In my anger management therapy, I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care to help individuals understand, control, and transform their anger. Through IFS, we explore the internal emotional landscape, recognizing various 'parts' that contribute to anger, while EMDR helps in processing and reducing the impact of past traumas. Mindfulness techniques develop self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also focus on identifying triggers and underlying emotions, teaching skills like relaxation methods, effective communication, and problem-solving. This comprehensive approach fosters emotional regulation, impro

Anger can be a reaction to a range of experiences, from past traumas to present-day stressors, and EMDR can help to desensitize and reprocess these experiences, reducing the intensity of the emotional response. Through the use of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR can help to process the distressing memories and emotions, leading to increased emotional regulation and a greater sense of control over one's emotional response. By addressing the underlying emotional triggers, EMDR can help to alleviate symptoms of anger and promote more adaptive coping strategies.

If a client comes to me with anger management, I would approach them with curiosity and examine the root cause of the anger. Depending on the source of the anger, I would determine what type of approach to use. For example if the anger was caused by a specific event, if the client agrees, we would explore that specific event in detail, as well as practical strategies to manage the existing anger. Approaches I use are Alderian therapy or EFT for treatment.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion that needs to occur in a controlled manner. Yes, we all get mad but it is the action and words that need special attention. When it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems. These problems occur at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. I will help you create strategies and goals to mange your anger.

Our anger can be a sentry, a protector and a wise indicator that our boundaries have been transgressed or that something vitally important to us is threatened. It can also be a raging tyrant, a short fuse, a simmering internalisation that off-gases through passive-aggression, or a childish tantrum. Becoming intimate with our anger is synonymous with becoming intimidate with our power. In anger therapy, we will work to understand the unique way your anger process happens through somatic awareness, mindfulness and emotional intimacy. We will look at your history with anger, your family lineage, and you will learn tools to channel this fire in ways that support rather than hinder your life.

Anger is an emotion that can dominate how we automatically react to situations and frustrations when it feels we are not in control. Sometimes anger is overwhelming for the person feeling the anger and for the others around them and can negatively impact relationships and life goals. I explore with clients the root of the anger and then collaboratively develop strategies and alternative intentional approaches to improve effective emotional processing.

Anger from time to time is a normal healthy emotion. When that anger turns into rage or verbal/physical aggression, besides being unhealthy, is a signal of a problem requiring help. Unhealthy anger expression can lead to disease development like heart disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure etc. This anger/rage is abusive to yourself and others and can separate you from family, friends, fellow workers. For those wtih generalized anger, and who want to change. we offer specific clinical approaches such as talk therapy and EFT coupled with education and monitoring of progress to meet your goals.

My approach is to use a step-by-step process that follows an evidence based approach: goal setting; self awareness; cognitive reframing; behavioural modification; review of progress. Fundamental to the work is a good therapeutic relationship. That is, we have the collaboration and trust to combine your knowledge of yourself and your situation and my skills and knowledge of the clinical issues to make change happen.

The cost of Anger is enormous! It affects not only everyone around you, but also affects your own health. If you are looking for a counsellor to help you with anger management, you probably already know this. If you have grown tired of the emotional, physical and financial toll that anger takes, you have come to the right person. I can help you learn the skills that you need to understand your anger and to regulate it so that you can meet your needs more effectively. You will also learn what it takes to protect and rebuild relationships that have been damaged through venting your anger. If you are ready to take responsibility for making changes for the better in your life, contact me.

Anger and violence are wildly misunderstood issues. I believe that it is important to explore the context in which the anger or violence occurs. For example, does it happen at home, or at work, or in public? Who is impacted by the anger or violence? How do the individuals who are impacted resist and respond to the anger/violence? Through counselling we will explore the context of the interactions. Once we understand the context (who is doing what to who?) I will respectfully invite responsibility taking and strategies for more helpful communication and responses.
