Individual Perth Anger Management​​
​
Unlike group anger management courses, my individual counselling provides a safe, confidential space where we can work together to explore your triggers and develop effective strategies for managing anger. The program usually consists of six sessions, scheduled at times that suit your availability.​
​​​
Understanding Anger​​
​
Anger often comes from frustration caused by the perceived disrespectful, demeaning, threatening, or neglectful actions of others. It can also be a response to things not going as planned, perceived injustice, excessive worry about personal problems, or feeling hurt.
Anger, when expressed and managed in a healthy way, is a natural and generally healthy human emotion. However, uncontrolled and harmful displays of anger can greatly harm personal and professional relationships, physical health, and emotional well-being. Unmanaged anger can also lead to substance abuse, violent and aggressive behaviour, and possible legal issues.
​​​​​​
Managing Anger
​
Unmanaged anger may seem like a quick fix to make others comply with your requests, but it often causes long-term problems for yourself and those around you. Reacting with anger to solve issues can often make the anger itself become the problem. The person you're angry at may feel attacked instead of understanding what initially upset you. Throughout life, you'll face frustration, pain, loss, and unpredictable actions from others. While you can't change these events, you can change how you respond and let them affect you.

​
​​Effective Anger Management Strategies
​
Anger management involves recognising triggers and early warning signs of anger, and developing skills to control your reactions before they escalate.
Common early warning signs:
-
Muscular tension
-
Flushing or feeling heat in the face
-
Increased heart rate, breathing, or sweating
-
Sudden bursts of energy​​​​
​​​Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for Anger Management in Perth​​​​​​​​
​​​
While the above-mentioned strategies can help calm anger in the moment, they may not address the root causes of excessive anger. That's where cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) comes in. CBT is a highly effective psychological treatment that focuses on understanding how your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes shape your emotions and behaviour. Through CBT, individuals work with a trained psychologist, psychotherapist, or counsellor, such as myself, to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. Together, we develop healthier and more effective coping skills for dealing with various problems and managing anger.​ Learn more about cognitive behavioural therapy.
