Anger Management

Anger Management Northern Rivers, NSW

Do you find yourself getting angry often? Do you have difficulty controlling your temper? Does rage frequently take over, leaving you feeling out of control and regretful? If so, you may benefit from anger management counselling.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion yet many of us have not learnt how to express this intense emotion in safe and helpful ways. We stuff our feelings down deep inside us hoping they will go away, but suppression is a pre-cursor to anger issues. 

If your anger, frustration, impatience, or resentment is persistent, becoming out of your control, or you are at loss to explain it then Anger management counselling can help you understand and control your anger.

Not dealing with your anger emotions in a safe and mature way will impact your life in severe and adverse ways. It causes significant pain and damage in relationships, disrupts, or destroys careers and can causes health issues, including chronic pain

What Is Anger Management Counselling?

Anger Management Byron Shire

Anger management counselling is a form of therapy aimed at helping people to understand and regulate their anger. It facilitates your grown and awareness so you can identify your triggers, feel your emotions, and communicate more effectively. 

Counselling teaches you to connect to what is going on below the surface of your thinking mind. When we re-connect to our senses, listen to the information our bodies provide and act early on these signs we accept our anger feelings without judgement and deal with them safely. 

Dealing with anger can be difficult, as we are unlearning old, maladaptive, and ingrained ways of coping, and building new healthy habits and behaviours. The work can be challenging but the rewards are immense. 

Counselling can help you understand your anger and find healthy ways to deal with it.

Anger Management Counselling FAQ’s

Anger management counselling is a supportive and confidential process where you work with a counsellor to understand your anger – what triggers it, how it affects your life, and how to express it in healthier ways. At Northern Rivers Counselling, our goal is to help you manage anger before it damages your relationships, work, or wellbeing.

If you often feel irritable, have trouble calming down, find yourself shouting, or experience conflict in relationships because of anger, counselling may help. You might also notice physical signs like tension, clenched fists, or a racing heart during arguments. These can be signals that extra support is needed.

The aim isn’t to get rid of anger completely – anger is a natural emotion. Instead, counselling helps you recognise the early signs, respond in ways that don’t harm you or others, and express your feelings constructively.

You might learn relaxation techniques, communication skills, problem-solving methods, and ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts. We’ll also work on identifying your personal triggers and building strategies to handle them calmly.

No – it’s for anyone who feels their anger is affecting their life in a negative way, whether or not it involves physical aggression. Many people seek support for verbal outbursts, resentment, frustration, or difficulty letting go of grudges.

Everyone is different. Some people notice improvements after a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll create a plan based on your goals and check in regularly on your progress.
