Codependency Counselling in Highgate Hill, QLD
You may find yourself stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling, or relating that repeat despite your efforts to change. Perhaps anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles feel overwhelming, or past experiences still shape how you see yourself and others. You want more than symptom relief—you want to understand yourself deeply, break free from old patterns, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Therapy offers a space to explore these challenges with curiosity and compassion, allowing for lasting emotional growth.

I am a psychotherapist working with the Gestalt approach. I provide trauma-informed and body-positive therapy to preteens, teens and adults. My priority in working together is to co-create a safe and supportive space in which you are seen and deeply listened to, and to offer therapy that is relational, creative and present-focused. I also bring in embodied recovery (somatic) techniques which I find can be very helpful for building resilience and resetting the nervous system.

While I regularly support people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and general life stress, many benefit from my additional expertise with trauma (complex, traumatic events, neglect, and abuse), codependency and boundaries, disordered eating and body image concerns, body symptoms lacking a medical explanation, and OCD.
You may like therapy with me if you're curious, creative, deeply attuned to others, but not the best at establishing your own needs. You might find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, and wanting to feel more present. You may struggle with shame, boundaries, or building safe and reciprocal relationships. Maybe you've tried traditional talk therapy in the past but felt that something was missing. Somatic therapy might be just what you need to work through pain from the past that still lives in your body. If you want genuine change and not just quick fixes, you're in the right place.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
