Psychological help for codependency

Codependency is when your inner state hangs on another person: their reply, mood, presence.

What is it?
Emotional dependence / codependency is building closeness through fusion, control, or rescuing. Your own needs move to the back.

Signs

  • Anxiety when there is no message
  • Losing interests outside the relationship
  • Excusing the partner
  • Hard to be alone
  • Feeling that without this person “I do not exist”

Causes

  • Insecure attachment
  • The “easy” role in the family
  • Fear of rejection
  • Little self-support
  • Relationships where love is mixed with anxiety

How therapy can help

We gather an “I” separate from “we”. You gain the right to want, to be angry, to leave, to stay — not only to hold the other.

Therapy methods

  • Gestalt contact with your own needs
  • Boundaries without cruelty
  • Work with fear of being alone
  • Leaving the rescuer role

Consultation format

Individual online therapy, 60 minutes. You do not have to bring a partner — change starts with you.

Pricing

Individual session — 60 minutes / 1900 UAH. Couples session — 80 minutes / 3300 UAH. Online.

Frequently asked questions

Is this love or dependence?

Love leaves room to be separate. Dependence demands constant proof that you will not be left.

Why do I choose unavailable people?

Familiar childhood tension often feels like chemistry. In therapy it becomes visible — and choice appears.

How do I stop texting first?

A willpower ban rarely lasts. The pause needs to be filled with you, not with emptiness.

Can I change my partner?

No. You can change your part in the dance. Sometimes the pair then changes — or it becomes clear the dance is over.
