You can usually function well but at stressful times you have felt stuck and overwhelmed. As a therapist, we challenge your past patterns and stumbling blocks while developing your coping strategies so you can thrive. I can support you in a trauma-informed way by integrating attachment, shame, and basic neuroscience. I have years of experience but I see every person as unique. As a leadership coach, I work with value-based SMEs whose creativity feels blocked. I support growth with staff ‘splash’, imposter syndrome and learning from mistakes. Listening to your authentic voice brings clarity of thinking for effective development.

People are impacted in different ways when they have experienced trauma in their life such as a single incident like a car accident or repeated incidents such as childhood abuse, bullying or domestic violence as an adult. You might always feel on edge, constantly scanning for danger; re-experience past memories as if they are happening now with intense distress; or find difficulty sleeping due to nightmares. For others, their traumatic experiences may leave them in a place where they find it difficult to trust others, or constantly put themselves last.

Psychological support is about investing in you. Life can be chaotic, intense, confusing, and we can be left feeling disconnected from ourselves, our lives, and the people around us. Sometimes we just need some space to stop and think. Psychological support is also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself - who you are, what you need, what matters to you. For others, it's about building on existing skills - how to get more out of relationships, improving communication, being more assertive, boosting your sleep and performance, learning to be the best version of yourself.

Mental health difficulties can leave us feeling rejected, isolated and alone. This is a hard cycle to break, because we tend to manage our problems in ways that leave us feeling even worse. This is all part of being human. It affects our relationships, our sense of self and our ability to function on a day-to-day basis. It is at times like this that we need support. Someone who can help us to view our problems through a different lens and can help us develop the tools we need to break the cycle. Many people find that therapy is the key to managing their difficulties whilst leading more meaningful lives.

You seem fine on the outside, but inside, it’s constant overthinking, self-doubt, and feeling like you don’t quite belong. I work with people navigating anxiety, big life shifts, burnout, grief, or the weight of always being the “strong one". Maybe you’ve grown up between cultures, moved countries, or spent years people-pleasing just to fit in. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel what’s really there, and stop performing. As someone who’s lived between worlds, I bring both lived experience and clinical training to help you make sense of it all and come home to yourself.

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.
