Anger Management & Emotional Regulation

I can help with anger and anger-related difficulties – whether you feel overwhelmed by emotional outbursts, struggle with irritability or frustration, experience sudden surges of anger, or find yourself holding anger inside.

Understanding Anger Management & Emotional Regulation

Anger is a natural human emotion that arises when we feel threatened, hurt, mistreated, or when our boundaries are crossed. In this sense, anger can serve an important purpose, helping us recognise when something does not feel right for us.

Anger can become difficult to manage when it feels too intense, frequent, or hard to control, or when it is expressed in ways that cause distress to yourself or others. You may find yourself lashing out verbally or physically, feeling constantly annoyed or on edge, or supressing anger until it builds into resentment, shame, or self-criticism. At times, anger may also feel safer or more familiar to express than emotions that involve vulnerability, such as sadness or fear.

Therapy for Anger Management & Emotional Regulation

Because anger affects everyone differently, therapy is shaped around your unique experiences, needs, and goals. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore your relationship with anger, make sense of your emotional responses, and begin to experience greater awareness and choice in how you relate to them.  

Together, we will look at what triggers your anger and how it shows up, identifying patterns of reaction and response that feel difficult, overwhelming, or out of control. Alongside this, we will develop coping strategies and practical skills to support emotional regulation, helping you stay connected to yourself in moments of intensity, communicate your needs more clearly, and respond more thoughtfully in challenging situations.

Therapy is not about getting rid of anger, but about understanding it and relating to it differently. As this work deepens, it can also help you access and process emotions that may sit beneath anger. Over time, this supports you in expressing anger in ways that feel safer, more contained, and more aligned with your values and the relationships that matters to you.
