If you’ve been touched by adoption or foster care, you might carry questions about identity, belonging, or how your past continues to shape your present. You may long to feel more at peace with your story, to find words for experiences that feel complex or hard to share, or to simply be seen and understood without judgment. As someone with lived experience of adoption, I deeply understand that these journeys are layered often filled with both love and loss, connection and challenge. Together, you can explore your feelings, discover new perspectives, and move toward a way of living that feels right for you.

I will teach you how to release anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt and decisions that limit you.
I work with people ashamed of their feelings and need someone to talk to. They suffer from trauma, depression, and extreme grief. They have lost a part of themselves or someone they really love. They have a lot of outer success but internally, they feel very overwhelmed with life and feel they're drowning. They do not know how to cope anymore and mostly, they think ending their lives would ease or end the pain. They are ashamed of their feelings and they feel very much alone, no one understands them and they don’t have anyone to talk to. They are fed up and they cannot see, hear nor feel anything positive anymore.

My ideal client is a leader — a Pastor, executive, or senior manager — who has given everything to their role, only to find themselves burnt out, betrayed, or quietly falling apart. They've experienced abuse, toxic organisational culture, or trauma they haven't yet named. They're high-functioning on the outside, isolated on the inside. They want to be believed, understood, and helped to rebuild — without losing themselves in the process. They're ready to do the hard work, and they need someone who truly gets the cost of leadership.

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.
