Mark Ahern - BSc Hons Counselling & Psychotherapy M.I.A.C.P.

I am a fully accredited member of the IACP -The Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and I work in accordance with their Code of Ethics. As a counsellor my work is person– focused and I view my role as ‘helper’ in supporting the person view their issues and increase their self – awareness. I tailor my approach to suit the individual. I work in a compassionate, caring, empathic manner which allows the person the space to resolve the issues which are getting in the way of their living a happy and fulfilled life. 

I ensure that my work remains of the highest standard by engaging in on- going professional development which includes attending workshops and further courses on many issues and various therapeutic approaches.                              

Whether you think you need just a few sessions to deal with an immediate problem or would like to work long-term on deeper issues, I can help! I have a wealth of experience in many mental health and relational issues and I work with adults of all ages.

My private practice is situated in the beautiful village of Duagh in County Kerry, in the shadow of picturesque Listowel. Only a short 30 minute drive from Tralee and 45 minutes from Killarney.

Testimonials for Mark Ahern

“My doctor referred me to Mark as I had lost my will to live, not wishing to take my own life but only existing. My time with him allowed me the space to look at my life and to forgive those who had hurt me. This has totally changed how I feel and live today. He is one in a million.”
“I first went to Mark with work stress issues. After 2 sessions, I decided I could trust him with my real issue – my addiction to pornography. Mark helped me see that my addiction was my avoidance of a part of myself. Working with Mark helped me explore this difficult side of me and with this came freedom and I now no longer view porn. It has given me back the ability to enjoy life with my wife and family.”
“Speaking to Mark has helped me realise that I was not responsible for my abuse and has given me the freedom to enjoy my life with my husband and family. I felt totally at ease with Mark and I never felt judged in any way.”
“After my counselling sessions with Mark I now feel comfortable with who I am and where I have come from. The death of my father had overshadowed my life and Mark helped me to come out from under that shadow of guilt and self- loathing.”
“When we first went to Mark our relationship was in great difficulty. He helped us identify how our life had become boring and uneventful, revolving around our children. We have now found ways of communicating which has made our life exciting and we are in love again which is brilliant.”
“For me life had been all about work and I eventually hit a wall. Mark helped me to identify my feelings of inadequacy and my motivations coming from a place of fear. I now believe that I live my life from a place of love. I am so thankful to Mark for helping me get to this point.”
