Therapy is hard work.
Anger and stress management therapy is a form of counselling that helps individuals understand and respond to intense emotions in healthier ways. It often involves identifying triggers, exploring underlying causes, and developing practical coping strategies. Therapists may draw on cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices, or other approaches tailored to individual needs.
This type of therapy may be helpful for anyone who experiences frequent frustration, difficulty controlling anger, or chronic stress that interferes with relationships, work, or daily well-being. It can also support those navigating major life transitions, workplace pressures, or situations that consistently feel overwhelming.
Sessions typically involve talking through specific situations, examining thought patterns, and practising new responses. A therapist may introduce relaxation techniques, communication skills, or problem-solving strategies. The approach varies depending on individual goals and the therapist's methods, but the focus is generally on building lasting skills for emotional regulation.
The length of therapy varies based on individual circumstances and goals. Some people find short-term work helpful for addressing specific challenges, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist can help you assess progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Finding the right fit is an important part of the process. On First Session, you can watch therapist intro videos to learn about their background, style, and areas of focus before booking. Many people find it helpful to have an initial conversation to see if the connection feels supportive and comfortable.
Booking is straightforward on First Session. Browse therapist profiles, watch their intro videos, and select a time that works for you. You can book directly online without needing to call or email. Therapists set their own rates and availability, so you can find options that suit your schedule and budget.
