Counselling and Therapy for Anger Management

Anger is a part of being human. It is not possible to ‘get rid’ of anger, as some people who come to counselling wish, because it is a natural feeling that is essential to our survival. It is, however, possible to learn to manage angry feelings and behaviours.

Sometimes people explode with rage and act out their angry feelings, whilst others hold their anger in and deny that it exists. If anger isn’t managed and expressed safely, it can lead to all sorts of problems e.g. domestic violence, road rage, self-harm, depression, destructive relationships, chronic health issues.

Learning to manage angry feelings can require skill and practice over a length of time. In counselling for anger management, we explore how you express your anger, or don’t, and the impact this has in your life. Counselling can enable you to:

Identify your patterns of behaviour around feeling angry
Manage your angry feelings, from small irritations to fully-fledged rage
Make safe choices about how you express angry feelings
Learn how to make a complaint to someone else
Set clear and consistent boundaries
Learn how to say ‘No’ and mean it
Explore ways to express anger physically
