Walk The Road To The New You
Welcome to Dr Nicholas Jenner’s online therapy hub dedicated to codependent recovery. Explore the wealth of resources available to start your path to recovery.
WHO IS IT FOR?
If you suffer from some or all of the following, you could be codependent: low self-esteem, people pleasing, poor boundary setting, caretaking, control issues, dysfunctional communication style, problems with intimacy, denial and painful emotions. Therapy can help people understand why they overcompensate, fulfill everyone’s needs but their own, or put themselves last.

THE THERAPY HUB
On-Demand Therapy
Join me for a 13-week audio codependency recovery program dedicated to addressing codependency issues, offering practical guidance and insights to enrich your journey towards well-being and recovery.
Group Therapy
As a codependent, it is easy to feel alone with the issues that keep you trapped in specific thinking patterns. Sometimes, it is good to share this with others in the same situation. Online group therapy can do this.
Individual Therapy
Codependency symptoms are as individual as you are and special solutions need to be found. Individual therapy is tailored made to your issues in an action based program. Free initial 60 minute consultation.

Anti-Codependency: How to Achieve Personal Autonomy
Anti-codependency is not about becoming self-centred. It is about returning to an adult stance in your own life. Autonomy means you can stay connected without disappearing into the other person.
Break Free from Dysfunctional Thinking Patterns Today
They “protect” us dysfunctionally to keep us from moving forward and offer us the easy way out. They offer us the easy way out and it seems often to be the best option at the time. Only through a process of releasing the control they have, can we promote the Self and have any hope of facing the true issues. Let’s look at the different types that could exist, no way exhaustive and there could be others:
Breaking Free from Codependency: A Journey to Self-Leadership
On the whole, I manage my codependency well now but occasionally it catches me out. I forgive myself for this and move on. I can move on because I have good awareness of when, how and why my codependency shows and as such, know what action to take. The action is to identify the parts of me that are present and what they are protecting me from.

Breaking Free from Codependency: Join My Free Live Q&A! Sunday 13th April 2025 12pm EST
In this live Q&A, I will be answering questions about all things codependency, relationships, and overcoming destructive habits. Whether you’re in the early stages of self-awareness or are actively pursuing healing, this session will be beneficial for you. Whether you’re struggling with a romantic relationship, family dynamics, or friendships, this is your space to ask, learn, and grow.
If You Are Codependent. Go on! Just Do It!
So you can perhaps understand why codependents especially, find change hard. They have no reason to change because change will, in their minds, confront them with their worst fears and for them even a bad relationship is better than none and the fear of being alone.
Understanding Codependency: Communication Challenges
What I am saying here is that communication in relationships is hard enough. We are all incompatible until we do the work to become as compatible as possible. This is not a natural process but if you add codependency into the mix, it suddenly becomes much more difficult. Especially, as stated earlier, with someone who is a natural dysfunctional fit.
Embrace Individuality: A Reflection on 2024; A Task for 2025
This is not a resolution post. I don’t believe in New Year resolutions but I do believe in reflection and lessons one can learn from it. I have always believed that change starts with self awareness and reflection, whether it’s in written or mental form. We can and should always learn from earlier experiences and indeed, mistakes. They give us the material to change the way we do things.

The Addiction Cycle: How Codependency Mirrors Substance Abuse
I would like first to discuss the term “love” in relation to codependency. Codependency is not love. It is an attachment based on control and insecurity. It is a behavioral and emotional issue borne out of a dysfunctional connection with caregivers.
