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.

Often an anger management problem occurs alongside depression, or feelings of stress and burnout. I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy which is one of the main recommended psychological therapies for depression. Often clients don't feel depressed, but have another area of difficulty such as a physical health condition, ADHD or addictions. I’m experienced in supporting clients who have found previous counselling, psychotherapy or medication to be ineffective or unhelpful.

Anger is often a misunderstood and feared emotion, both to feel it within yourself and from others. I specialise in helping a person to understand their anger; why it's there, what it's for, and how they can manage and tolerate it.
Allowing anger to be present and understanding what the real need may be underneath can be supportive in working with anger and using it as a beautiful ally rather than a destructive force.
We work with clients struggling with anger issues. This might be impacting on areas such as relationships, road rage or work and social situations. We will provide you with Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction techniques and tools. We can also give you hypnotherapy sessions to release and resolve underlying anger issues.
