This page offers a sense of common ways anger and emotions can become overwhelming, confusing, or hard to express, and how counselling can support understanding and regulation, as well as a greater choice in how you respond.
Anger is a normal and often protective emotion. When it becomes overwhelming, unpredictable, or hard to express safely, it can feel isolating and strain relationships. Learning to understand and work with anger is often key to healthier relationships and overall wellbeing.
Common experiences include:
Anger erupting unexpectedly or staying tightly bottled up
Feeling ashamed or guilty about emotional reactions
Avoiding conflict or becoming overwhelmed once it begins
Struggling to name emotions beyond anger, such as sadness or fear
Using anger to protect against vulnerability or hurt
Feeling disconnected from emotions or unsure what you’re feeling
Counselling here is about making sense of anger, noticing triggers, and developing ways to respond to emotions rather than being controlled by them. This work is not about suppressing anger, but about understanding it, regulating it, and discovering what it may be trying to protect.
If any of this resonates, you’re welcome to explore my approach further or consider a free initial conversation to see if this support feels right for you.
