More than 1,220 men and women have completed our intensive, therapeutically informed course. It enables people to change behaviours associated with domestic violence. The focus may be on all or any of the following:
Our Heart of England model focuses on emotional regulation via:
The work is open to men and women in any variation of couple relationship. It is conducted in groups no larger than eight, and delivered by a male and female facilitator at weekends so that it is easily accessible by people in work.

Our aim is to enable you to achieve a loving, responsible and fulfilling relationship with current, future or past partners and with your children. Many of our clients say their work at Temper brought about more self awareness and helped them feel more able to handle challenges in life in a responsible way.
Before participants can be accepted onto the course a phone or Zoom assessment lasting one hour is required. To be suitable you need to commit to and engage in the personal work and to attend fully. Get in touch and talk to us about your personal circumstances if you are unsure whether our course is right for you.

This is a small, closed group, which means you will build trust with other attendees and the facilitators quickly, enabling you to do intensive work in a relatively short time. There are a maximum of eight places available per course.
The course runs over two full weekends, one month apart. Hours are 9am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday. This totals 36 hours, which equates to 18 two-hour sessions.
Continuity (ie doing a lot of work in a row) means you experience a depth and momentum that produces lasting change. The month between weekend 1 and weekend 2 allows what has been learnt in the first half to be processed and practised. It is then developed in the second half. Both halves of the work must be completed in the same group.
A small percentage of clients may require more extensive work. This may be offered by Temper DV or we may make referrals. Post-course support is available via Zoom once a week, and some groups maintain contact via their own private WhatsApp groups.

Safety for all concerned comes in early and effective intervention. We always try to engage with clients as quickly as possible because of the potential risks to children, mothers and fathers.
About 10 days are needed to complete the initial processes prior to taking part in a group course. Our experience is that last-minute arrivals can be impulsive and then either not join a group or not settle into the work. However, if there is a space available, we will always do our best to engage with the late arriving individual.
