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.
Have you noticed you’re triggered by people or situations, but you’re not quite sure why or how to deal with them? Do you find you can irrupt into outbursts of anger that seem uncontrollable and hard to manage? Are there things that have happened to you in the past that you think may be shaping your reactions to present events or situations?
Whether that reaction is physical, like breathlessness, bodily pain, anxiety, overwhelm and nervousness to verbal anger, aggression, rage, or sadness, these are just some of the many things that life throws at us, and they can often be complex issues to unravel. As your counsellor I will meet you where you’re at on your journey and hold a safe space to facilitate the changes required for self-understanding, compassion and awareness to gain a greater amount of peace, calm and certainty in your life.
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.

Anger management to me should be Anger Understanding. If you do not understand your anger there is no way to have agency over your anger outbursts. There is a lot of reasons for being in dysregulated state and through regular therapy you will learn to gain more peace in your life.
