Anger is a normal emotion which we all feel from time to time. In fact, anger is a normal and very useful emotion when we are experiencing abuse or injustice as it is fuel for us to make a positive change in our lives. Conversely, anger can be an extremely destructive emotion which can cause irreparable harm, it can push the people you care about the most away and leave you feeling very alone. When anger is not managed properly it can ruin your life, your view of yourself, your relationships, your career, etc. Anger is often an emotion we witnessed growing up, and it is often a repeated pattern for coping with our deeper emotions, for example fear. We will help you break these destructive patterns and help you express your emotions in a clear, healthy way that draws people closer to you rather than away.

What is Anger Management Therapy and Counselling?

We know one of the most important factors for success in therapy is your relationship with your psychotherapist. We provide free consultations to ensure you feel comfortable right away, and if for some reason you don’t feel connected, we have another member of the team waiting to have a consultation with you.

We describe anger as a secondary emotion, in other words, it covers-up what we are really feeling deep down. To break the patterns of unhealthy anger, we will show you how to access your primary (deep) feelings and learn to express them in a healthy way. We will help you identify and replace any unhelpful thoughts (cognitions). We will also help you identify when your body warns you of the onset of anger in order to disrupt that pattern of reaction and aggression.

When and Why to Seek Treatment?

Your gut may have been telling you to seek help for a long time but you’ve been talking yourself out it, or may have had multiple loved ones complain about your behaviour, or you may have had an incident at work, road rage, etc. If anger is impacting the relationships in your life that you value the most, it is time to seek help and break these patterns once and for all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is therapy confidential?

Absolutely. Psychotherapy is built on the foundation of confidentiality. As professionals, it is our responsibility to ensure that we do everything we can reasonably do to ensure your anonymity. If you choose virtual sessions, be assured that we only use the professional version of Zoom which has professional level security.

How long does therapy take?

In the same way that it has taken time to develop patterns that don’t work, it takes time to break these patterns and create new ones. But many clients start to feel better after the first session. Clients can expect to can new insights, identify their patterns and interrupt them after 4-6 sessions. We do not believe in quick fixes since quick fixes never last, in the same way a crash diet is only temporary. We believe that changing one’s patterns has the potential for creating generational change, so doing the hard emotional and behavioural work pays off over time.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes. Every member of our team offers virtual sessions, so no matter which day of the week works for you, one of our team members will be available for you.
