Codependency Counselling:

Building Healthy Relationships and Boundaries

Codependency often develops when the desire to care for others becomes overwhelming, leading to unhealthy patterns in relationships. While it stems from a place of love or concern, it can result in losing sight of your own needs, boundaries, and well-being. Codependency counselling offers a compassionate space to explore these patterns, build healthier relationships, and regain balance in your life.

What Is Codependency?

Codependency refers to a relational pattern where one person prioritizes others’ needs above their own to the detriment of their emotional, mental, or physical health. It often involves:

  • Difficulty setting boundaries

  • Feeling responsible for others’ emotions or actions

  • Low self-esteem and seeking validation through others

  • Fear of conflict or abandonment

  • Struggles with independence and over-reliance on others

Codependency can impact romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships, or even professional connections.
