Have you noticed you’re triggered by people or situations, but you’re not quite sure why or how to deal with them? Do you find you can irrupt into outbursts of anger that seem uncontrollable and hard to manage? Are there things that have happened to you in the past that you think may be shaping your reactions to present events or situations?
Whether that reaction is physical, like breathlessness, bodily pain, anxiety, overwhelm and nervousness to verbal anger, aggression, rage, or sadness, these are just some of the many things that life throws at us, and they can often be complex issues to unravel. As your counsellor I will meet you where you’re at on your journey and hold a safe space to facilitate the changes required for self-understanding, compassion and awareness to gain a greater amount of peace, calm and certainty in your life.
Allowing anger to be present and understanding what the real need may be underneath can be supportive in working with anger and using it as a beautiful ally rather than a destructive force.

Anger is just about the only emotion that's socially acceptable for men to show. Most other emotions are beaten or shamed out of them. And it's an emotion that most women aren't allowed and are shamed for having.
Anger is just an emotion, like every other emotion.
The way I see it, when anger is disowned and dumped on the people around us it doesn't serve anyone. When anger is owned, and felt, and taken responsibility for however, it can open up our strength and our passion.
I believe in emotional management as opposed to anger management. Its important to understand that anger is often linked to other emotions & can be triggered by these linked emotions, as well as value based conflicts. I have extensive experience in working with people in this area.
