Welcome to my counselling practice. I offer a supportive, empathic and friendly service to individuals, couples and families. Perhaps there are particular issues causing you distress, or maybe something more subtle, an inner feeling that all is not well. Our physical and psychological health can be compromised by traumatic situations such as bullying, abuse, bereavement and family disputes. We may develop ways of coping which also cause problems, for example self-harm and addictions. I provide a non-judgmental space for whatever you wish to explore and address including your relationships, anxiety, depression and emotional distress.

I know that it can be daunting reaching out for help and that many people never do reach out, perhaps because they are the strong ones who are supporting everyone else around them so their needs are at the bottom of the long list of things to do and people to look after. Please know that you are important too. If you're feeling troubled, I'm here to listen without judgement and I can help and support you to work towards feeling better. Remember there is always hope. I can be flexible with appointments and if you don't have time to come and see me in person and don't like the idea of zoom/facetime, we can do telephone sessions.

Life can feel hard sometimes. A crisis that throws everything we took for granted into the air, crashing us and our life into a million pieces. A gnawing sense that we are running from ourselves, our past, things that we are scared to face but we know are dictating our current life. A subtle but disquieting sense that life was supposed to be or feel different to this, that we are meant for more, but we don’t know what. A realisation that our mind is at constant war with us and the fear and lack of peace that goes along with that.

I work with those who feel like they put in so much more than anyone else, whether at home, with friends or at work; the dependable ones who’ve become so good at tending to others that they’ve lost touch with who they are.

You’ve explored BPD, C-PTSD and Depression and related to everything a little. Maybe you’ve been “holding it together” for so long, you barely notice the weight anymore. You care deeply and overthink everything. You find yourself stuck replaying patterns or caught in a loop of shame and self-doubt. Or maybe you have a difficult relationship with your feelings. You consider leaving before anyone else does. I work with people who are tired of just surviving. My approach is shaped by Interpersonal Neurobiology and Attachment theory and by the belief that your body remembers, you matter, and it’s okay to never get over some things.

Codependency Counsellors
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.
