Many of the people I work with are capable, thoughtful, and exhausted from holding it together for a long time. They live with anxiety, grief, the long aftermath of trauma, or the quiet disconnection that comes from years of carrying more than felt sustainable. Couples come looking for somewhere to put down the weight of recurring conflict, distance, or ruptures that have not healed on their own. Many have already had therapy that did not quite reach them. They want a practitioner whose understanding of what they are carrying does not stop at the textbook.

My ideal clients are adults who have tried talking about it but still feel stuck. They come to me carrying childhood trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, burnout, or chronic stress — often having spent years in talk therapy without lasting change. Many are highly sensitive people who feel deeply and have never quite understood why life feels so heavy. Some are people pleasers who have spent a lifetime putting others first, struggling with boundaries, and losing themselves in the process. I work with them one on one, using Somatic Experiencing to gently help the body release what the mind has been unable to resolve.

I'm always grateful for the opportunity to provide support, as I'm aware of the bravery that therapy takes, being vulnerable in session is immense. All clinicians at the clinic I run aim to work in a non-directive, client-centred way, meaning the client sets their own treatment goals and we're just the support that holds difficult or overwhelming emotions where needed. This allows the client to drive their own therapy and shows them that they can create a better life. I am currently taking face-to-face clients with immediate availability.

I teach anger management - you will understand it, respect it, learn how to diffuse it and use it in healthy ways.
I listen without judgement, in complete confidence & safety. I particularly get the challenges that men face - at home, to succeed at work, to provide for and connect with the family, to balance work and play in a healthy way. More than 80% of my clients are men, many appointments though organised by their partners who want to help.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
