Anger Management Program
Northern Frontiers Counselling offers a four (4) session Anger Management Program that is tailored to your specific needs. This may be beneficial for people facing anger / violence related matters. The program is delivered individually by our Lead Counsellor and Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), Melinda Bailey.
Based in Cairns, Northern Frontiers Mediation & Counselling offers phone and video-chat services across Qld and Australia, and receive referrals from criminal defence lawyers, family law practitioners, and restorative justice facilitators and attendees. Participants can complete the program from the comfort and privacy of their home, and only on a one-on-one basis which ensures customisation to client needs and circumstances.
Are you surprised to learn that Anger is a completely normal healthy human emotion that we all experience from time to time? It’s also a very powerful emotion – and it has a purpose. If you find yourself ‘losing it’ when you become angry it doesn’t necessarily mean you have an anger management problem. If it’s happening regularly there could be an underlying issue that needs to be explored. Northern Frontiers Counselling, Cairns and Australia wide, Anger Management Program can assist individuals who would like to undertake behavioural change with regards to their anger management.
One of the functions of Anger is to alert us to situations that are not quite right for us and need our attention. Everyday life issues can trigger our Anger. The car not starting; kids not doing as they’re told; arguing with a loved one; job-hunting, inconsiderate drivers or being hit with an over-payment – any of these events may leave us feeling angry.
Problems arise when we don’t manage ourselves well when we’re under the influence of anger.
The way we choose to act can either help or harm us. The human body is not designed to tolerate anger indefinitely. Letting anger-related issues go unresolved can lead to serious problems.

Your needs will be carefully assessed and evaluated for the purpose of developing an Action Plan that may also involve referral to other specialist services.
