Anger Management Counselling in Cornwall

Empowering Men in Cornwall: Evidence-Based Counselling to Transform Anger into Lasting Strength.

Anger Management

Is your anger causing problems in your life? Counselling could be a solution for you. I can help you to learn how to control your anger and to not lose control in challenging situations.

Is a problem with anger ruining your life?
  1. Have you ever been so angry that you want to lash out, throw things or shout at somebody?
  2. Perhaps the stress of work or day to day life builds to the point that you feel like screaming?
  3. Do you feel guilty or ashamed at feeling as though you want to kick the dog or you upset your children because they can be “irritating”?
  4. Maybe you feel guilty or ashamed at feeling as though you want to kick the dog or you upset your children because they can be “irritating”?

Why do we get angry, where does it come from and why is it bad?

I’m sure I speak for many people who’ve experienced their “blood boiling” as anger surges, the horrible feeling of being told you have “anger issues”. The thing is, anger is natural, it’s part of our natural defences, part of our instinct, so getting angry from time to time is unavoidable.

Anger is part of a system that alerts us to danger and help's us respond to threats, indeed, anger can be the stimulus to changing many aspect of our lives that we are unhappy with.

The problem arises when we can’t control our anger.

When we get angry, we trigger responses in our body that essentially make us ready for a fight; our heartbeat gets faster and adrenaline pumps around our body quicker.


The trouble is, intense levels of emotions over a prolonged period can lead to anxiety, depression, high blood pressure and a lower functioning immune system, amongst other problems.

Are you struggling to control your anger or keep a cool head? I can help.

What can be done and how can anger management counselling help me?

One of the toughest lessons I had to learn and probably the most important thing about anger management is that you can’t control situations that might make you angry. Things will happen that will make you angry.

But you can learn to be in control of your own thoughts, feelings and emotions and how you respond to those situations. You can learn not to shout at your children. You can learn not to be provoked by your partner. You can learn not to get frustrated at work.

With anger management counselling you can learn to handle all kinds of anger issues ranging from frustration that’s quite mild to violent outbursts of rage.

Real Client Story: Reframing Anger as a Messenger

Client Profile: "Sam", 42, logistics manager

Presenting Issue: Explosive outbursts at work and home

Approach: PCT, somatic awareness, and emotional literacy
Story

Sam arrived feeling ashamed and frustrated. His anger often erupted in ways that damaged relationships, yet he felt unheard and dismissed when he tried to express himself calmly. We explored the roots of his anger, tracing it to early experiences of being silenced. Using body-based techniques and cognitive reframing, Sam learned to recognise the physical cues of rising tension and to pause before reacting. We practiced assertive communication and built a toolkit for emotional regulation.

Outcome

Sam began responding rather than reacting. He rebuilt trust with his partner and colleagues, and described anger as “a signal, not a sentence.” Therapy helped him feel empowered rather than dangerous.


I work with anger by offering people a confidential, safe space to explore what triggers your anger and get to the bottom of your frustrations.

You’ll find as we explore your anger, we shed light on other emotions that may be troubling you too such as shame, fear, guilt and embarrassment. 

Take positive steps now for better anger management.

Frequently Asked Questions about Anger Management Counselling

Anger management counselling is a therapeutic process that helps individuals understand the causes of their anger and develop effective strategies to control and express their emotions constructively.

Counselling provides a supportive space where you can explore triggers, learn coping mechanisms, and develop healthier ways to manage anger, resulting in improved relationships and overall well-being.

Yes, therapy can be very helpful for managing anger issues. A therapist like me who specialises in anger management can provide a safe space to express feelings, explore triggers, and develop coping mechanisms. Therapy can help individuals understand the root causes of their anger and learn healthier ways to manage and express their emotions.

To manage anger, consider using techniques like deep breathing, relaxation exercises, and finding healthy ways to express your feelings. If anger is persistent or causing distress, seeking professional help from a counsellor like me who specialises in anger management can provide effective strategies for understanding and managing your anger.

Getting angry over small things can stem from various factors, including underlying mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety, emotional fatigue, or a lack of coping skills to manage stress and regulate emotions. Other potential causes include cumulative stress, feeling overwhelmed, or personality traits that make someone more sensitive to negativity. Additionally, environmental factors like noise or overcrowding can intensify anger responses.

Signs of anger issues include frequent irritability, difficulty controlling temper, and negative impacts on relationships and overall well-being. These signs can manifest as verbal or physical aggression, a low tolerance for minor issues, and intense emotional reactions.

You may feel angry quickly due to unresolved stress, past experiences, or difficulty expressing emotions in healthy ways. Anger often masks deeper needs, such as feeling unheard, overwhelmed, or powerless. Understanding your triggers and learning coping strategies can help you respond more calmly and confidently.  As an experienced anger management counsellor and therapist, I can help you with these issues.

Yes—change is absolutely possible. Anger issues often stem from patterns that feel automatic, but with the right support, they can be understood and reshaped. As an experienced anger management counsellor, I work with clients to uncover the triggers behind their anger, develop healthier responses, and build confidence in handling difficult situations. With structured weekly plans, lasting change becomes achievable.

Anger can surface as part of several mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and certain personality disorders. It’s often a signal—not just an emotion—linked to stress, trauma, or feeling misunderstood. As an experienced anger management counsellor, I help clients explore the emotional roots of their anger, identify patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping using integrative approaches like CBT, PCT, and Solution Focused Therapy. This process offers clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of control.

Extreme anger often feels uncontrollable, but it can be managed with the right support and tools. The first step is recognising patterns—what sets off the anger, how it escalates, and what keeps it going. As an experienced anger management counsellor, I help clients build emotional awareness, reshape automatic reactions, and practise healthier coping strategies. Through structured weekly sessions and integrative therapies like CBT, PCT, and Solution Focused Therapy, we work together to turn intense anger into constructive self-awareness and long-term emotional balance.
