Counselling
Anger in the therapy room
Rage that leaks at home, or never arrives at all — Katie Green on working with anger without shaming it.
What this can look like
A snap at the people you love. A jaw that never unclenches. Or the opposite — niceness as a full-time job, and a body that pays the bill.
How counselling can help
Anger is information. We look at what it is protecting, and how to use it without harming you or anyone else. This is not a course in punching pillows. If there is violence in the home, we talk honestly about safety.
When it is more than counselling
If you or someone else is at risk of harm, that is not a counselling secret — I will explain limits at the start. Immediate danger is 999.
