Anger Management

[admarlow]

I Live in West London and I need help with anger management. I have asked the doctor but only offered my prozac, where could I get counciling from? Would I have to pay?

You need to ask your Doctor to refer you again or to speak to another Doctor, you could try phoning Citizens Advice or an information bureau and find out about local anger management courses, where I live there are free courses available, they just ask for a �5.00 donation per visit if you can afford it.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Good Luck

you would most probably have to pay yourself - just look in the yellow pages for counsellors

Can't believe yr Dr offered Prozac - it's not a cure all - anger is not a medical problem...
It might be worth your while lookin out for some self help books, and look at 'Mind over Mood' for good CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) techniques -
http://mindovermood.com for more info, or look on Amazon etc...
I'm sure counselling would help you but sure there will be a long waiting list thru the NHS if you could get a Dr to refer you, or would be really expensive if you went privately.
Good luck with it - respect to you for admitting yr problems & trying to do something about it.

You could also try some online info/help:

http://www.angriesout.com/
http://www.angermanage.co.uk/
It might help you to find an online forum or something as well in the meantime, and get some grass roots counselling from others who are tackling the problem...
Hope this might help.

One last thing!
You might be able to find a local group (similar to AA ) who meets to talk about anger management issues - which wouldn't be expensive but would probably be really helpful.
Ok that's all my ideas :)
