You may be feeling overwhelmed, low, anxious, or emotionally stuck, even if on the outside you appear to be coping. You might be struggling with motivation, feeling disconnected from yourself, or unsure why things feel so heavy. Perhaps past experiences or trauma are affecting how you feel now, or you’re navigating relationship difficulties or the emotional impact of health-related challenges. You may be looking for understanding, clarity, and a way forward that feels manageable and meaningful.

I work with adults, children and young people on many different issues. Depression, Anxiety, trauma, self harm, suicidal thoughts, self esteem, assertiveness and many other life issues. I became a Counsellor because I know how difficult life can be and I wanted to be able to help people who struggle with their mental health or are struggling with different problems in life.

Working in creative or high-pressure environments can be both rewarding and demanding. The drive to achieve, constant self-criticism and pressure to keep everything together can easily take their toll. Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over 18 years teaching and running a dance school, balancing classes, performances and the realities of managing a business. I understand first-hand how easily passion and commitment can turn into stress, self-doubt or burnout.

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.
