Anger Management and Counselling in Merrickville Wolford, ON.

Anger management counselling will benefit you if your personal and work relationships are negatively affected by your inability to control your anger and/or express it effectively. Through anger counselling Sarah will help you to recognize and resolve the root problems behind your anger, help you to recognize the things that trigger your anger and will provide you with practical mental, physical and emotional strategies to control your anger and express it in productive ways. The goal of anger counselling is not to learn to repress angry emotions but to learn skills to express this emotion in ways that will improve your relationships rather than cause harm to yourself and those you love

I support clients in understanding and expressing anger safely and constructively. Together, we identify triggers, release tension, and develop healthier responses. Clients benefit by improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and feeling more in control, balanced, and empowered in both personal and professional aspects of their lives.

It can be difficult to control our emotions, especially in these challenging times. Anger can also be an expression of other emotions that are lying beneath the surface. Psychotherapy can help identify tools that work for you in learning to regulate your emotions, as well as approaching your anger with preventative strategies such as learning to recognize when you begin to feel angry, and regular activities that can help alleviate stress and build up your stress tolerance. You are not defined by your anger, and your anger doesn't control you. By learning to identify your triggers and the purpose your anger serves for you, therapy can help you make a shift bring more peace into your life.

My approach to anger management focuses on helping clients understand what’s beneath the anger—not just stopping the reaction. Using CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed strategies, I help clients identify triggers, interrupt automatic responses, and express emotions in healthier, more effective ways. Clients learn practical skills for self-control, communication, and emotional regulation. Over time, they gain clarity, confidence, and the ability to manage conflict without exploding, shutting down, or damaging relationships.
