Anger Management

Clayton Counselling works with many individuals who face anger management issues. Anger management, in a nutshell, is a psycho-therapeutic program for anger prevention and control. We can describe it as deploying anger successfully. In most cases, anger is frequently a result of frustration, or a feeling of blocked or thwarted from something you feel is important.

That’s why we continue to take on more personalized service and treatment of our clients and look forward to being of assistance.
