Anger Management

Anger Management Counselling

Anger, though it has its place, may express itself inappropriately, either towards others or yourself. We cannot control anger provoking situations, but we can manage our attitudes to them. Anger management counselling will look straight to the sources of your anger to get it in context. We then put strategies in place to manage it and to minimize anger confrontation or self harm.

About Anger:

  • It is natural
  • It is rarely a useful emotion
  • It is a reaction to feeling threatened in some way
  • It can be treated by learning new responses to the events it.

Symptoms:

  • Hostility
  • Explosive outbursts
  • Tense muscles
  • Clenched fists or jaw
  • Aggressive behaviour
  • Refusal to follow directions or orders
  • Social withdrawal
  • Verbal abuse
  • Bad tempered irritable
  • Sleep difficulties

Addiction to Drugs

• The counsellor is experienced in a harm reduction/minimisation approach to substance misuse. Each client will have their own particular set of goals, which can be reviewed, if necessary, as work progresses.
• The importance of addressing underlying issues is acknowledged. This may be painful work. By supporting clients in working through these issues, the risks of relapse can be reduced.

• A humanistic approach is used, guided by individual needs rather than a set programme. Unconscious and concious patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving may be discovered that can help break the pattern of substance misuse.
• Having a confidential and safe space in which to work on personal issues is considered fundamental.
• The counselling relationship itself is seen as central to this work. A trusting working alliance can help in many ways, including reducing feelings of isolation and alienation.
