Counselling for Anger Management - 1:1 Online Programme

Is anger getting in the way of your relationships, or is it difficult to hold down a job? 

You may have stopped socialising, as you get involved in conflict each time you go out.

Living with anger impacts your mental and physical health, affecting the lives of those closest to you.

We all experience anger from time to time; it’s normal.   Anger alerts us to danger by activating the fight or flight response which floods our body with the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol.  Positively, these hormones provide us with a surge of energy so we can quickly take action to keep ourselves safe from danger. 

Anger becomes problematic when the fight or flight response is repeatedly activated when you are not in real danger, and the offence is released in a destructive way to yourself and others.

Anger is a secondary emotion, meaning there are primary emotions beneath anger.  If you think of an iceberg with anger above the surface, there can be many emotions, such as shame, frustration, sadness, injustice, and embarrassment underneath the surface.   

These emotions can be challenging to manage, and they can be suppressed for various reasons.  However, suppressed emotions cause many problems, such as anger, headaches, and anxiety.   Therefore, to successfully work with anger management issues, it is essential to work with what is beneath the offence, which is unique to each person.
