What we help with

Online therapy for anger

Anger is a normal emotion and often a useful one. It tells you a boundary has been crossed or something feels unfair. It becomes a problem when it comes out too fast, too strong or too often, or when it never comes out and turns into resentment.

Signs you might recognise

Underneath anger there is usually something else: stress, hurt, fear, shame or exhaustion. Therapy helps you catch it earlier and work on what is driving it.

Recognising yourself in a few of these does not mean something is wrong with you. It means it may be worth a conversation.

  • Going from calm to furious in seconds
  • Shouting, slamming or saying things you later regret
  • People around you walking on eggshells
  • Road rage or disproportionate reactions to small things
  • Bottling things up until you explode
  • Tension in your jaw, shoulders or chest much of the time

How therapy helps

Your therapist will suggest an approach based on what you want to change. Common ones include:

  • 1

    Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

    Spot your triggers and the thoughts that turn irritation into rage, and build a pause between feeling and acting.

    How it works

  • 2

    Emotion regulation skills

    Learn to read your body’s early warning signs and bring the intensity down.

  • 3

    Assertiveness work

    Say what you need clearly and early, so it does not have to come out as an explosion.

Three things you can try today

  1. Learn your first physical signal, such as heat or a tight jaw, and step away when it appears.
  2. Take twenty minutes before returning to the conversation. The body needs that long to settle.
  3. Ask afterwards: what was I feeling just before the anger?

Common questions

Is anger a mental health problem?

Anger is an emotion, not a diagnosis. It is worth getting help when it harms your relationships, work or health, or when you feel out of control.

What if I am worried I might hurt someone?

If you think you may hurt someone or you already have, please seek help now. Contact a crisis line or emergency services, and see our Get help now page. Therapy is for learning to manage anger and is not a substitute for immediate safety.
