I'm Soraya Ahmid (B.A. Hons. Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy & Professional Certificate in Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy). I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist practising in the South County Dublin/Wicklow areas. ​ I am able to work face to face with adolescents (12 years +) and only have limited online session slots available for adults 18+.

I approach my work from a place of compassion, understanding and support, offering a safe, confidential, non-judgmental environment which is founded in respect, warmth and acceptance. My aim is to support you so you can feel heard, understood and empowered. I work collaboratively, looking at what therapy best fits your individual needs.

I work in a client-centred way using a client’s strengths to change their relationship and circumstances. I believe that we are responsible for changing the course of our own lives but when we get bogged down in problems it is easy to lose sight of that. I work with challenging thoughts, setting clear and achievable goals, and using one’s strengths to change circumstances. Being a child and adolescent psychotherapist enables me to understand that our coping mechanisms stem from early life and our challenges. In therapy, I find it helpful to make links between early adverse experiences and current problems.

I believe having this understanding enhances my work with depression, anxiety, bereavement and grief, trauma and parent- adolescent work, in addition to the therapist-client relationship.

Sometimes when struggling with various stressors we often fear reaching out for help. Therapy can support you to process painful experiences; increase your ability to cope day to day, and address long term issues affecting the quality of your life. Are you an adolescent at risk, a family looking for help with coping skills related to conflict, a couple looking to work through conflict or marital issues; have you experienced trauma? I work with complex client needs such as sexual abuse, substance misuse, relational issues, and mental health including other anxiety, emotional and behavioural issues.

Young people experiencing emotional and behavioural disturbances can find it challenging to communicate or understand why they feel this way. The process of Child Art Psychotherapy can benefit in many ways as it is relational and fosters consistency and containment. The psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approach of Art Psychotherapy incorporates verbal and non-verbal communication to gain insight into the child's thoughts and beliefs systems. The focus of therapy is to understand the unconscious material that influences behaviour and emotions in order to foster change and promote healthy psychological functioning.

Many people encounter challenges that they need help overcoming. I create a space were clients feel safe, heard and understood.

Counselling focuses on your strengths and abilities to help you make changes in your life, to grow and to develop yourself as a person.
