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
Effective Treatment
Dr Jenner has dealt with codependents for many years and he has found that combining two therapies, powerful individually but life-changing when used together, to be truly effective: Inner Child and Internal Family Systems therapy.
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.
