Anger Therapy

Anger is often perceived as an explosive, dominating force, but it can also manifest in quieter, more passive forms. When left unexpressed, anger may be turned inward, leading to self-criticism, depression, or low self-esteem, or it may leak out into other areas of life, causing unintended harm to relationships and emotional wellbeing.

Anger often stems from feelings of loss, hurt, betrayal, or injustice. While it is frequently viewed as a negative emotion, anger can also serve a useful purpose, acting as a signal to help us identify boundaries and recognise what we find unacceptable. Some individuals openly express their anger, while others suppress it, sometimes without realising. Suppressed anger can often emerge indirectly, creating further emotional or physical challenges.

Therapy provides a supportive space to explore your relationship with anger and how it is expressed. It can help you understand what triggers your anger, uncover underlying causes, and develop healthier ways to express it. By learning to process anger constructively, you can minimise its potential to cause harm to yourself or others, fostering better emotional balance and resilience.
