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.
FREE RESOURCES
Can you save your relationship by living apart? LAT relationships under scrutiny
In recent years, the concept of Living Apart Together (LAT) relationships, where romantic partners maintain separate residences, has gained traction among couples seeking to balance individuality with intimacy. This unique arrangement, while unconventional, opens up a rich debate about the dynamics of modern relationships, their benefits, and the challenges they face.
Food For Thought: Silent Treatment
At its core, the silent treatment functions as a silent scream for attention, ironically employed by some codependents themselves as a strategy to manage and control their relationships.
Group Therapy For Codependency Starting May 2024
Group therapy is often defined by stereotypes taken from television programmes, especially in the US, depicting recovering alcoholics starting the process by stating “My name is… I am an alcoholic”.
Journalling for Codependents
Codependents often find themselves trapped in toxic dynamics, unable to break free from the cycle of emotional dependence. These individuals are highly sensitive to the needs and emotions of others, yet often neglect their own well-being. Journaling offers a path toward self-awareness and self-care that can be transformative for codependents.
