I’m an accredited psychotherapist and EMDR therapist with over a decade of experience. I work with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode, including those affected by trauma or acute stress from early life or high-pressure roles. Even after reflection or previous therapy, some cycles may persist. My work focuses on what lies beneath — the underlying processes that talking alone doesn’t always reach.

Welcome to Inner Peace Counselling where I offer you a safe place to be yourself. Imagine a space where you can speak the unspeakable without fear of reproach or judgement; a place where you are understood. So often in everyday life we are inhibited from being our true selves by our fear of being judged and the pressures of the expectations of others. Let Innerpeace counselling be your sanctuary where you can at last express what you truly feel. It is my privilege to listen and hear how life is for you at this moment and to accompany you on your healing journey. To be understood is powerful.

I provide a safe and confidential space for both individuals and those with relationship difficulties to work through what is troubling you. Therapy can be daunting and many struggle to make that initial consultation; you are not alone. I will walk alongside you every step of the way on your therapeutic journey; providing you with individually tailored tools and techniques to work through your difficulties. Often in life it is our relationships, which cause us the most angst, our stress is generally always in relation to someone else and our self talk if often heavily laden with 'shoulds' resulting in feelings of guilt.

I am a integrative counsellor, specialising in person-centered therapy, which centres on the client's autonomy, where building self-esteem and reducing learned helplessness has been proven to be beneficial when dealing with depression and anxiety.
Throughout our lives we all have difficulties and stressors that present themselves for various reasons. Loss, relationship difficulties and unexpected events that keep us awake at night and impact our daily lives, exposing us to illnesses such as depression and anxiety. The affects of these illnesses can never be underestimated as many suffer greatly from a loss of control over their own lives, which stops us living satisfying and fulfilling lives. Please know you are not on your own!

Waitlist for new clients
Sessions are available either in-person or online on Tuesdays to Fridays during office hours, with evening sessions on request.
Relationships, grief, regret, fears, sadness, hurt...these experiences are familiar to us all but sometimes, when we're in the middle of the mess, we just need to be seen, to be heard, to be acknowledged, understood and accepted. Having a safe space to talk, think and feel our way through it all can often bring the peace, clarity, rest and encouragement to do the next little part of our journey. Finding the right counsellor can be tricky and it is a brave thing to seek help...well done for taking that first step.

I work from a beautiful setting near Slemish using creative methods; in person is preferable-but I can do individual systemic work online.
Families can be the biggest source of love, intimacy and support;yet at times we struggle to communicate in healthy ways with the ones we love the most. There is no lonelier place than being in a parent, child, sibling or spouse role and feeling completely disconnected and isolated from those around you. Systemic Family work explores emotional triggers, dysfunctional patterns and unhelpful coping strategies with an aim of bringing understanding to each family member. I will endeavour to build trust, and help to develop empathy between family members. I can work one to one, or with the family group together to improve communication.

I offer face to face and online options for counselling and EMDR.
Ric Wilton MSc: I compassionately support adults, teenagers, and children (7+) who have faced challenging experiences, including bullying, rejection, abandonment, ridicule, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, cruelty, or neglect. I also work with those who may not see their experiences as 'big traumas' but still feel the weight of unresolved pain from childhood or later in life. Such difficulties can heighten anxiety, damage self-worth (embedded shame), leading to withdrawal, isolation, and deeply internalised negative beliefs such as feeling 'unsafe, unwanted and unlovable'. I help clients reclaim safety, self-worth, and freedom.
