Codependency
Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons)
Codependent patterns can emerge when one person becomes highly attuned to the other while losing connection with their own needs. I explore the relational roles and cycles that keep couples stuck, including demand–pursuer and enabler–entitled dynamics, helping each person understand their part in the pattern and create more flexible ways of relating.

If you are codependent, this can seep into every aspect of your life, not necessarily healthily. A codependent relationship can make you feel like you're giving everything of yourself, until there's nothing left to give. Many people don't realize they're in a codependent relationship cycle until the exhaustion and resentment issues become overwhelming and are too much to ignore. Even then, they may not recognize that codependency is the culprit. At its core, codependency means losing touch with your own needs while over-investing in the needs of others. Even if it feels familiar and comfortable, it's not a sustainable way to live.

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.

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.

Swansea is Wales's second city and a coastal university town — home to Swansea University and University of Wales Trinity Saint David — generating significant student mental health demand and academic training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. The city has a distinct Welsh identity, and a meaningful number of residents prefer Welsh-language therapy, particularly for emotionally complex work best expressed in their first language. Swansea Bay University Health Board provides NHS mental health services, with a private practice community concentrated in Sketty, Uplands, and the Marina. Swansea's post-industrial character — shaped by the decline of its copper smelting and coal industries — means therapists frequently work with intergenerational economic stress and community resilience themes.
