Anger Management and Counselling in County of Brant, ON.

Anger can be good and it can be unhealthy. It is important to know what lay beneath the anger that is being displayed. Some people don't know why they get angry and others do, but are stuck in not knowing how to stop lashing out. We look at the underlying issues of anger to determine the necessary steps to changing unhealthy anger into a healthier you.

Anger is often considered a negative emotion. However, it is a healthy emotion that is sometimes expressed in an unhealthy way. By exploring what's under the anger emotionally and where it stems from, I help my client become aware of their anger and help them develop skills to better express and mange it. I work in a non-judgmental and compassionate manner as I join my client in their journey of better understanding of themselves and their experience.

Together, we will gain insight into the root of your anger and the purpose that it serves in your life. We will empower you to learn more about yourself when you experience anger and decide how you choose to respond to this emotion. I employ an integrative approach in my practice working alongside clients within an empathetic and supportive dynamic.

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 one of the emotions that can get us into trouble in our relationships and even with ourselves. First of all, all emotions are neither right or wrong, it's our behavior that can be the problem - how we process (or don't process) our feelings of anger is usually the issue. Gaining self awareness in how you feel anger in your body and then gaining strategies to process it in a healthy matter is the focus I take in working with managing anger in clients.

My approach to anger counseling is trauma-informed and rooted in compassion, curiosity, and emotional regulation. I help clients understand that anger is often a protective response to deeper feelings such as hurt, fear, or unmet needs. Together, we explore the underlying sources of anger and work to develop healthy coping strategies using techniques from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) mindfulness, and somatic awareness. Clients learn to express their anger in constructive ways, set healthy boundaries, and transform reactive patterns into empowered, conscious responses.

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 is a normal and healthy emotion and we all get angry from time to time. However, when anger turns destructive and/or self-destructive and brings problems into your personal and professional life, you need to seek support to learn how to manage your anger better. In the process, you will learn how to relieve the symptoms and recognize the signs of anger, increase your confidence and self esteem level, enjoy stronger and healthier relationships with your loved ones and coworkers, learn how to express yourself and your emotions with confidence and without anger, and live more balanced life both mentally and emotionally.

In 30 years of helping people, I have found that how we handle our feelings is a major contributor to our joy, pleasure and success in life, not just in relationships but pursuing our work and our goals as well. Anger can be a powerful motivator or an obstacle in getting what we want. I have an approach for understanding the healthy purpose of anger, and becoming aware of and in control of your natural physiological arousal process so that your angry behavior can stop getting in the way of what you really want. You can obtain the tools and resources to work with this arousal process, giving you more choices and chances to succeed, rather than letting anger take away those choices.

There are many things that can spark anger and it can be difficult to get a hold when anger takes over. It can also be difficult to understand why certain situations may lead us to feel angry and propel us to act in ways that may not be helpful to ourselves or to the relationships we are part of. Within therapy, I will help you to develop greater insight into how and why you experience anger and together, we will learn about the patterns that anger is connected to. I will also help you to develop tools to more safely connect with anger so that you can experience more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

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.

I often hear from clients that when the “anger switch” turns on, they’ve lost all control. I work with clients to recognize what triggers that switch and keeps the anger in control. I help clients learn to become less reactive and more responsive to their anger which means that they are in control and have the ability to choose how they respond to their anger. Clients learn how to communicate in more effective ways allowing them to build healthier relationships, handle challenges and conflict with confidence and feel empowered to work towards their goals.

Anger can be a difficult emotion for many of us to deal with. It is important to understand that it is not wrong to feel anger and in fact, anger can be a very healthy emotion. In therapy, we work together to first understand the source of your anger and why it shows up in possibly triggering ways. We can then work to find healthier ways to express anger and build better relationships. I also would like to empower you to feel better about your anger by not having to feel guilty about it.

At times, anger may give rise to harmful or counterproductive behaviors. At Atlas Therapy, our focus is on helping individuals mitigate emotional intensity through the teaching of diverse emotional regulation skills and the identification of psychological cues. It's essential to comprehend the underlying frustrations, triggers, and emotions to effectively address anger. Our approach emphasizes fostering self-awareness and providing clients with a versatile toolkit to bolster relationships, enhance overall lifestyle, and promote well-being with confidence.

Anger is a normal emotion.It does not need to be "managed". It needs to be understood. Usually anger masks hurt. An examination of anger can uncover hurts and vulnerabilities which need to be better expressed. Often anger turns into aggression, which is the attempt to control another person. It is the aggression which needs to be managed while the anger/hurt needs understanding and acceptance. In addition we must be able to tolerate hurt in order to learn and grow in a relationship. Often the hurts arise because our partner sees things differently from ourself. For a relationship to be successful we have to be able to make room for the other person.

Anger is often a secondary feeling and it is important to learn to identify and process the underlying feelings. As a primary feeling anger helps us know when something isn't right and is the energy behind setting appropriate boundaries and enacting change. Our therapists are trained to support you in learning to identify and process anger in a healthy way that improves your relationships and emotional health.

Anger is complex. It often masks deeper pain—like grief, shame, fear, or powerlessness—and most of us were never taught how to handle it. Whether your anger feels explosive or quietly simmering, I offer a non-judgmental space to explore it with curiosity and care. Together, we’ll build awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier responses that don’t leave you drained or ashamed. With warmth, structure, and a touch of humour, my goal is to help you transform anger into insight, strength, and choice.

My approach to anger management is centered on cultivating healthier ways to express and manage your feelings. I provide practical tools and a supportive environment for understanding and managing anger constructively. We will work together to help you identify and better understand your triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and fostering emotional regulation. If you're ready to take control of your emotions, reach out for a free consultation.

In anger management therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore the emotions behind your anger and understand how it affects your life and relationships. Together, we identify triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and practice constructive ways to express your feelings. My goal is to help you regain control, reduce conflict, and build stronger, more positive connections with the people around you while fostering greater self-awareness and emotional balance.

Anger is a completely normal, often healthy human emotion. But if it gets beyond your control, it can be very destructive in your work and interpersonal relationships and can drastically devastate the quality of your life. Fortunately, anger can be 'managed' which is very different than 'suppressing' it. Unexpressed anger leads to a host of other problems including high blood pressure. However, when we learn how to 'manage' our anger, we can learn to diminish both the emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. We can learn to avoid triggers and develop strategies. We can learn how to problem solve, change our thinking and relax our bodies.
