Life can present us with many challenges which may make us feel overwhelmed and controlled by unhelpful behaviours and thoughts and experiencing emotions that seem extreme. These can interfere with our day to day living, create problems in our relationships and may lead to have symptoms of anxiety or panic, make us lose interest in life or feel hopeless about the future and can affect our general well-being. I specialised in working with anxiety (including generalised anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic and post traumatic stress disorder), depression, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship problems.

I believe that we all have the capacity for growth and change given the right environment. Creating that environment starts with finding a therapist you can connect and feel safe with. As individual & unique beings it makes sense to me that there is no ‘one size fits all model’ when it comes to therapy. Naturally, different people need different things at different times. The wonderfully dynamic process of therapy is proven to work best when it is co-created (between therapist and client) in the presence of genuine warmth, open-mindedness, listening and acceptance. These qualities are always at the heart of my work.

You might be looking for therapy because you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck and repeating old patterns of behaviour, or maybe you simply need some space to work out what it is you are feeling. Whatever the catalyst has been, therapy can help you unpack the issues you are experiencing in a supportive and non-judgemental space. I approach all client work with empathy; this means I will seek to understand you and your experiences without judgement. I find compassion and curiosity to also be key tools, but primarily I seek to establish trust with my clients.

Perhaps your upbringing was marked by hostility, abuse or you felt unseen & unheard by emotionally distant parents. Whether your struggles stem from short-term or prolonged trauma, navigating its impact on your daily life leaves you feeling adrift, unsure how to separate the past from the present.

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.
