Anger is often a symptom of deep, unresolved feelings of hurt and pain. This can come out seemingly randomly, or feel bigger than the situation calls for and can leave you feeling confused, misunderstood, alone and so much more. By talking through behaviours you recognise now, we can look at root causes to see if we can find the reasons behind it. Facing anger can feel a bit intimidating, and seem to go against who you are, and by making sense of it you can bring about understanding and better ways of expressing your feelings.
Anger management often shows itself as frustration with lack of control over external circumstances as well as passing on pressures from others. My go-to on this is coaching based on Stoicism, particularly applying insights from Marcus Aurelius (e.g: "the consequences of anger often exceed the causes of it") and Seneca, who reminds us that emotional responses are rarely rational.

Anger is a normal emotional response, but it can become a problem when it starts to negatively impact your relationships at work and at home. It is also a response to feelings of hurt, frustration, and fear. I will work with you to identify your unmet needs and help you to develop strategies to meet those needs.
I have three years of experience facilitating groups for anger management. During the groups, I thought clients to identify and manage the symptoms of anger, understand the roots of anger and develop new behavioural patterns in stressful situations.
