Mark Ahern Counselling & EMDR

DEPRESSION

Depression is the continuation of a low mood over a prolonged period. Symptoms include sadness, lack of interest in daily activities, inability to concentrate, negative thoughts , removal from interpersonal contact, apathy and others. Levels of depression can vary from mild to moderate to severe

I work with the person to help them put words to their inner feelings and over a period of time to examine these feelings and the belief structures held around them. As children we adopt beliefs from our family, society and environment but as adults we need to examine these beliefs and determine if they serve us well in our lives. I endeavour to help  the person  develop skills to bring more balance to their life.

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.”
