In my experience of working extensively with anger over many years, it typically takes between four to 15 weeks to see significant, lasting change. While you may notice notable improvements after just a couple of sessions, fully embedding the transformation and ensuring that your anger is significantly reduced or eliminated usually takes a bit longer, often up to 15 weeks.

We can work together to set a timeframe based on your goals, or keep it flexible. You're free to adjust the number of sessions as needed and stop whenever you feel comfortable with the progress you've made.

To make the most of your therapy sessions, it’s essential to talk openly and honestly about your problems, thoughts, and feelings, no matter how personal or painful they may be. I will always listen without judgment, and your confidentiality is protected by law.

To fully benefit from the process, it’s important to actively engage in both in-session discussions and any out-of-session activities we develop together as part of your treatment plan.

Your feedback—whether positive or negative—is strongly encouraged and helps us tailor your therapy. Aim to provide regular feedback about your progress, and when you feel ready to end therapy, it’s best to discuss this decision with me so we can ensure a smooth transition.

My role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings and explore the aspects of your life that matter most to you. Developing a trusting, understanding relationship is key to successful therapy.

I won’t judge, direct, or impose goals on you. Instead, we can collaborate to set goals if that’s something you’d like. My role is to facilitate a process where you can discover your own meanings, truths, and solutions. Since you are the expert on your life, your input is vital in the decision-making process throughout therapy.
