Codependency counselling & therapy in New Zealand
Codependency involves patterns in relationships where your sense of self may become strongly tied to others. You may find it difficult to set boundaries or prioritise your own needs.
This can lead to unbalanced relationships, emotional stress, or difficulty maintaining independence. Codependency often shows up in relationship patterns, and may be connected to relationship issues.
Counselling can help you understand these patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and develop healthier, more balanced relationships.
On this page, you’ll find counsellors and therapists in New Zealand who offer support for codependency and relationship patterns.

Christchurch

Kia ora, I’m Mari. I offer a trauma-informed, body-centred approach to therapy, drawing from Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and an understanding of the nervous system. I bring warmth, deep care, and integrity to this work, supporting people to come home to themselves through the wisdom of the mind–body connection.
This can support those navigating trauma, grief, anger, confusion, and fear. And those feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or longing for more ease and connection.

Are you stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or self-doubt, and unsure how to change them?
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or navigating relationship challenges, grief, or loss—perhaps even questioning if you have a narcissistic dynamic in your life. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel heard and safe. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening, help you regulate emotions, understand your needs, and reconnect with yourself—so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and trust.

Life can feel overwhelming when you are carrying anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or low self-worth. I provide counselling for adults seeking support with emotional overwhelm, burnout, family dynamics, and patterns that may be keeping them stuck. I work with both men and women, offering a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. I also offer a free 30-minute meet-and-greet so you see whether working together feels like the right fit for you

Are you ready to reclaim your relationship with food and your body?

In my counselling work, I prioritise you as the expert in your own life and learn about your current position in what you’re experiencing. In time, we can work together to build pathways toward a life that is empowering to you, your family, and your community. Using methods such as externalising problems, re-authoring your stories, and linking with your community are some of the ways we can do this together
