Anger Management and Counselling in Norfolk County, ON.

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.

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.

Anger is neither good nor bad, but just one of the many emotions individuals are capable of feeling. Problems can arise from what happens after anger has been felt. Our attitude and response to feeling angry is often learnt from others as we grow up which, in turn, influences our thinking about the situation that resulted in us feeling angry. These then combine to determine if we respond in favourable or unfavourable ways. Exploring how an individual views the situation that lead to feeling angry and his/her subsequent thinking can uncover unrealistic attitudes and thought patterns. This can then be replaced with more appropriate attitudes and thought patterns.

Managing anger and emotional regulation can be very difficult for many people. I can teach you to develop healthy coping strategies and emotional regulation skills. Whether you are struggling with outburst of anger, difficulty expressing emotions, or feeling overwhelmed with stress, I can help with support and tools to regain control and live a balanced life.

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.

Anger can feel intense and difficult to control, often impacting relationships and overall well-being. In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the root causes of anger and develop healthy ways to express emotions. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and Mindfulness, we’ll work on practical strategies to manage triggers, improve communication, and restore balance. The goal is to help you feel more in control, reduce stress, and build stronger, more positive connections.

Anger is a natural emotion. In moderation it empowers us, allows us to draw boundaries, and protect our rights. On the other hand, excessive anger has the power to be destructive, damage relations, and affect health adversely. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) can assist with uncovering sources of destructive maladaptive anger and interchange them with more adaptive emotions necessary for emotional needs to be met, alleviate hurt, and begin the process of healing. As a practitioner of EFT, providing vital skills to resolve old wounds and allowing for more effective emotional communication to facilitate unmet needs is my ultimate goal for the client.

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 can be a powerful tool when it is used in the right way. It is a sign of passion and boldness that can be used to achieve great things. Unfortunately, it can also do great harm. Together, we will find ways to harness your drive and use it as a way to help you reach your true potential. Anger should be used for good, not for tearing down. Together we’ll find how you can best use yours.

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.

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.

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.

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 can be a stumbling block that keeps you from having deeper relationships and reaching your full potential. In fact, loss of control due to anger can lead to significant consequences if not dealt with. In therapy, we look for the source(s) of your anger as well as practical steps and skills to help you overcome your anger. I help you discover the thoughts and beliefs that contribute to your anger in order to allow you to change your emotions and behavior. In a non-judgmental atmosphere, we examine your past and current context to bring understanding, healing and a plan for future success in this area.

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 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.

Anger can be upsetting not only for the one receiving it but also for the one expressing it. Although we can believe that someone "makes" us angry it is usually our own trigger that fires off. We express anger not just because we feel we have a right to be angry but because we use anger as a way of self protection. It says "back off and leave me alone." Understanding your angry pain can free you from it's grip. I have helped many clients with this difficulty through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and inner child approaches that have proven to be successful in the treatment of anger.

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.
