Anger Management Therapists in Bakoven

Simone Friess
Psychologist, MA, HPCSA - Clin. Psych.
Bakoven 8005
I have worked with people for 30 years. Depending on the person my approach would vary. For some more clearly defined problems a short-term practical approach is suitable. I support the client to deal with his or her difficult situation and to find solutions which will work best in that particular setting. For more complex issues which have persisted over a long time it is necessary to explore and address the underlying issues in order to achieve long-term improvement. Therapy should provide a safe and professional space from where to start a journey with the aim to find more balance and greater enjoyment and meaning in life again.

You may be struggling in your relationships, feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, or carrying the impact of experiences that still seem to live beneath the surface. Perhaps you understand your patterns, yet still find yourself triggered, anxious, shutting down or reacting in ways that don’t feel like you. Therapy offers a warm, reflective space to understand what’s driving these responses, create meaningful shifts, and reconnect with a more grounded, authentic sense of yourself.

No problem or difficulty you are experiencing is too small or too big to work on with me in your counselling sessions. Talking about it in a safe, confidential and non-judgement space helps. While the past is important, life is about the present. Gestalt work emphasises what happens in the present moment and what this might mean for you. I work holistically to help you raise your awareness about yourself. This takes into account the mind, body and spirit as well as the context of your life. I work in person, online and in the outdoors on request.

William Gordon Elliott
Psychologist, MA, HPCSA - Couns. Psych.
Over 20 years experience has enabled me to offer key therapeutic and coaching support to local and international clients dealing with: life and work challenges, couple counselling, divorce recovery, loss, anger management, procrastination, stress and low mood, life stage transitions, adult ADHD, difficult conversations, etc
Therapy and Life Coaching. Life is full of both practical and emotional challenges. If you are finding that insight alone is not moving you forward, you may need to focus more on Life Coaching and behavior change. If you need deeper insight into why you are stuck or why you do or feel certain things, you will need to lean more into Therapy for deeper work. Most often we need a combination of both at different times for progress and lasting change.

Anger Management Counsellors
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
