What it can look like.
All kids feel angry sometimes. When anger shows up too often, too strongly, or in ways that hurt friendships and family life, it can feel overwhelming for everyone. For some young people, anger sits on top of frustration, anxiety or sadness.
- Yelling, lashing out or big outbursts
- Bottling things up until it all spills over
- Tension, headaches or always seeming on edge
- Trouble at school because of anger
- Strained friendships or family relationships
Anger is rarely just about the moment. It’s often a sign a young person is overwhelmed.
How we approach anger
Our psychologists use approaches grounded in evidence, with parents involved so the same tools are used at home.
- 1
Understanding your child’s experience
Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for your child, including what sets their anger off, how it builds and what happens afterwards. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.
- 2
Choosing an approach together
Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit your child, then you agree on a plan together.
- 3
Reviewing the plan together
Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you and your child, using measures chosen for your child and what they’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.
What support can include
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Helps kids notice unhelpful thought patterns and practise more balanced responses.
- Emotion regulation skills Practical ways to cool down, pause and choose what to do next.
- Problem-solving tools Working through challenges without turning to aggression.
- Family coaching Brings parents into the process so strategies at home line up with therapy.
- Strengths-based identity work Encourages young people to see themselves as more than their anger.
Who you’ll see
A psychologist who fits.
You’ll see one of our 25+ psychologists, at Gledswood Hills, Kingswood or online. All our psychologists are registered with AHPRA.
Depth behind the person you see
Your child sees one psychologist. Behind them is a practice that invests in what they know: training through the year, supervision built in, and time set aside to keep up with the research.
Trained for the work in front of them
Our psychologists train through the year, and we train together when we take on a new approach.
Enough of us to match your child properly
With 25+ psychologists, we can put your child with someone who works with their age, what’s going on, and how they like to work.
Keeping up, on purpose
New research, new frameworks and new tools get tested against what we already do. What earns its place stays.
If something isn’t working.
Tell us, or tell your psychologist. Here’s what can happen next.
Ask for a different psychologist
We aim to get it right first time. If not, tell us and we’ll match you with someone else. No reason needed, and you won’t have to start over.
Talk it through with your psychologist
Your psychologist reviews the plan with you, and can talk your care through in supervision. All our psychologists work with regular supervision and shared clinical standards.
Wondering about medication?
If medication might be worth considering, we can write to your GP or paediatrician with what we’ve found, with your consent.

How does Unbound Minds support children who struggle with anger?
We help children understand what anger feels like in their body and teach practical strategies to calm down before it escalates. Therapy sessions combine skill-building for children with coaching for parents so that the same tools can be reinforced at home.
Do you work with parents too, or just the child?
We work closely with parents because you’re the most important influence in your child’s world. We guide you in responding to outbursts calmly, setting clear boundaries, and creating an environment where anger can be expressed in safe, constructive ways.
How do I know if my child’s anger is a normal stage or something to be concerned about?
All children get upset, but if anger is frequent, intense, or affecting friendships, school, or home life, it’s worth getting support. We can help you understand whether the behaviour fits within typical development or whether extra strategies are needed.
What should I do in the middle of an outburst?
Stay calm, make sure everyone is safe, and wait until your child is settled before talking it through. We coach parents in step-by-step strategies for outbursts, and work with children on other ways to cope.
Can anger actually be a strength?
Yes. Anger signals that something matters to your child. When channelled well, it can fuel persistence, passion, and advocacy. We help children recognise anger as a normal emotion and learn how to use it in ways that are constructive rather than destructive.
Start with a phone call.
We’ll listen, ask a few questions and match your child with a psychologist who fits.
