Moose Anger Management was established in 1995 by Alistair Moes, Founder of Moose Anger Management. He has worked with thousands of men and women over the last 27+ years. The objective was to provide counselling that focused on constructive approaches to expressing healthy anger by addressing both current circumstances, such as anxiety, and looking at how history is attached to current behaviour. In 2008, Alistair started co-facilitating Healing Anger groups for women. The co-owner of Moose Anger Management and Healing Anger, Alejandra Proaño, MA (Psy), MA (Lit), M.Sc, ACC, RCC, now oversees Healing Anger. She and Alistair have rewritten the books used in the courses which now have an edition that specifically addresses issues that are relevant to women’s anger.

Moose Anger Management | Alistair Moes

Alistair Moes, BA

Alistair, the founder of Moose Anger Management, has been working professionally as a counsellor/educator since 1989 and as an anger management specialist in private practice since 1995. During this time Alistair has developed a manner of working with men and women which is respectful, solution-focussed and based on both academic theory and extensive experience. This experience includes working with trauma, and historic abuse in a manner that honours each person and allows for deep healing, and looking at the practical “anger management” work that some prefer. During the last twenty years he has worked with thousands of people who have made the phone call out of a desire to create change. Although he has facilitated court-ordered men, he now works exclusively with self-referred clients, which includes those sent from the workplace, or strongly encouraged by a partner, or even unfortunately sometimes, a lawyer.
