Anger Management Counselling in Chard
With over 10 years of experience, I specialise in working with teens and their struggles. The teenage years can be some of the hardest, as we find our place in a confusing world. I prioritise building skills and resiliency that will support you through your life.
Starting a counselling journey is not a sign of weakness—it is one of the bravest steps a person can take. In a world that often tells us to "keep going," "stay strong," or "just get over it," choosing to pause, sit with your thoughts, and seek understanding is a radical act of self-respect.

A big part of my work is with adults who have suffered adverse childhood experiences or childhood emotional neglect. If this is you and you feel that you are struggling to cope because you are still carrying around the childhood adaptations you used to protect yourself, traits such as people pleasing, being afraid to try, afraid to use your voice, perfectionism traits, not being able to take criticism to name but a few. I have seen people turn their lives around when they have addressed these issues so if this speaks to you please contact me for a consultation. Don't let your past ruin your future it doesn't have to be this way.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the thoughts that are running through your head? Thoughts that are generating anxiety, worry, fear, sadness, shame or a general feeling of being 'stuck' feeling a bit helpless and not being able to find a way forward?
Sometimes in life we come across challenges that are too big to manage and cope with by ourselves and we need a helping hand to work through problems, find some clarity and build our resilience so we can cope better when life throws us curve balls.

Are you feeling anxious,
overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift no matter how much you try to think your way through them?
Understanding can help, but it doesn’t always change how things feel day to day.
You may have already tried to work things through on your own, but still feel stuck.
In our work, we look at the patterns behind how you feel. Not just why they’re there, but how they continue to affect you.
Talking therapy can help you explore and make sense of your experience. I also draw on CBT and EMDR, which work more directly with patterns, behaviours, and past experiences.

I specialise in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) along side other integrative therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness and hypnotherapy.

I support adults and young people facing different challenges, such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, low self-esteem, neurodivergence, and identity.
You might feel overwhelmed, struggle with anxiety, face life transitions, or even uncertain about what to discuss in therapy. Taking that first step is an act of courage, and I will meet you where you are, with patience, empathy, and respect for your pace.

Anger Management Counsellors
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.
