many faces of anger
Understanding Anger Issues
Anger can be explosive, but it can also be quiet – held inside, turned against oneself, or disguised as irritability, control, or withdrawal.
It can show up as sudden outbursts, frustration at small things, or an ongoing sense of tension beneath the surface.
Every person’s anger has its own story.
For some, anger hides pain or fear. For others, it protects against disappointment, shame, or feeling powerless.
It can also be a way of holding on – to pride, safety, or a sense of being right.
Therapy provides a secure space to understand what anger is expressing, what it protects, and what it might be asking to change.

it functions
What lies beneath relationship anger?
Anger rarely stands alone, and is always unique to each person.
It often functions as a defence – a shield for emotions that feel too vulnerable or overwhelming to face directly.
Sometimes, it covers sadness, loss, or guilt.
At other times, it arises when boundaries have been crossed but never spoken.
In this way, anger can be both destructive and meaningful – a signal of where something inside has not been heard.
Therapy helps you explore the origins and function of anger in your life, beginning the process of working through what it represents.

transforming conflict
How does therapy help for anger issues?
Therapy offers a safe space to speak freely, without judgement or the need to disguise emotion.
By understanding and working through what drives your anger, you can begin to relate to it differently – as something to listen to, not be ruled by.
As this understanding deepens, anger can lose its grip, making room for clearer communication, self-respect, and calm.
It’s not about suppressing emotion, but transforming the way it’s felt and expressed.
Our psychotherapists work sensitively and in depth, helping you develop awareness and compassion for the feelings anger once had to protect.
