Anger Management and Counselling in Ottawa, ON.

It may take someone close to us to let us know that our temper has gotten out of hand. Other times, we may know what it is that's causing us to feel angry, but, don't know how to manage the emotion, let alone the situation. In more unfortunate cases, it can turn into a situation involving authorities. While we all experience anger at one point or another and in some way or another, when it becomes problematic, it can become a real issue. Anger management at Uniquely You is an individualized process that involves finding possible solutions, implementing healthier coping, regulating emotions, and finding deeper meaning and roots to the anger that you are experiencing

Anger can be a strong emotion. When used in an unproductive way, anger can harm us (i.e. self-criticism, self-injury), and harm our relationships (i.e. blaming, criticism, aggression, inflexibility). However, when this feeling is used in a healthy way, it can give us some important information about boundaries, needs & expectations. It can also help to motivate us to make necessary changes. In therapy, we can work together to get a handle on anger and harness that energy in healthy, helpful ways.

I take a compassionate, attachment-based approach to anger, helping you understand the deeper emotions and unmet needs that fuel it. Through somatic awareness, we’ll work on reconnecting with your body’s signals so you can recognize anger as valuable information rather than something to fear or suppress. Together, we’ll explore healthy ways to express and manage anger, build emotional regulation skills, and strengthen your ability to respond—rather than react—in moments of stress or conflict.

In working with clients with anger-management problems, my approach often involves helping them feel understood and heard. Then, to increase their awareness of the different contributors to their issue, be it from unresolved feelings about past events, difficult recent events or worrying about the future. Using a structured cognitive-behavioral approach, such as found in CBT based workbooks such as the Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anger (William J Knaus) is often part of my strategy to increase insight and healthier coping skills.

Anger is a potent and powerful emotion but can have a devastating effect on our relationships and ourselves.

When experiencing a heightened emotion such as anger, there is a sense of being out of control. There is a lack of ability to control what one is saying or doing. In therapy, it will be about focusing on what one has control over when experience a moment of anger that results in a negative outcome. There will be a focus on body sensation, emotions and behaviours in order to manage and cope with the emotion of anger.

Anger is a common emotion that can come easy to us and can feel quite powerful.

I see anger as a protective signal from a nervous system under strain, not a personal failing. In our work, we slow things down so you can understand what’s beneath the intensity—stress, hurt, boundaries, or unmet needs. I offer a steady, non‑judgmental space to explore these patterns, build regulation and clarity, and create more choice in how you respond. Over time, anger becomes less overwhelming and more of a guide toward what matters, helping you move through daily life with greater steadiness and confidence

Through anger management work, we can begin to understand the early signs of escalation and learn how to regulate before we reach the point where it feels uncontrollable. We will also explore the "iceberg" theory of anger, and look at what other emotions are bubbling below the surface of the outward expression of anger.

Anger can be a powerful and sometimes overwhelming emotion, but with the right strategies, it can be managed effectively.

Anger, frustration, rage, and reactivity overall, can make a person feel frustrated and powerless; when we have emotional outbursts of any kind they can feel so all-encompassing and make us feel like we are not in control of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. In working with clients on their emotions I aim to primarily promote an understanding of why our emotional outbursts occur; once this has been established we begin to work on how to manage, mitigate, or change how these outbursts occur, or why we feel the way that we feel in the first place.
