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.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
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.

Wellington is New Zealand's compact capital city and home to the national public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government and policy careers — including burnout, moral injury, and the pressures of politically visible work. The city has a high concentration of university-educated professionals who generally view therapy as a normal part of self-care, and demand for longer-term therapeutic work is relatively strong. Wellington Regional Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, and the inner suburbs. Wellington's smaller size relative to Auckland means specialist therapist availability can be limited, and telehealth has become an important option for residents seeking a specific type of match.
