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.
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.
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.

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.
Anger is an important emotion that can give us information about how we respond to stress, how we experience our own sense of self and the messages we carry from our history. We may be explosive or have little relation to anger, thinking it is negative. I will work with you to discuss how to manage anger in your life and also to become clearer about your boundaries so you are also clearer about what is ok for you at work, in relationships and your life in general.
