This directory brings together therapists in London who work with anger. You can search by approach, availability and session type to find someone you would feel able to be honest with.

What is anger management therapy?

Anger itself is a normal and often useful emotion. It becomes a problem when the intensity is out of proportion to the situation, when it arrives faster than you can think, or when it damages relationships and you find yourself apologising for the same thing repeatedly. Some people express it outwardly through shouting or aggression. Others turn it inward, where it shows up as resentment, withdrawal or self-criticism.

Therapy for anger is less about suppressing the feeling and more about understanding what sits underneath it. Anger frequently sits on top of something harder to feel, such as shame, fear, powerlessness or grief. Approaches vary. Some therapists work practically with triggers and physiological cues, others work with the history that made anger the available response. Many combine both.

What to expect from anger management therapy

The first sessions usually involve tracing recent episodes in detail: what happened just before, what you noticed in your body, what you were telling yourself, and what happened afterwards. This is not about being told off. A therapist who works with anger will have heard a great deal and is unlikely to be shocked by what you describe.

Practical work often includes noticing the physical signs early, since anger is far easier to interrupt at the two out of ten stage than at eight. Alongside that, the therapy usually looks at where the pattern came from, particularly if anger was how conflict was handled in the household you grew up in. Many people come because a partner or employer asked them to, and find the reasons for staying become their own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does anger management therapy cost in London?

Across the therapists on the directory who work with anger, the median fee is £80 a session and most charge between £70 and £103. Fees run from £35 to £245.

Is this the same as a court-ordered anger management course?

No. Court-mandated programmes are usually group based and follow a set curriculum. The therapists listed here offer individual private therapy. If you need a course for legal reasons, check what the specific requirement is before booking, as private therapy may not satisfy it.

I do not shout or get violent, but I am angry all the time. Is that relevant?

Yes. Anger that is turned inward or held as constant irritation and resentment is just as worth addressing. It often does more damage over time precisely because it is less visible and easier to dismiss.

Will the therapist tell me my anger is wrong?

A therapist who works well with anger will not. The aim is not to remove the feeling, which usually carries important information, but to change what happens between feeling it and acting on it.

How long does anger management therapy take?

Short term focused work of 8 to 12 sessions helps many people gain more control over their responses. Where the anger connects to earlier experiences, longer work often does more. Your therapist will discuss this with you early on.

Does online anger management therapy work?

Yes. Many people find it easier to be honest about incidents they feel ashamed of from their own home. Most London therapists offer both online and in person sessions.
