Impulse Control
Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: CBT, DBT-informed emotion regulation, mindfulness and emotion-focused approaches.
I help clients identify the emotions, thoughts, situations, and triggers that precede impulsive behaviours. Therapy focuses on increasing the pause between urge and action, strengthening distress tolerance, developing alternative coping strategies, and understanding the underlying emotional needs.

Impulse Control
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with impulse control, you may find yourself acting quickly in ways you later regret. Whether it is spending, gambling, explosive reactions, sexual behaviours, or other urges, the pull can feel intense and immediate. You may promise yourself it will not happen again, only to feel caught in the same cycle. Over time, this can lead to shame, damaged relationships, and a loss of confidence in your own self-control.
At Selah Counselling, we approach impulse control disorders with compassion and structure. Impulsivity is often connected to nervous system dysregulation, unmet emotional needs, trauma, or difficulty tolerating distress. Together, we work to slow the cycle down. We strengthen awareness of triggers, build distress tolerance skills, and develop practical strategies that increase pause and choice. Our goal is not simply to stop behaviours, but to help you understand what is driving them and to build the internal steadiness that supports lasting change. You can learn to respond intentionally rather than impulsively.

Impulse Control
Havenwood Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
When emotions become intense, it can feel difficult to pause before reacting. Impulsive behaviours can create problems in relationships, work, finances, or other areas of life and may leave you feeling frustrated or ashamed afterward.
Taylor offers a non-judgmental space to explore the emotions, triggers, and protective patterns that can contribute to impulsive behaviour. Therapy can help you build greater awareness and develop practical strategies for responding with more choice and intention.

Impulse Control
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Impulse control disorders often stem from trauma, unmet needs, or difficulties with emotional regulation. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore impulses without judgment. Through co-regulation and expanding the window of tolerance, impulses gradually soften, helping clients experience them without acting on them and develop greater self-awareness and control.

Winnipeg's long, harsh winters and geographic isolation contribute to elevated rates of seasonal depression and mood challenges, and therapists with expertise in SAD and long-term mood management serve a genuine clinical need. The city has the highest proportion of Indigenous residents of any major Canadian city, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit clients — including work on intergenerational trauma from residential schools — are a critically important part of the local mental health landscape. Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg provides major institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community serving River Heights, St. Vital, and St. Boniface. Winnipeg's working-class and multicultural character shapes a therapy culture that values pragmatism, community belonging, and directness.
