Anger Management and Counselling in Vancouver, BC.

If you're seeking out therapy to help you with anger management, you have likely experienced yourself losing control, only to feel racked with guilt later on. Or, perhaps you simmer with resentment, and your anger comes out in passive aggressive slights. My approach to anger is to explore it fully, so that we can understand its source, and figure out a constructive and healthy way to manage this important emotion. I work collaboratively and actively with my clients to use mindfulness, self-compassion, and emotional awareness to learn about the roots of their anger, and intercept it before it hijacks them.

Anger is a powerful and often misunderstood emotion. While it can feel overwhelming or explosive at times, anger itself is not the problem, it is often a signal of hurt, unmet needs, boundary violations, or unresolved stress. Renee provides a calm, structured space where clients can safely explore their anger and understand what lies beneath it. Whether anger shows up as irritability, resentment, outbursts, or internalized tension, Renee’s approach focuses on building insight, accountability, and sustainable tools for lasting change.

Learning to recognize your anger without acting impulsively is a challenge I can help you with. My approach to anger includes: • Learning to recognize and fully understand your anger triggers • Working with self-esteem—often feelings of shame or self-doubt exacerbate anger problems • Finding ways to express the energy of anger in healthy ways, like assertion rather than aggression, setting boundaries with kind firmness, breath, movement and energetic release • Practices tailored to you, for between sessions to integrate the new healthy ways you are finding in our sessions together
