What's your relationship with anger like? Is it the only emotion that's allowed out or maybe it's one that feels too unsafe, like you can't trust yourself to express anger, so you suppress and bottle it up, causing you to feel worse. Maybe you don't want to feel angry, but it feels justified. Maybe you turn that anger inwards towards yourself. You may be really self-critical. Anger can cause a lot of suffering to us and those around us, so it can be important to work on changing the relationship we have with it. I can work with you to better understand your anger and other emotions and to change how you interact with them, so it causes you and those around you less suffering.

Anger management problems emerge from a social system where both genders are taught that expression of anger is inappropriate. Anger is one of seven basic human emotions and is in no way dangerous, unfeminine, or taboo. Explosive anger typically emerges when people attempt to keep their anger from others, holding it inside until they can no longer contain it. My approach is to model and practice graded expression of anger, and to help people modify the point(s) of view from which anger is seen to emerge.

Anger becomes a problem when it is felt too intensely, is felt too frequently, or is expressed inappropriately. When anger is displayed frequently and aggressively, it can become a maladaptive habit. In my approach to therapy, I focus on various cognitive therapies, including CBT. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to inappropriate anger expression, helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and manage their anger more effectively. If you're ready, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore how I can support you.

Anger is often misunderstood and equated with aggression. In fact, anger is a highly positive emotion which helps to define our boundaries and affirm our inner strengths. Therapy can make anger your friend by helping you to notice it, understand it and express it in a positive way. Most people need to be more angry rather than less. Anger cannot be controlled by bottling it up.

Anger managment is approached from cognive behavioral approach. First I spend a lot of time listening and empathizing with client as to what they are dealing with. Then we discuss how cognition effects emotions and emotions effect behavior. Then the approach is in controlling bodily signals as well as cognition when triggers occur. Solution focused is used in noticing over the weeks how things are getting better and changing. Strenghts and successes are then built on.

Anger is often a signal—not just a reaction. I help clients understand what’s happening underneath their anger, whether it stems from overwhelm, unmet needs, frustration, or long-standing relational dynamics. My approach focuses on emotional regulation, communication, and pattern recognition, so that anger doesn’t sabotage connection or lead to guilt. You won’t be told to “calm down”—you’ll learn how to respond differently, with clarity and self-respect. Therapy is a place to shift from reaction to choice, and from tension to direction.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger.
