The goal of therapy is not to remove anger, like a surgical procedure might remove something bad, because you can't do that. Anger is something that is present in all of us. Rather the goal of therapy is to help you learn how to manage your anger so that you can use it productively. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.
I believe in emotional management as opposed to anger management. Its important to understand that anger is often linked to other emotions & can be triggered by these linked emotions, as well as value based conflicts. I have extensive experience in working with people in this area.

Unless it is rightful anger - for example in response to cruelty like seeing someone kicking a dog - then anger is actually a cover-up for deeper more painful feelings of sadness or fear or loss. It feels easy to get angry because we have more control. It is an energetic response rather than a passive, helpless response. It is often, also, learned ie copied behaviour. Let´s look at what is going on for you that makes anger your go-to and how to re-channel this misplaced energy into something more helpful.
