Anger Management and Counselling in Kingston, ON.

If anger has caused too much damage to the relationships in your life, please reach out - there is hope. I provide a structured and compassionate approach to understanding and managing your anger. I provide a safe space for clients to express their frustrations while helping them identify the underlying emotions and triggers fueling their anger. Through tailored strategies, such as relaxation techniques, cognitive-behavioral tools, and communication skills, clients will learn to respond to anger in healthier, more constructive ways. My goal is to help clients gain emotional control, improve relationships, and develop lasting coping mechanisms to handle future challenges.

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.

Anger management counselling at Neurodiversity Aware Therapy focuses on understanding how anger develops through patterns of thought, expectation, unmet needs, and experiences of oppression. For many neurodivergent people, anger may emerge from frustration, misunderstanding, or repeated invalidation rather than intentional aggression. Using a structured, collaborative approach, therapy supports clients in identifying triggers, examining assumptions, and developing practical strategies to respond more intentionally, self-advocate, reduce conflict, and improve relationships.

In working with clients with anger-management problems, my approach often involves helping them feel understood and heard. Then, to increase their awareness of the different contributors to their issue, be it from unresolved feelings about past events, difficult recent events or worrying about the future. Using a structured cognitive-behavioral approach, such as found in CBT based workbooks such as the Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anger (William J Knaus) is often part of my strategy to increase insight and healthier coping skills.

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.

Anger presents in various forms and can range in intensity within and between individuals. When working with clients who see anger as a barrier in their lives, I strive to work together to gain an understanding of where the anger comes from, determine its different features and triggers, and explore the possible ways that you can feel more in control over this experience.
