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.
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.

In many cases, relational psychotherapy can be particularly useful in overcoming anger issues, particularly on the one-to-one basis that I employ in my private practice.
Professionally, I always recognise that when a client acknowledges that s/he has a possible problem with an emotional imbalance and wishes to actively seek assistance to change, then this is a very positive first step towards solving the anger issues.

Anger is a valid emotion just like joy or sadness. It gets a bad reputation because of what people do when they are angry, not the anger itself. We all have a choice when it comes to our emotions of what action we are going to take. Let's learn together how to feel and understand your anger without acting it out in a way that hurts you and others.

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.

Experiencing anger can be a normal healthy emotion. But it can cause problems if it becomes a default emotion or, the opposite, an emotion that is completely withheld and unexpressed.
Anger can cloud your ability to think clearly, make you act impulsively, make you physically or verbally aggressive and violent towards people or make you distance yourself from others. It can affect you, your family, personal and professional relationships.
Therapy can help with anger as it gives you a place where you won’t be judged and where you can express yourself fully. We would look at links and possible triggers, explore healthy ways to manage anger and find ways to overcome the default of overwhelming emotion, helping you experience life in a healthier way.
