I work best with individuals who are motivated for change but feel stuck. Often presenting with anxiety, stress, burnout, or life transitions. They come feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Many are high-functioning yet internally overwhelmed, seeking clarity, emotional regulation, and direction. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to make sense of what you’re experiencing and find a way forward.

I help children, teenagers and adults with anxiety, depression, stress, anger management and emotional regulation.
Hi. I’m Colleen Nicholas. I’m an Art Therapist, Sandtray Therapist, Interactive Drawing Therapist and Counsellor. I offer expressive therapies in addition to talk therapy, because sometimes words are not enough. It can be difficult to find words to express what we are thinking, feeling or experiencing. Sometimes we are not aware of the “real issue” that’s causing our distress.

Neu Circuits Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor, PACFA
1 Endorsed
St Leonards, NSW 2065
People I often work with have been impacted by trauma or long-term stress and feel stuck in survival mode. They may experience intense emotions, identity confusion, or long-standing personality patterns that make relationships and daily life feel hard to manage. On the outside they may appear to be coping, while inside feeling anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, or constantly on edge. They are seeking trauma-informed support that feels safe and not rushed, and want to feel more regulated, understood, and able to live with greater stability, connection, and self-compassion.

I help men get on top of anger, stress, and habits that have taken over the same way you'd fix anything properly: work out what's wrong, then fix it right, not patch it over.
Most of the men I see are already coping, holding down work, family and day-to-day life, but are tired of the same blow-up happening on repeat. Blokes come to me when they're ready to put in real time on it, not just survive the next one

Many have a history of complex stress, trauma, or mental health challenges and want support that feels grounded, respectful, and non-judgemental. Their goal is to better understand themselves, feel more emotionally steady, and reconnect with their values and sense of agency.

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.
