A calm mind, the key to happiness
Anger is a normal emotion. It becomes a problem when it comes too often, too strongly, or in ways you later regret: shouting at the children, the same arguments with a partner or parents, snapping at colleagues, or anger held in until it shows up as headaches, poor sleep or low mood. Mani Sharma, VinayakM’s counsellor, works one to one with adults who want to get their temper under control. The sessions cover four practical areas.
The situations, people and times of day that set it off, and what makes it worse: tiredness, hunger, pressure at work, alcohol.
What happens in your body and your thoughts in the seconds before you snap, so you can catch it sooner.
Ways to pause and cool down that you can use at home, at work or on the road.
Saying what you need without shouting, and repairing things after an argument.
Sessions are at least 60 minutes, in a private room. What you share stays between you and your counsellor; the only exception is a situation where someone’s safety is at serious risk.
Counselling is talking-based support. It does not diagnose conditions or prescribe medicines. If your anger comes with something a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist should look at, such as depression, heavy drinking or thoughts of harming yourself or others, we say so and help you arrange it.
The number of sessions is agreed with you at the start and reviewed together.
The clinic team calls you to explain counselling and the available appointments. Nothing is booked until you confirm.

Mani provides one-to-one counselling at VinayakM. Sessions begin with listening: to what is happening, to how it shows up at home and at work, and to what you want to change.
From there, Mani agrees with you what to work on and how often to meet, and gives you practical ways to cope between sessions. If you need a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist, the clinic helps you arrange it.
A member of the office team calls the number you gave, 9 am to 8 pm, except Wednesdays. They explain how counselling works and the available appointments, and answer your questions. A callback request is an enquiry: nothing is booked until you confirm, and the call is not a counselling session. By requesting a callback, you agree that VinayakM may call you about this enquiry (privacy policy).
The team asks for you by name and says they are calling from VinayakM. They do not mention counselling or anger to anyone else who answers the phone.
Yes. What you share stays with your counsellor. The only exception is a situation where someone’s safety is at serious risk, and even then we would talk to you first wherever possible.
It depends on what drives your anger, but common tools include recognising your early warning signs; a planned time-out, returning to the conversation once you are calm; slow breathing and other ways to settle the body; noticing and questioning the thoughts that fuel anger, such as “they did it on purpose”; solving the situations that keep recurring; and saying what you need clearly, without blaming or shouting. You practise them between sessions so that they become habits.
Each session is at least 60 minutes, so there is time to talk properly. The number varies: some people find a few sessions enough, others prefer longer support. We agree a plan at the start and review it together.
No. Anger is a normal emotion, and feeling angry is not a diagnosis. It is worth getting help when anger is frequent, intense or hard to control; when it leads to shouting, breaking things or hurting anyone; or when it is damaging your relationships or work. Constant irritability can go with stress, poor sleep, anxiety or low mood, which is why the first session looks at the whole picture.
Yes. You can request a callback to ask questions on someone’s behalf. Counselling works best when the person chooses to come, so the team will want to speak with them before anything is booked. Adults can come on their own, and what they discuss is not shared with their family unless they want it to be.
No. Counselling is talking-based support and does not involve diagnosis or medication. If a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist would help, we will tell you and help you arrange it.
Safety comes first. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 112. Women facing violence at home can also call the Women Helpline on 181. For urgent emotional support at any hour, India’s national mental health helpline, Tele-MANAS, is on 14416. Counselling is not an emergency service.

Most people come because of one or two places where their temper keeps running away with them. The sessions work on the ones that matter to you.
Shouting over homework, screens and bedtime, and the guilt afterwards.
The same arguments, again and again, that leave everyone worn out.
Snapping at colleagues, or swallowing it all day and bringing it home.
Traffic, horns and other drivers that set off a reaction out of proportion.
A person in their thirties comes home tired after a long commute. Small things, like toys on the floor or a question at the wrong moment, set off shouting, followed by guilt and a silent house.
The review looks at what the person found possible; it does not promise a result.
Anger is the body’s response to feeling threatened, wronged or blocked. The heart beats faster, muscles tense and thinking narrows to the problem in front of you, which is why it is so easy to say or do things in anger that you would not choose when calm.
Most people can learn to manage anger better with practice. These measures do not work the same way for everyone, and they are not a substitute for help when anger is linked to depression, anxiety, alcohol or drug use, or a risk of harm.
