Anger Management Perth
At William Macaulay Counselling Perth, I offer practical, evidence-based anger management support for adults whose anger is affecting their relationships, work, or overall wellbeing. While anger is a normal and healthy human emotion, it can become problematic when it is frequent, intense, or difficult to control.
You can choose between individual anger management counselling and a structured 6-session one-on-one anger management program. Both are designed to help you understand the underlying causes of your anger, regulate your emotions, and respond in healthier, more constructive ways.
Problematic anger may present as irritability, frustration, difficulty controlling your temper, emotional outbursts, or feelings of guilt and regret after reacting. Left untreated, it can affect your mental health, relationships, career, and overall quality of life. With the right support and practical strategies, lasting positive change is possible.
Located in Como, just minutes from the Perth CBD, I provide private and confidential anger management counselling in a safe, supportive environment where you can develop the skills to manage anger more effectively.

Anger Management Services in Perth
I offer two approaches to anger management, depending on what best suits your needs: a structured, education-based anger management program or individual anger management counselling.
The program is similar to a course. I lead most of each session, teaching practical strategies, tools, and techniques to help you understand, reduce, and manage your anger. Counselling is more conversational, giving you the opportunity to do most of the talking while we explore what is driving your anger and work through any underlying issues contributing to it.
Anger Management Program
The one-on-one anger management program consists of six one-hour sessions, scheduled weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. Each session is structured around developing your understanding of anger and teaching practical skills, including:
-
Understanding anger
-
Healthy versus destructive anger
-
Healthy, assertive communication
-
The connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviour (CBT)
-
The brain's role in anger
-
Relaxation and emotional regulation techniques
-
Practical anger management strategies
This program is ideal for people experiencing mild to moderate anger difficulties who want practical tools and strategies without necessarily exploring the deeper causes of their anger.
Anger Management Counselling
Individual anger management counselling is tailored to your unique circumstances, goals, and therapeutic needs. Rather than following a fixed structure, sessions are flexible and adapt as we progress. You will do much of the talking while we explore what is driving your anger and work through the underlying issues contributing to it.
This approach is often best suited to people whose anger is connected to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, personality factors, substance use, or long-standing emotional patterns. We address these underlying issues while also developing practical anger management skills, ensuring your treatment is tailored to your individual circumstances rather than a fixed program.

Strategies to build emotional awareness and improve regulation.

Practical tools to manage triggers and responses.

Relaxation and emotional regulation techniques.
