Anger Management

Counselling

Anger is a natural and healthy emotion — it helps us set boundaries, protect ourselves, and take action when something feels unfair.
However, when anger becomes overwhelming, persistent, or difficult to control, it can affect relationships, work, and overall wellbeing.

At Self Growth Institute, our psychologists help you understand the causes of anger, learn practical tools to manage emotional reactions, and develop healthier ways to express your feelings.

When Anger Becomes a Problem

You might benefit from anger management counselling if you:

• Often feel on edge or easily frustrated

• Experience frequent outbursts or arguments

• Notice tension or fear in your relationships

• Have acted aggressively or damaged property in anger

• Experience physical symptoms such as high blood pressure or insomnia

Recognising when anger becomes difficult to manage is an important first step toward change and self-awareness.

Understanding Anger

Anger can develop from many influences — personality, upbringing, or learned coping patterns.
Some people are naturally more irritable, while others have learned to suppress anger due to early experiences or cultural norms.
Over time, this can lead to emotional buildup, anxiety, or even depression.
Therapy provides a safe space to explore these patterns and transform them into constructive responses.

How Therapy Can Help

Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, our psychologists help you:

• Identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns

• Develop calm, assertive communication skills

• Learn relaxation and mindfulness techniques

• Manage stress, triggers, and emotional intensity

• Build healthier coping mechanisms and habits

Our approach is collaborative and supportive — helping you gain emotional balance, resilience, and better relationships.

Simple Strategies You Can Start With

• Pause and take slow, deep breaths before responding

• Use positive self-talk to calm your mind

• Step away briefly to regain perspective

• Engage in regular exercise or relaxation activities like yoga

• Talk about your feelings in a supportive environment
