Ahern, Tom: - Tom Ahern is a counsellor, podcaster and writer. As a counsellor, he runs an online program for driven adults. His therapy looks to solve two fundamental problems: a lack of purpose and high anxiety. He helps individuals cultivate an intrinsic sense of purpose-with greater directional clarity-and self-awareness, helping them befriend their minds along the way. Human beings function best when they are focused on the future, aiming towards a greater life for themselves and others. Tom has a specific interest helping adults with trauma related issues-and its many branches which include OCD, panic attacks and triggers-as well as existential and narrative therapy. He believes that we are fundamentally a product of the stories we tell ourselves; our self-fulfilling prophecies if you will. Furthermore, he believes in building a simple and meaningful life and helps individuals make practical, long-lasting changes. Tom is also the host of The Mind Mate Podcast which helps listeners get to know themselves. He interviews spiritualists, philosophers, psychologists and others from all walks of life. Finally, Tom is the author of four books including Yes I'm Fine, Just Tired, But You Never Left, Echoes From The Past and Ships In The Harbour. He also enjoys drinking coffee with his lovely partner Siobhan.
