Why do I feel like this?
Feeling this way can be unsettling, but it’s quite common. Emotions like frustration or anger often arise for a few reasons:
Accumulated Stress
Unmet Expectations
Lack of Control
Physical and Mental Fatigue
Underlying Emotions
Environmental Triggers
How does therapy help?
Therapy plays a vital role in managing anger by helping individuals understand its root causes and develop healthier coping strategies. Through therapy, people learn to identify triggers, regulate emotional responses, and communicate effectively without aggression. Further explanations as to how therapy can assist with managing anger include:
Identifying Triggers
Therapy helps individuals recognise situations, thoughts, or feelings that spark anger. Understanding these triggers is the first step towards controlling emotional reactions and preventing impulsive behaviour.
Developing Coping Strategies
Therapists teach practical techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, and reframing thoughts. These strategies reduce stress and allow individuals to respond calmly instead of reacting aggressively.
Improving Communication Skills
Therapy encourages assertive communication rather than hostility. Learning to express needs respectfully helps reduce conflicts and strengthens relationships, fostering mutual understanding and trust.
Managing Underlying Issues
Anger often masks deeper emotions like fear or sadness. Therapy uncovers these underlying issues, addressing them directly to reduce anger’s intensity and frequency.
Building Emotional Regulation
Therapy trains individuals to pause and reflect before reacting. This self-control prevents escalation, promotes rational thinking, and supports healthier emotional balance in challenging situations.
Enhancing Problem-Solving Skills
Therapy equips individuals with constructive problem-solving techniques. By focusing on solutions rather than blame, it reduces frustration and promotes positive outcomes in personal and professional life

FAQ
Q1. What happens in the first session? Do I need to prepare?
Your first appointment is 50–60 minutes. We’ll get to know you—what’s been hard, what you’d like to change, and what’s helped before. You’re welcome to bring notes or just come as you are; we’ll go at your pace. Please complete the online intake and consent forms beforehand. Sessions are available in person (Sydney) or via secure telehealth across Australia. We’ll finish with a clear plan and time for your questions. If you’re in immediate danger, call 000.
Q2. How do fees and Medicare/private insurance work? Do I need a GP referral?
You can book without a referral. If your GP provides a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate. We’ll check your eligibility and confirm your out-of-pocket cost before you commit. Private health (Extras) can’t be claimed with Medicare for the same session—please check your fund for coverage. If cost is a concern, let us know and we’ll talk through options.
Q3. Will my information be kept confidential?
Yes. Your sessions and records are kept private under strict legal and ethical standards. There are a few exceptions—if there’s a serious risk of harm, concerns about a child or vulnerable person, or a court order. If we ever need to share information, we’ll explain why, what will be shared, and involve you as much as possible.
