Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
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. Interestingly anger is the only left-hemisphere emotion.
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.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Anger can feel like it takes over — a switch that flips before you've even decided to let it, followed by guilt or regret once it's passed. If anger is costing you relationships, peace of mind, or the person you want to be, let's work together to help you understand and reshape your relationship with it.
The first step in working with anger is understanding that anger itself isn't the enemy — it's often a signal pointing to something underneath: hurt, fear, exhaustion, unmet needs. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore what's really driving your reactions and build tools to respond instead of react. My approach focuses on self-awareness, accountability, and self-compassion, helping you feel more in control and more at peace.
You don't have to keep fighting this alone. Let's take the first step toward calmer ground and steadier relationships.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of anger issues and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner anger better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying trauma without the need to discuss the details of the trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of shame behind.
My aim is to assist you with your anger difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using the various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods) along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Dipak Jilka - Psychotherapist & Counsellor
Therapist, Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) – PACFA Reg. Clinical 26570
Anger is often viewed as a bad and taboo emotion in our society. However, I believe anger is a very useful and important emotion to be explored. Anger is not merely as a symptom to suppress, but as a meaningful, often "daimonic" (inner force, neither good nor evil) reaction to life’s limitations, lack of meaning, or loss of freedom. I invite you to come and explore your unique experience of anger and find the deeper meaning for you. If you are challenged with managing your anger, I will work with you on approaches to regulate you anger and to suppress it.
