Able to move on
I want to say a huge thank you to Gerry and Joe for their expertise, warmth and kindness at a time when I was at a very low ebb. The school I work at has a wellbeing scheme and I was given the opportunity to go and see Joe when I was experiencing periods of anxiety at work. I worked with both Gerry and Joe over the next few months. I still have no idea how EMDR works, but the combination of that, their listening, questioning and analysis have transformed my life. I have been able to work through some troubling memories that were causing me huge anxiety and manage my emotions in a much healthier way. I now feel able to move on in my career, confident that if I need to talk through an issue, I can get in touch with them.

Thank you
I experienced a major trauma in February 2007. In an associated court case in August 2011, that disabling emotion returned. As a consequence, I was advised by a counsellor in Chicago to fiind someone trained in EMDR before attempting to cope with the next court case scheduled for December 2011. Joe was the person I found in Norwich and we worked very hard for 3 and a half months. The outcome for me was wholly transformative and I was successful in managing the next court case. I doubt I was an easy client. I frequently challenged Joe but I was also fighting to recover. I am extremely grateful to Joe for his skill, energy, wit, and compassion.

Helped me develop
Since commencing our coaching work, both myself and our organization has benefited considerably from our monthly meetings. In particular, your help in working on my cognitive style has helped me develop and create realistic perspectives and identify previously unhelpful thinking patterns.

Enjoying myself again
I really will never be able to thank you enough because from the day I experienced EMDR, I felt able to actually start to deal with problems instead of storing them away. I had the ability once again to confront and solve problems which is exhilarating and very rewarding. I started going out with my friends and really enjoying myself again.

So much happier
Before I met Joe I was carrying a lot of bad memories from my childhood around with me, feeling guilty and blaming myself, but had always kept them to myself. After an incident at work where I was assaulted quite badly, I suffered with the after effects, including 'Post Traumatic Stress'. After seeing another counsellor I was advised by them to seek help from someone who specalised in trauma therapies and the use of EMDR as they felt this would help me much more. Looking on the internet, I came across the web site for 'Beechmount', which offered EMDR therapy. So I decided to give them a ring. As soon as I spoke to Joe on the phone I just knew that I would be able to talk to him, as he straight away put me at my ease. Over the course of several sessions with Joe, all my problems came flooding out, including my childhood memories, and through the process of EMDR they have ceased to be problems anymore. Now I am so much happier and have confidence in myself. I am ready to move on and have decided to start up my own business; something I would never have considered a few months ago, but it just feels so right somehow.

Really impressed
Whilst I was a functional individual who appeared outwardly OK, there were certain issues that were holding me back and I had some wallet-sapping addictions which were affecting me financially as well as emotionally. After having tried other therapies, many of which seemed direction-less and open-ended with no clear benefit, I tried out Joe Kearney and EMDR. I believe his open, trustworthy approach helped the effectiveness of the therapy. I am really impressed at the power of EMDR which I tried sceptically. I am not having any distressing thoughts any more and what used to trigger emotional outbursts doesn't any more. I thank you for all your skilled help and really appreciate the changes that you have brought on in me.

Profound difference
Dear Gerry, I just wanted to let you know that the session I had with you made a profound difference to me. Thank you so much,

Thanks Joe
Joe has helped me to understand myself better and, through EMDR, come to terms with painful memories. Most importantly he helped me understand that we cannot blame ourselves for other peoples ignorance. Spending an hour talking to him was both funny and refreshing. Thank you Joe!
