Dr Prerna Kohli

Quick answer

Anger management therapy is structured psychological help for anger that has become frequent, explosive, or destructive — the kind that damages relationships, careers, or health and does not respond to simply “trying harder.” It works by uncovering what is driving the anger, treating what sits underneath it, and building practical skills to stay in control. With a qualified clinical psychologist, it is genuinely effective — and reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Anger is a normal, healthy human emotion. But when it becomes uncontrollable, disproportionate, or destructive — damaging your relationships, your work, or your wellbeing — it needs proper attention, and willpower alone rarely resolves it. Dr. Prerna Kohli offers confidential, professional anger management therapy in Gurgaon and online, drawing on more than 30 years of clinical practice, to help people take back control in a way that lasts.

Signs it may be time for help

It is worth considering anger management therapy if you recognise several of these:

  • Your anger feels out of your control, however hard you try to rein it in
  • It is frequent or explosive, and out of proportion to what triggers it
  • It is damaging your relationships, your career, or your health
  • People close to you have raised concerns about your temper
  • You are left with guilt, regret, or shame after angry episodes
  • You tend to either explode or bottle it up, with no middle ground

What anger management therapy involves

Effective therapy is not about suppressing anger or being lectured into calm. It begins by understanding your anger — your triggers, your early warning signs, and crucially what sits beneath it, since anger is so often a cover for hurt, fear, or feeling unheard. From there, the work builds practical skills: interrupting the surge before it takes over, expressing yourself assertively rather than aggressively, and addressing the stress, history, or unmet needs that have been fuelling it. The goal is lasting change, not a temporary lid.

Dr. Kohli’s approach

Dr. Kohli’s approach is warm, non-judgmental, and tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. Sessions are entirely confidential. Where anger is straining a marriage or family, she can work with the relationship as well as the individual. And because anger rarely exists in isolation, any underlying anxiety, depression, or past experience driving it is addressed as part of the work — which is what makes the results hold.

In Gurgaon and online

Consultations are available in person at Dr. Kohli’s clinic in DLF Phase 3, Gurgaon, and online for clients across India and worldwide — so distance or a demanding schedule need not stand between you and getting help.
