While those struggling with depression or anxiety are typically treated with sympathy and understanding, when it comes to those with anger issues, the same is rarely true.
However, anger can also be rooted in poor mental health and as such should also be approached with the same level of compassion. Dealing with anger and finding strategies for coping with intense emotions or feelings that trigger angry outbursts is essential to both the sufferer and those around them.
Speaking with a psychologist for anger issues can help you identify the cause of these and work towards a happier, more fulfilling life free of regret over anger and rage. Everyone experiences anger at times, however, if it is causing you to express yourself in ways that hurt yourself, others or objects this is not okay.
We're here to help

Frequently Asked Questions
Thinking about taking the next step?
Anger rarely gets the same compassion as anxiety or depression, but it deserves the same care and help is available. These are some of the questions we hear most often from people considering counselling for anger management. If something’s still on your mind, our friendly team is always just a phone call or email away.
We often get asked...:
Is anger considered a mental health condition?
Anger itself is not considered a mental health condition and is a natural emotion that is typically viewed as neither good nor bad. However, extreme or uncontrolled anger that causes you to hurt yourself or others can be a symptom of an underlying mental health concern and must be addressed appropriately.
Are all sessions confidential?
Yes. Australian psychologists follow strict ethical guidelines outlined in the APS Code of Ethics. This means they must protect your privacy and not disclose anything that is discussed during your sessions to anyone.
However, if there are any concerns about your immediate safety or that of others or where they are legally obliged to disclose a crime, your psychologist may need to breach confidentiality.
Do I have to attend therapy sessions in person?
No, at Port Phillip Psychology, we know that finding a psychologist for anger management issues near you or with suitable booking times is not always easy. To help in overcoming these challenges in accessing care we offer sessions over the phone and via Telehealth with a mixture of session times available both in and outside of standard business hours.
