Over 20 years experience has enabled me to offer key therapeutic and coaching support to local and international clients dealing with: life and work challenges, couple counselling, divorce recovery, loss, anger management, procrastination, stress and low mood, life stage transitions, adult ADHD, difficult conversations, etc
Therapy and Life Coaching. Life is full of both practical and emotional challenges. If you are finding that insight alone is not moving you forward, you may need to focus more on Life Coaching and behavior change. If you need deeper insight into why you are stuck or why you do or feel certain things, you will need to lean more into Therapy for deeper work. Most often we need a combination of both at different times for progress and lasting change.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, or navigating a significant life transition. Later life, in particular, often brings some of the most meaningful and challenging transitions, including retirement, loss, health changes, and shifts in identity and purpose. I primarily work with older adults moving through these stages, while also supporting adults of all ages who may feel distressed, uncertain, or stuck.

My ideal client is someone who has never had an easy start in life. They’ve faced challenge after challenge and often feel like life has dealt them an unfair hand. This has left them with a negative mindset at times, expecting things to always be tough. And yet — there is a part of them that refuses to give up. Despite the obstacles, they keep moving forward, even when it’s hard. Their goal is to shift their mindset, to see situations differently and to believe in the possibility of change. They know that cultivating a more positive outlook is the foundation for greater resilience, success, and a life that finally feels lighter.

If you've been managing on your own for a while, whether it's anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that feels fresh no matter how much time passes, or a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall, you don't need someone to diagnose you or hand you a label. You need a space where you can exhale. I work with individuals, adolescents or adults, who are tired of carrying it alone. Are you ready to slow down, untangle, and gently find your way back?

I have worked with people for 25 years. Depending on the person my approach would vary. For some more clearly defined problems a short-term practical approach is suitable. I support the client to deal with his or her difficult situation and to find solutions which will work best in that particular setting. For more complex issues which have persisted over a long time it is necessary to explore and address the underlying issues in order to achieve long-term improvement. Therapy should provide a safe and professional space from where to start a journey with the aim to find more balance and greater enjoyment and meaning in life again.

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.
