Anger Counselling in Bromley
Do you find yourself snapping, losing patience quickly or feeling anger build up inside you until it explodes?
Maybe you bottle things up until something small pushes you over the edge.
Or you get angry fast and afterwards feel guilt, shame or confusion about what happened.
Anger isn’t the real problem, it’s a signal.
Often, it’s linked to stress, overwhelm, past experiences, or emotional needs that haven’t been met for a long time.
I’m Mark, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor in Bromley, and I specialise in helping people understand and manage anger in a healthier, more compassionate way.
How Anger Might Be Showing Up for You
You might notice:
-
Snapping at people you care about
-
Feeling irritable, wound up or easily triggered
-
Bottling feelings up then “blowing”
-
Struggling to stay calm when stressed
-
Feeling embarrassed or regretful afterwards
-
Getting overwhelmed by pressure
-
Feeling misunderstood or not listened to
-
Shutting down or withdrawing after conflict
If this sounds familiar, you’re not a bad person, you’re someone who hasn’t had the space to unpack what’s really going on.
What Might Be Underneath Your Anger
Anger almost always protects something softer underneath, hurt, sadness, fear, exhaustion or past experiences where you weren’t allowed to express yourself.
You may have grown up needing to stay strong, defend yourself, or hide what you really felt.
Or perhaps recent pressures have simply become too much.
In counselling we look gently beneath the surface, helping you understand what your anger is communicating.
