Understanding and managing anger
Anger is a natural emotion. It often arises when we feel frustrated, hurt, let down or under pressure, and it can be a signal that something matters to us.
But when anger feels too big, too quick, or hard to control, it can leave you feeling ashamed afterwards and put strain on relationships, work and family life. Sometimes anger sits on top of other feelings, such as stress, sadness or fear, that are harder to reach.
How therapy can help
Together, we can explore what sits underneath your anger, notice the early signs in your mind and body, and find calmer ways to respond that still honour what you’re feeling. This happens without judgement, and at your own pace.
Choosing how we work
There are three ways we can work together. You choose whichever feels right, and you can change your mind at any point: integrative work is flexible and built around your needs and wishes.
- Counselling on its own. Space to understand where your anger comes from and what it’s trying to tell you. I can weave in CBT, solution-focused approaches and mindfulness practices to help you notice the early signs and pause before reacting.
- Hypnotherapy on its own. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with guided relaxation in hypnosis, using positive suggestions to help lower overall stress so that it’s easier to stay calm.
- A mixture of both. For example, talking things through in counselling, with hypnotherapy sessions alongside or later on.
