Codependency Counselling in Stoke-on-Trent
Hello to you and thank you for reading my profile. I want you to know that however you feel right now, you deserve to feel better. People I have helped tell me they feel anxious but they’re not sure why. They never feel good enough, often ‘wearing a mask’, and feel like they’re just don't 'fit in'. If you feel the same, I assure you, you are not going crazy. Maybe you’re just experiencing being neurodivergent in a world not made for you.
I'm really pleased you're here. I’m Natalie an Autistic, Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor with a passion for helping you heal from life's traumas and challenges.

You understand your patterns, so why are you still stuck?
You’ve done the thinking.
You can see where it comes from.
You might recognise the impact of past relationships or even childhood experiences.
You are self-aware but still feel stuck!
You might find yourself; replaying conversations, questioning your reactions, feeling emotionally pulled back into old dynamics, struggling to fully trust yourself
Because insight alone doesn’t create change.

Has life begun to feel like a constant cycle of getting through the day, only to wake up and do it all again?
Does your mind feel stuck on repeat, replaying conversations, worrying about what comes next, or struggling to switch off even when you are exhausted? Has work started to feel like a prison of stress and anxiety, while people and social situations leave you irritated, drained, or wanting to be left alone?
Over time, this can begin to affect relationships, confidence, boundaries, and how you feel about yourself.

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.
