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.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
I help clients recognize patterns of self-neglect, over-functioning and emotional enmeshment that often stem from childhood trauma or unstable attachments. The focus is on building healthy boundaries, self-worth, and the ability to tolerate other's discomfort without rescuing or contolling. Therapy supports clients from shifting from people-pleasing to authentic, balanced relationshhips grounded in mutual respect and autonomy.

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.

Neil Coburn Relationship Therapy and Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, BA (Hons), MA (Tavi Rels), MBACP (Accred)
I often work with couples or individuals on challenges they describe as co-dependent. Dependency is a reality of any relationship, but can be imbalanced or seen as destructive or threatening. I try to help people to change these patterns and become more at ease with their need for others in their lives.

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.
