Hello, I'm Carl, knowing that I can talk to someone about the things that I might be finding difficult is very important to me, especially if those feelings are ones I worry others wont understand. I aim to lessen that worry by providing an open and accepting space for you to be able to discuss the issues that your facing.

Trying to make sense of feelings and emotions in times of stress and change can be challenging. SandStory Therapy and/or clay therapy can enable better awareness of the underlying difficulties. As a creative therapy, we work together to help you 'observe' your individual story in the sand to gain clarity and meaning. Clay also enables deep exploration and understanding of what is being expressed from your unconscious. Emotional Logic (EL) coaching is a self-development method providing you with lifelong tools to help when engaging with new and unpredictable situations, and can be used alongside or separately as you choose.

Let's work together to figure out the next steps to feeling better: Seeking help, as you are doing by searching this site, is a brave and important step in satisfying your own needs - in doing this, you are already creating some relief and a pathway towards yourself as you wish to be. You may feel lost or confused as to what comes next, but you have already shown that you can think outside of your difficulty and adapt in order to change a situation which isn’t working for you. Our task is to get in touch with feelings that can further open up your awareness, to allow changes you want to happen.

The name for my practice 'Positive Life Solutions Counselling' came about from my firm belief in observing possibility for positive change having worked with clients for some time now. When faced with overwhelming difficulties it is easy to feel lost and to lose sight of hope. However, the unique relationship that a therapeutic alliance affords helps clients to have the courage to explore aspects of themselves at a deeper level. Counselling differs from talking to friends or family; it offers a confidential space, free from judgement or opinion. You will be met with congruence and compassion on my part and genuine empathy.

Struggles with distress, rumination, self-criticism, destructive and repetitive behaviours you don’t want, relationship difficulties and loss are experiences that I believe will impact all of us over the course of our lives. Finding it hard to have clarity, understanding and compassion for yourself can also make it hard to reach out to others. It can also sometimes be difficult for those closest to us to respond in a helpful way.

I can also help with a wide variety of mental health difficulties, such as: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, problems relating to grief and loss, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anger problems, bipolar disorder and addictions.
As a clinical psychologist with several years of additional specialist training, I help people understand how their struggles typically make sense in the context of their experiences. Drawing on mainly experiential therapy models, I tailor my interventions to the individual I am working with, rather than offering a 'one size fits all' approach.

You may be feeling persistently anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected in your relationships, unsure of where these feelings stem from. Perhaps you’re navigating life within different cultural contexts, leading to a sense of isolation or misunderstanding. You might suspect neurodivergence, like ADHD, or be supporting someone who does. Your goal is to gain clarity, understand yourself better, and create meaningful changes in your life.

Do you ever feel that your life could be better? Maybe there is not enough satisfaction and joy in your life, maybe you feel stuck, perhaps because you have been unable to create the life you want, or because relationships, either at home or work, seem to repeat in unhelpful ways without resolution. Sometimes these circumstances can interact with anxiety, depression or other difficulties, causing an unhelpful spiral which leave you feeling even less able to make positive change. Contacting a therapist may feel difficult, but it can be the first step towards understanding the blocks preventing you from living the life you want.

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.
