Carolyn Mulholland

Founder of Tides Counselling | Counselling Therapist (CT) | Registered Marriage & Family Therapist (RMFT) | Birth Trauma Resolution (BTR) Practitioner | Former Registered Nurse & Midwife (UK)

At Tides Counselling, I offer compassionate, specialized support for individuals, couples, and families who are navigating the lasting effects of trauma, particularly perinatal trauma. Whether you’re experiencing distressing memories, vivid ﬂashbacks, heightened anxiety, or a sense of detachment, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to be trapped by these emotions.

With a background as a midwife and nurse in Belfast, my passion for nurturing and supporting others has always been at the heart of my work. As a therapist with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I’m committed to helping you ﬁnd healing and renewal. Like the changing tides of the ocean, I believe there’s always hope for transformation, no matter how stormy life feels right now.

If you’re seeking relief from trauma or would like to explore the healing process, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work toward peace and restoration. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey.

Frequently AskedQuestions

What is perinatal trauma?

Perinatal trauma is any trauma experienced during your reproductive experience – from infertility, to miscarriage, stillbirth, negative birth experiences, even if deemed a “normal birth.”

Can a family be helped if only one individual attends counselling?

I believe change begins within individuals before causing a ripple effect within the family system. We cannot change anyone else, just ourselves. Change starts with us!

What should I expect while attending counselling?

Counselling is challenging but very rewarding when individuals engage and walk through the process, noticing what they are experiencing. We can’t change what we don’t know!
