic Abuse & Relationship Recovery Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist
If you often put others' needs so far ahead of your own that you lose yourself, codependency may be part of the picture. I help clients notice the patterns, often rooted in early relationships, and practise caring for others without abandoning themselves.

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.

Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
Codependency is often the attempt to meet, through adult relationships, emotional needs that were not fully met in childhood. The goal is not to become independent from everyone, but to develop relationships based on mutual respect, healthy boundaries, and genuine connection rather than unmet childhood needs.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
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.

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.
