Anger grips us. It feels like it rises out of no where and it can ruin our lives.
Much of the anger we feel, especially in relationships, can mask deeper, more complex emotions that may be difficult to identify or express. These underlying feelings often arise from unmet needs, painful past experiences, or emotions we've learned to avoid or deny, especially if we’ve faced rejection or judgment when expressing ourselves.
Anger can feel like a tightly wound spring, set off by the smallest of triggers. Yet, the frustration often has little to do with the immediate situation—it’s more likely a reaction rooted in unresolved experiences. Over time, this pattern can become a go-to coping strategy.
Our Approach to Anger Management
We start by establishing coping tools to support you as we gradually explore these difficult emotions together. This process involves gently dipping into challenging feelings, then retreating to rest with your coping strategies. Progress is entirely at your pace; we go only as deep as you’re comfortable with, prioritizing your readiness for each step.
With careful guidance, you’ll uncover insights into your anger, developing ways to manage it and communicate more effectively in relationships. You’ll learn techniques for navigating overwhelming emotions, understanding the oncoming surge of anger, and finding pathways toward forgiveness and peace.

Ongoing Therapy: You know you want to spend some time on getting to the real issues behind what has been plaguing you for a while. You have done enough self-diagnoses and things haven’t gotten easier for you!
You play an active role in on-going therapy, and the focus may shift between exploring emotions, thoughts, and behaviours over time. Ongoing therapy provides a more comprehensive approach to understanding, what brought you to counselling and how earlier events in life have contributing to how and what you are feeling today.
You can start with a Single ON-LINE Therapy Session and decide to create some longer term goals from there.

We won't just skim the surface. My approach is to delve deeply into the root causes of these feelings and experiences. We'll explore the underlying factors that contribute to and blocks and obstacles facing your unique journey of a happy and successful life. This might involve looking at past experiences, unresolved traumas, and the beliefs you hold about yourself and the world around you. It also includes creating a unique narrative of what you truly find to be successful and to feel proud of where you are today. Seeing your story in a new light.
