Are You Losing Yourself
In Relationships?
We help you build healthier connections without sacrificing who you are.
When Your Needs Come Last
Codependency can feel like constantly putting others first—often at the expense of your own needs, boundaries, and wellbeing. You might find yourself over-giving, struggling to say no, or feeling responsible for how others think and feel.
At times, it may feel like your sense of worth depends on being needed or keeping others happy. This can leave you feeling drained, unappreciated, or even resentful—yet unsure how to change the pattern.
You’re not alone in this—and it’s something that can be understood and reshaped.
What Becomes Possible With The Right Support?
Breaking free from codependent patterns doesn’t mean losing your care for others—it means creating balance, confidence, and healthier relationships.
Through our work together, you’ll begin to:
- Set clear, confident boundaries without guilt
- Prioritise your own needs while still caring for others
- Feel more secure and self-assured in relationships
- Let go of the need to control or “fix” everything
- Build a stronger sense of identity and independence
- Experience relationships that feel supportive—not draining
Rebuilding a Stronger Sense of Self
Codependency often develops over time—through past experiences, learned behaviours, or relationships where your needs weren’t fully met.

Frequent Asked Questions
Personalised one-on-one virtual sessions to help you manage anxiety, depression, stress, or life transitions in a safe, judgment-free space.
What types of therapy do you offer?
At the core of our practice is the fact that we provide a bespoke custom-built solution to whatever challenges you are facing. The type of problem, how long you've been affected and your personality profile will all be considered when building your action plan. No two people are alike, so no two people can be helped with one ‘ solution to solve all problems’ approach. I conduct a one-to-one initial discussion with you to make sure we address the cause of your challenged not just put a sticking plaster over the obvious visible or not so visible problem.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes, absolutely. All therapy sessions are 100% confidential. Your privacy is a top priority, and nothing discussed in your session will be shared without your written consent, except in rare cases where there is a legal obligation to ensure your safety or the safety of others.
Do I need a referral to book a session?
No referral is needed. Getting a referral can take months and sometimes years before getting the help you need. It's hard enough for you to reach out. You can book a session directly without going through a doctor or any other professional. Just choose a time that works for you and get started, it's that simple.
What if I’m not sure I need therapy?
That’s completely okay. Many people feel uncertain at first. If you're experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood, or just feel stuck, talking to a therapist can help you gain clarity. Even one session can provide valuable insight and support, you don’t need to have everything figured out before starting.
Do you work Online?
Yes. Secure video and in‑person in the Greater Manchester Area.
Are you strictly 12‑Step for addiction?
the 12 steps to addiction recovery are a well trodden path used by Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and more recently CODA the co-dependants anonymous organisation. It's effective in certain situations but sometimes we use other methods to achieve the progress more quickly or more effectively
How many sessions will I need?
Short‑term (6–12) for focused goals; longer‑term available for deeper work. We’ll review progress regularly.
Do you diagnose ADHD or Autism?
In many cases, you may already have been given a clinical analysis of your condition. If that's not the case and you just know “ something isn't right?” we can do a spectrum analysis and whist not a clinical analysis the psychological assessment often throws up a mixture of conditions which co-exist and I do find ‘labelling’ someone with a condition blinkers the less experienced therapist from looking at the bigger picture and addressing all the things that are contributing to your unhappiness.
