Anger can be constructive when expressed in a healthy, appropriate manner or destructive when it gets out of control. People with anger problems usually have not learned ways to express their anger in a healthy manner. They may lash out uncontrollably or go to great lengths to contain their anger within themselves.
Contained, unexpressed anger can lead to pathological expressions of anger such as passive-aggressive behaviour, hostility and depression. Psychologists have believed for a long time that there is a link between depression and long-term unexpressed anger. If low mood and anger are a problem, you might want read more about depression counselling.
The term ‘anger management’ is slightly mis-leading. This phrase implies that the way to deal with anger is to learn to manage it. While managing anger is possible, counselling and psychotherapy seeks to determine the underlying causes of anger problems and resolve these. Your therapy will involve exploring the way you deal with anger and determining healthy, appropriate ways to express your angry feelings.
Therapy for anger issues can be open-ended and ongoing, or time-limited to 10 sessions. Appointments are held weekly.

Typically, men and women deal with anger differently. Our anger therapists take into account some of these differences as well as the specific anger issues you are experiencing, in order to help you through your anger problems.
Men are more likely than women to experience problems with anger control issues. This may be due to biological factors (including the male hormone, testosterone), social factors (men are expected to be dominant and aggressive) and possibly because many men feel more comfortable expressing anger than they do other feelings like hurt, loss, disappointment or confusion.
Women are more likely to have problems with unexpressed or contained anger. Some women feel they shouldn’t get angry, or that anger isn’t feminine, or they may not feel entitled to express feelings of anger with those around them. Women are much more likely to suppress anger and cope with anger-inducing experiences in other ways. This can lead to a number of psychological and emotional problems.
When I trained as a psychotherapist, me and my fellow students were given the assignment of doing something we’d never done before. The course tutors wanted us to get in touch with how scary it can be to do something new, to feel the fear of the unknown. I chose to …
