Anger is a natural emotion, but when it becomes overwhelming or hard to control, it can harm relationships, work, and overall well-being. In anger management counselling, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore the underlying causes of anger, such as stress, unresolved hurt, or unmet needs. Together, we identify triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and practice effective communication skills to express feelings constructively. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with emotional awareness, helping clients reduce reactivity, improve self-control, and build more positive, respectful connections in their personal and professional lives.

Anger, frustration, rage, and reactivity overall, can make a person feel frustrated and powerless; when we have emotional outbursts of any kind they can feel so all-encompassing and make us feel like we are not in control of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. In working with clients on their emotions I aim to primarily promote an understanding of why our emotional outbursts occur; once this has been established we begin to work on how to manage, mitigate, or change how these outbursts occur, or why we feel the way that we feel in the first place.

Anger can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, or difficult to control. It often masks deeper emotions like hurt, fear, or powerlessness. If anger is straining your relationships or impacting your wellbeing, we can work together to explore its root causes, understand what it’s trying to communicate, and develop healthier, more constructive ways to manage and express intense emotions.

Anger is a common and useful emotional reaction. However, there are times when anger is excessive or extreme and controls a person to the point that it is hurtful to them, their life, and their loved ones. I work with clients to understand their experience of anger, learn to identify potential triggers and underlying issues, and develop coping skills to manage these issues and emotions. Clients will learn relaxation or calming strategies, how to communicate to reduce angry outbursts, problem solving skills, and how to alter negative thinking which may be contributing to the anger. This often results in clients feeling happier, more relaxed, and having improved relationships.

We use dialectical behaviour therapy as our main approach to emotion regulation and anger management issues. We will explore skills including distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness to suit your needs in managing emotional distress. It can be helpful to explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions and behaviours in understanding how to restructure our ineffective patterns.

Therapy for anger management can be helpful for both your close relationships and the workplace. Therapy integrates strategies to regulate emotion, tolerate distress, and express frustrations in a manner that is respectful. If your anger difficulties occur exclusively within the context of a romantic relationship, couple’s therapy or therapy with a couple’s therapist can be particularly helpful. New Leaf Psychology Centre also offers anger management therapy for children and youth.

Anger management is about anger understanding first. Why are we angry? I will help clients' seeking assistance with anger by creating a safe space to explore the anger, to process it, and understand it. We can't seek to manage it if we don't understand what is really happening for us. Through pattern exploration of experiences with anger, we can process and navigate the emotion and work together to manage it.

Anger is a valid emotion—but when it starts to harm relationships or disrupt daily life, it’s time to get curious, not ashamed. We work with you to understand the deeper feelings underneath the anger—like hurt, fear, or betrayal—and help you build healthier ways to express and regulate those emotions. Therapy gives you space to pause, reflect, and respond instead of react. Our goal is to help you gain control without losing your voice.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

Anger can feel intense and uncontrollable—but it doesn’t have to take the lead. In therapy, we slow things down to understand what’s really fueling your anger. Together, we’ll explore your triggers, patterns, and the deeper emotions beneath the surface. With proven tools and compassionate support, you can learn to pause, reflect, and choose how to respond—instead of reacting on autopilot.

My approach to anger management counseling helps clients understand the underlying causes of their anger and develop healthier coping mechanisms. I use techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises to help clients recognize triggers, challenge negative thoughts, and manage emotional responses. Clients benefit by gaining better control over their anger, improving communication skills, and learning to express themselves constructively. This leads to reduced conflict, improved relationships, and a more peaceful, balanced life.

Feeling Anger is a normal response to being wronged in some way or having our boundaries crossed. Anger can help us stand up for ourselves, or we can use it to protect and advocate for others. Anger is healthy and good. But how we choose to express our anger directly shapes what comes next. Does my response hurt or scare myself or someone close to me? Do I feel in control of my actions? Does my response bring me closer to my core values, or is it a barrier between who I am today and who I’d like to be? Learning to manage our response to intense emotions can give us great insights into our motivations, desires, and patterns of living. Call today to start this important reflection work.

I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for managing anger in healthy, constructive ways. Using therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, I help you understand the root causes of your anger and develop practical skills to regulate intense emotions. Together, we create a safe space to explore triggers, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build healthier communication and coping strategies. My goal is to empower you to express anger effectively, reduce conflict, and foster greater emotional balance and well-being in your relationships and daily life.

Understanding the roots of your anger can go a long way to empowering you to respond in ways that best suit the situation, leaving you feeling satisfied and content, rather than reacting in ways that feel the most relieving in that moment but leave you regretting your behavior, long after the event. I can help you learn to express your feelings more appropriately and take back the power that anger has had over you in the past.

Anger is a common emotion that can come easy to us and can feel quite powerful. Our anger can often help us identify when something doesn’t sit right with us, when we feel like our needs are not being met, or like situations pose some level of injustice towards us. However, it is what we do with this anger that can make all the difference in how we cope, experience, and navigate situations. As a therapist, I will never tell you how to express your anger, but rather I will empower you to manage it in a way that fits best for you and your life. Connect with me today for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

My approach to anger management focuses on helping clients understand the deeper emotions and triggers behind their anger, while also learning healthier ways to cope and respond. Together, we explore patterns, stressors, and underlying feelings such as hurt, fear, or frustration that may fuel anger. I integrate evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, and emotion regulation strategies to build awareness and self-control. Clients benefit by developing practical skills to manage reactions, improve communication, and foster healthier relationships.

I tailor anger management treatment to the unique needs and life situation of each client. What distinguishes my approach is that I do not simply counsel people on how to act, nor do I gloss over the real source of the problem. This would be akin to putting a band-aid over a gaping wound. I know that the only way to effectively make a permanent and recognizable change is to address the root cause of what is fueling a person's rage, explosiveness, and destructive behaviour. I treat people with sensitivity and compassion surrounding their emotional vulnerabilities and difficulties that cause their disruptive affect, which negatively impacts their lives and work collaboratively.
