Anger Management Counselling

 What is Anger?

Anger is often thought of as a negative emotion that has destructive qualities. How often have you wanted to control your anger yet give way to that ‘inner child’ and feel really bad afterwards? We view anger as a normal emotion that arises in response to threatening situations.

Recognising your physical reactions to anger (such as accelerated and heavy breathing) and the triggers that set you off can help you to manage the level and intensity of angry reactions. Our counsellors can help you to identify your relationship to anger and aim to help you plan long-term solutions to anger management.

Unhelpful ways of thinking that have been in place due to conditioning at school, home or work can be explored in a confidential setting. If you feel that your anger is making you overly aggressive and affecting the way you behave then please contact us for a consultation.

There are many reasons to be angry but we feel that unresolved anger can have many harmful side effects and these can manifest in behaviour or even physical outbursts.

Common root causes of anger can be fear, pain and frustration. Some people become angry as a fearful reaction to uncertainty, from the fear of losing a job to the fear of failure. Others become angry when they are hurt in a relationship or are caused pain by close friends or family.

Individuals can effectively teach themselves to identify and transform unhealthy anger into a more positive experience and to defuse conflicts in a way that they feel is more beneficial.
