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. The framework my approach is built on is REBT, yet as each of us are different, I integrate the other therapies to suit each individual. Some clients benefit more from rationalising thoughts and beliefs, while some need help getting over the past, and some need help with moving forward. I work with my clients to address issues, create and reach goals, and to help them make the most of everyday life, without the struggles.

Psychologist, DCounsPsych, HCPC - Couns. Psych.

As a psychologist, I understand that life can bring many and varied struggles. It can be difficult to find solutions when all we are trying to do is get through the day. We may worry that our problems are either too great, or too small, and so we silently keep on pushing through without giving ourselves the grace to seek expert help. We may find it challenging to reach out, simply believing we should be able to cope. This is one of the reasons I became a psychologist, to support those who maybe silently struggling: To offer that protected, compassionate space where you can feel heard and validated.

Counsellor, MBACP

I am a calm, approachable, empathic, and grounded counsellor with 8 years' experience. I have found that no matter who you are, what you have been through or are currently going through in life being genuinely heard and understood by someone else is a deeply healing process which often brings relief, calmness, and clarity. Wrestling with intense thoughts and feelings on your own can be utterly exhausting and can often leave you feeling stuck or going round in circles but having a safe and confidential space to share with a trusted professional can lead to surprising breakthroughs and a deeper understanding of yourself & your issues.

My ideal clients—individuals, couples, and families—often feel stuck, weighed down by anxiety, low mood, or relationship challenges. They carry unresolved pain or struggle with life’s difficulties, seeking more than coping—they want clarity and renewed purpose. I help make sense of this stuckness by exploring the parts of self and relationships that are frozen or trapped. Through supportive yet challenging therapy, I guide clients to build insight, break free from old patterns, and create lasting positive change at their own pace.

I offer a straightforward and grounded approach to therapy and my practice is rooted in your present experience, working with what is actually going on in your life right now. My approach is humanistic, blending concepts taken from psychodynamic theory and Buddhism, or to put it another way - science and spirituality. I work with the mind and body, viewing them not as two separate competing entities, but as a flowing, cyclical, relational system, with each needing a unique type of care and attention which unfortunately is all too often missing from our modern lives both on an individual and societal level.

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.
