Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we take a modern, evidence-based approach to anger that goes beyond traditional "anger management," because the goal isn't simply to have less anger, but to develop anger mastery: the ability to express the right amount of anger, proportionately and appropriately, in response to what a situation actually calls for. We recognize that dysregulated anger can show up in two directions, whether as too much, leading to volatile relationships, workplace struggles, and loss of self-trust, or too little, leading to resentment, difficulty setting boundaries, and needs going unmet. Whether you find yourself frequently overwhelmed by anger or rarely able to access it at all, our therapists are skilled at identifying the underlying patterns and helping clients build the awareness and choice that lead to lasting, meaningful change.

Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Anger is a very legitimate and important emotion. We need anger, to help us set boundaries, honour our dignity, and heal from deep wounds. It is an emotion we need to honour within ourselves while finding ways to express it so we don’t hurt ourselves or anyone else.
In my practice we start by honouring the anger, even if we don’t understand where it comes from.
A lot of our anger is built up inside of us from childhood experiences or life events where we felt helpless and not in control. In therapy we get to the source of the anger and release the emotion safely allowing us to connect to the emotions the anger was being used to cover.

Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Anger is often a response to unresolved stress, emotional overload, or feeling unheard rather than a problem in itself. I support clients in understanding the underlying triggers behind anger, improving emotional regulation, and learning healthier ways to express difficult emotions. Through trauma-informed and practical strategies, we work toward building self-awareness, calming reactivity, and restoring a sense of control in daily interactions and relationships.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Anger usually gets a bad reputation, but it's rarely the real problem. It's almost always protecting something underneath, hurt, fear, a boundary that keeps getting crossed, or a need that isn't being met. I work with people to understand what their anger is actually about, so it stops feeling like something to suppress or be ashamed of and starts becoming useful information instead.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
While there are alot of anger management approaches out there that are focused on quieting the emotion, I believe it is far more effective to help provide the client with psychotherapeutic tools that can not only help increase awareness to the triggers, but learn how to channel the important relational energies of anger into more constructive behavior.

This approach helps you understand triggers, reduce emotional reactivity, and develop healthier ways to respond. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe, helping you gain greater control, calm, and balance in your daily life.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
I view anger not as a character flaw, but as a protective survival strategy that is often trying to signal a boundary or manage deep-seated pain. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in high-intensity mental health settings, I help you move beyond traditional 'control' techniques to understand the 'parts' of you that feel the need to erupt or protect.
By exploring the roots of this frustration and healing the underlying wounds—often shaped by early relationships—we work to transform reactive anger into a healthy, grounded sense of self-advocacy and emotional calm.

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising roughly half of the population and Mandarin and Cantonese widely spoken — creating a therapy community where demand for Chinese-language and culturally competent therapists far exceeds available supply. The city's proximity to Vancouver International Airport and its role as a gateway community for recent immigrants from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan shapes a therapy landscape particularly attuned to immigration stress, cross-cultural family dynamics, and the identity challenges of first-generation residents. Richmond Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that is increasingly building capacity in Chinese-language care. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains a significant barrier, and many therapists in Richmond invest considerable clinical energy in normalizing therapy as part of their work.
