Anger Management Therapy in Cornwall and Online
Anger is often misunderstood. While it’s a natural emotion, it can become harmful when it feels overwhelming, unpredictable or impacts relationships and decision-making. If you find yourself reacting with outbursts, bottling things up until they explode, or feeling constantly on edge, it may be time to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.
At Past 2 Present Counselling & Psychotherapy, we offer anger management therapy that doesn’t judge or shame. Instead, it provides a safe space where you can begin to understand the roots of your anger, express it safely, and develop more helpful ways of responding.
Do I Need Therapy for Anger?
Everyone experiences anger, but when it becomes difficult to manage or affects your work, family or wellbeing, professional support can make a real difference. You might benefit from anger management therapy if you:
- Struggle to stay calm during stressful conversations
- Feel guilty after losing your temper
- Experience physical symptoms like tension or racing thoughts
- Suppress your emotions until they overwhelm you
- Notice patterns of frustration that affect your relationships
Anger management therapy helps you identify triggers and patterns, offering ways to change your response and find calmer, more effective ways to communicate and cope.

Why Anger Often Has Deeper Roots
Anger is rarely just about the present moment. It can stem from:
- Unprocessed trauma or grief
- Childhood experiences or unmet needs
- Workplace stress or burnout
- Relationship breakdowns
- Feeling unheard, powerless or dismissed
Understanding the origins of your anger can be deeply healing. Therapy doesn’t just help you manage the emotion—it helps you heal the pain behind it.
What Does This Mean for You and Your Future?
Anger doesn’t need to control your life. With the right support, it’s possible to feel more balanced, more in control and more connected to the people around you. Therapy can help you build confidence, find clarity in difficult moments, and regain a sense of peace.
