4 year old ‘hates her life’

I really am not sure what to do or how to approach this.

She is quick to anger and quick to escalate behaviour; constantly hurts the dog; is rude to adults; 0-60mph tantrums in 5 seconds; seems deeply unhappy. She is beginning to get a reputation at school for being naughty. She sometimes cries at bedtime and asks ‘why am I like this? Why do I do this?’ And this evening said she hates her life.

She is enormously loved, full of fun, articulate, witty, wonderful, clever, gets lots of attention…

What could/should our next step be? I am at a total loss with how to help her and it is quite devastating.
