Anger Management and Counselling in Bradford West Gwillimbury, ON.

Anger can destroy lives, families and relationships. I, as a professional, work on the idea of “he who angers you controls you”. Through a proven user friendly anger management process which incorporates many internal reflections, the client can begin to build more control over his/her emotions as a result more capable of handling difficult situations. Over time, through using these new skills, the client develops more confidence and assurance that he/she can deal with life’s challenges in a more calm and reasonable manner. Clients will also be provided with life long strategies and coping methods.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

Anger management in therapy looks like getting to the root cause of the anger. Often, there are other more vulnerable feelings underneath the anger that need to be spoken about. Once we have an idea of where the anger is coming from, we'll look for ways to help you regulate the emotions. As anger (along with other visceral feelings) is a physical reaction, this can look like developing tools that change your physical state.

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.

Anger comes from a core that may be expressed in an entirely different situation with an angry reaction. Trish Joyes' approach is to work with clients in self-awareness and figure out what strategies uniquely assist the client. In doing so, clients will benefit from a more positive lifestyle and better communications skills in their relationships.

Anger is a normal emotion. However, anger becomes a problem when it occurs frequently, is disproportionate to the situation that triggered it, when it leads to verbal or physical aggression, and when you cannot “let it go” even after the situation has passed. Anger management helps people identify the triggers for their anger and to develop strategies to manage those triggers so they do not lead to excessive or inappropriate anger. While it may not always feel like it, there is a step between whatever triggers your anger and your feelings and expression of anger. You may not be able to avoid the people or situations that make you angry, but you can learn to change your reactions to them.

Feeling angry? Frustrated? Feeling at a loss of how to manage your emotions? I can definitely help you in making sense of it all and provide you with some effective strategies. I've ran anger management groups,onsite workplace conflict resolution, and have helped hundreds of people individually with issues like work place conflict, toxic relationships, family conflict, grief and anger, and many other life issues.

I have spent hundreds of hours working with clients who struggle with managing anger/rage. There are specific, step-by-step techniques that can be taught, that are very effective at helping people deal with this issue. Based on reports from clients I have worked with, I have found that if clients are committed to their process, most people make significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. Drawing from polyvagal theory, AEDP and mindfulness techniques, clients can learn healthy ways to manage and experience their anger.

In Anger Management counselling, I help clients identify the underlying causes of their anger and develop healthier ways to express and manage it. Using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Regulation strategies, and relaxation exercises, we work together to recognize triggers, change negative thought patterns, and create more constructive responses. My approach emphasizes self-awareness, personal responsibility, and improved communication skills, empowering clients to manage their emotions more effectively, reduce conflicts, and create more positive, fulfilling relationships.

Anger is a common, I'd say necessary function, for it helps us right wrongs, & protect ourselves and others. Like the saying goes, "Good fences make good neighbours", and anger is the energy to make such fences. Sometimes though, anger can seem out of control, or inapropriate. I help you to understand your anger, and to use it constructively for bettering your life, and the lives of others.

My approach to anger management counseling helps clients understand the underlying causes of their anger and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

This leads to reduced conflict, improved relationships, and a more peaceful, balanced life.

Maybe you are reaching out because your words and actions are affecting those you love. We will work together to address your emotional reactivity so that you can create enough space before your actions so that you can choose a different path. We will explore what is underlying your anger so that we can address the root cause. Anger is a secondary emotion, and we will work to discover the primary emotion that is causing you such difficulties.

Anger is often thought of as a negative emotion, but I like to think of Anger as the part of you that loves you and wants to stand up for you when you’ve experienced something “unfair.” Anger does not always make the best decisions about when to stand up for you, so I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore how anger shows up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact it has on living the life you want to live. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

Anger is a common and useful emotional reaction. However, there are times when anger is excessive or extreme and controls a person to the point that it is hurtful to them, their life, and their loved ones. I work with clients to understand their experience of anger, learn to identify potential triggers and underlying issues, and develop coping skills to manage these issues and emotions. Clients will learn relaxation or calming strategies, how to communicate to reduce angry outbursts, problem solving skills, and how to alter negative thinking which may be contributing to the anger. This often results in clients feeling happier, more relaxed, and having improved relationships.

Anger is a valid emotion, but when it starts to feel like it’s running the show or damaging your relationships, it’s time to pause and explore what’s underneath. Maybe you’ve been reacting in ways you don’t feel proud of, or bottling things up until they boil over. Either way, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, it means something deeper needs your attention. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand your triggers, explore the root of your anger, and develop healthier ways to express and manage it. Our goal isn’t to get rid of anger, but to help you gain more control, self-awareness, and confidence in how you respond. You deserve to feel heard, not ashamed, and we’re here to help you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is proven to be effective in managing mood such as anger. Using CBT and other helpful interventions, I can assist you to manage your anger. The goal is not to get rid of all anger, the goal is to manage and tame anger. If we can't control our anger, it can cause serious health issues, ruin relationships and careers, get you into trouble with the law, etc. I have developed an anger management workbook that can systematically guide you in your journey of recovery. You will feel a great sense of control and calmness.

Anger is a powerful emotion that, when not controlled or understood, can get in the way of maintaining and building the relationships that are important to us in our lives. So often under those all-encompassing feelings of anger are other feelings that have been buried - perhaps deeper feelings of sadness. Working on issues of anger in therapy is about building an understanding of what our deeper issues are and of working toward coping with our feelings, resolving our issues, and finding more healthy ways to express ourselves in the world.

Anger is a valid emotion—but when it starts to harm relationships or disrupt daily life, it’s time to get curious, not ashamed. We work with you to understand the deeper feelings underneath the anger—like hurt, fear, or betrayal—and help you build healthier ways to express and regulate those emotions. Therapy gives you space to pause, reflect, and respond instead of react. Our goal is to help you gain control without losing your voice.

My approach to Anger Management counseling is rooted in helping clients process anger in a conscious way. I guide clients to recognize the difference between healthy anger and destructive, explosive rage, providing clarity and insight into their emotional responses. We explore the roots of suppressed anger, often tied to childhood fears or unmet needs for love, creating understanding rather than judgment. Clients are supported in expressing anger responsibly, raising self-awareness and accountability, while connecting with their authentic selves. This empowers clients to respond to life with honesty and integrity.

Has your anger ever gotten the best of you? Anger is a natural emotion, but going from zero to 100 or seething inside with anger for hours may indicate that you are having trouble expressing your emotions effectively and are stuck in an unhelpful pattern of behaviour. Anger management counselling can help you identify triggers, learn how to regulate your emotions, repair strained relationships and increase positive experiences.

In anger management counselling, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the emotions and triggers underlying anger. Together, we identify patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and practice communication skills to express feelings constructively. My approach focuses on understanding the root causes of anger, increasing self-awareness, and building emotional regulation skills. Clients often gain greater control over their responses, improve relationships, and experience a sense of calm, empowerment, and personal growth.
