Anger Management and Counselling in Georgetown, ON.

Anger is a normal and healthy experience and is part of our fight/flight defensive response to protect ourselves. However, it can become damaging to one's physical, mental and emotional health if it becomes chronic and create an attitude of bitterness, resentment, and even hatred for self and others. Pent up or hidden anger can be harmful to the self and others, although acting out of anger is also most often harmful. Learn how to mange, cope with, and decrease your anger and make better choices and have better responses. Life becomes must happier when you do!

In my approach to Anger Management Therapy, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore and understand the underlying causes of their anger. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and communication skills development, clients can learn to express their anger in healthy and constructive ways. By addressing the root causes and triggers of anger, clients can experience improved emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of self-control and inner peace.

Everyone experiences anger at times but don’t necessarily recognize that anger is a secondary emotion; a reaction to other underlying emotions. Emotions management is vital to being successful in the world and having the ability to have healthy relationships and achieve our goals. In our sessions together we will explore underlying emotions, their root causes, and learn to identify triggers and more effectively manage emotions and reactions. If you are struggling with anger/emotions management and would like to learn strategies to help you cope better, please book a free consultation.

My approach to anger management focuses on helping clients understand the deeper emotions and triggers behind their anger, while also learning healthier ways to cope and respond. Together, we explore patterns, stressors, and underlying feelings such as hurt, fear, or frustration that may fuel anger. I integrate evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, and emotion regulation strategies to build awareness and self-control. Clients benefit by developing practical skills to manage reactions, improve communication, and foster healthier relationships.

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.

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.
