Anger Management

Mark Ahern Counselling & EMDR

Anger Management

Anger is a normal healthy emotion but becomes a problem when it affects ones health, work life, social life or relationships. Anger management is the ability to control your anger and the ability to express this anger in a controlled way which gives satisfaction in knowing that you have given expression to your emotion in a healthy way. Lack of expression of anger can also be very harmful to the individual as this emotion can manifest as anxiety or depression.

I work with the individual in identifying their anger triggers and I help them develop skills of how to ‘press the pause button’. This can develop into a habit where they are now in control of how they express their anger. In working with clients I sometimes identify unexpressed anger which the client perceives as anxiety or depression. This anger needs expression and I provide the safe environment where it can be expressed. I work with these client in developing skills to prevent build-up of unspoken anger.

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.”
