Sexual Addiction Counselling in Dublin

Hi, Andrew here. I am a qualified, experienced and fully accredited Integrative Psychotherapist & Counsellor. I integrate many different approaches depending on each client’s specific requirements and facilitate all clients to develop clarity so that they may develop the skills and resources within themselves to deal with these challenges and overcome obstacles. I work with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, anger, grief, relationships, self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal ideation and have a particular interest in working with individuals who have experienced any form of trauma.

I'm a MA qualified Psychotherapist, trained in EMDR. I work equally with clients face to face or online via Zoom. EMDR is an integrative approach to the treatment of trauma related symptoms, it incorporates both mind and body awareness and has been scientifically proven to alleviate the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I also work in the area of sexuality, counselling individuals who present in therapy with relationship, sexuality and sexual concerns. I allow each individual to explore their sexual fantasies and desires in order to help them develop a level of comfort to converse on key areas of their difficulties.

You promised you would not watch online porn or live sex cams again. You feel guilt and shame because you want to stop but cant. You visited a sex worker during lockdown and now you are worried you might have put the health of your family at risk. You plan to spend a short time on dating apps and find yourself spending hours on them, unable to put them down, feeling desperate and hopeless. You have an instant attraction when you meet a particular type of person, believing they are the one. You are in recovery for alcohol / drug addiction, but your compulsive sexual acting out behaviours have increased and you feel guilt and shame.

L i f e ' s  c h a l l e n g e s can present an opportunity for growth and personal development. However, sometimes, these challenges may seem too much. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling depressed, anxious and overwhelmed. Or perhaps just stuck? Dr. McAteer can help in these situations, by providing evidenced based therapy which treats individual difficulties. These might include anxiety, depression, addiction or perhaps relational difficulties with a partner. Whatever your problem, psychotherapy with Susan offers a safe, confidential, diversity friendly, space to work through it.

Sometimes in life you need a place to explore the difficulties that arise. Either behaviours, feelings or emotions. At times you need to be listened to confidentially and without judgement. What troubles our minds can have such a negative impact on the quality of our lives. Psychological troubles come in many forms, relational both to oneself and to others, grief and loss, behavioural problems from anxiety or depression and rage or sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what it is, only a sense that things are not right. The first brave step to take is to share that difficulty.

As a clinical psychologist and neuroscientist, Dr. Pousada uses a holistic approach to explore the reasons underlying symptoms helping you to understand the issues that you are experiencing. Therefore, she practices from an integrative approach with a special focus on psychodynamic psychotherapy in combination with other techniques. Her main goal is to assist you in exploring yourself, to find your strengths to enable you to overcome difficulties, developing strategies and coping skills in order to achieve your full potential and improve your quality of life.

I speak English, German, Lithuanian & Russian. I specialize in being open minded! I encourage my clients to talk about everything. Intimacy, Sexuality, Trauma, Addiction. Their relationship with themselves and the world (a lot can be learned from daily patterns and behaviours), deepest fears, things they wish they had never done and equally, dreams, goals, and ambitions. The Therapeutic space is your sanctuary to be yourself, whether you’re hurting, feeling lost and fragile or just are curious to learn more about yourself. The goal is not to change you entirely but to work on updating your current self to become your best self.

“Overactive” busy minds have difficulty slowing down. I see it everyday. Having genes for a mental illness does not guarantee having one. Exposure to traumas is also needed to cause a disturbance in transmitters and hormones in the body. I help a person when they are looking for help in reducing psychiatric medications or before taking them. My experience involves helping a person process their traumas to heal them emotionally. In Walsh protocol , food supplements are prescribed instead of psychotropic medications that participate in hormonal and neurotransmitter metabolism. I can speak English, Hindi/ Urdu and Punjabi.

Throughout her practice, Wanessa has helped clients undergoing transformative processes and facing emotional difficulties stemming from past experiences that continue to affect their lives. Wanessa firmly believes regular sessions with a qualified psychotherapist or psychoanalyst can be a transformative and proactive step towards overcoming personal difficulties.

I believe in providing a safe space for clients where they are met with compassion and nonjudgement. I feel that the client possesses the inner resources within themselves to move through difficult experiences but may need support in facilitating this process through therapy. I believe in meeting the client where they are at and I tailor my therapeutic approach depending on the client’s needs. I am particularly passionate about issues relating to sex, gender and cultural issues as well as self-development and awareness.

I will work collaboratively with you to create a safe space where you can unburden yourself from the thoughts and events you may feel tangled up in and together we will carve a path forward.

Psychotherapy offers the possibility to explore various aspects of your life in a way that is rarely possible with family or friends. Psychotherapy offers a space where you can speak of your suffering and presents the opportunity to re-shape it. It can be a truly transformative experience where you can reflect on your experience in a confidential way.

I am an integrative psychotherapist. This means that I work using various different skills, therapies, methods, and tools and tailor them to each individual client's needs and wants. I work collaboratively with each client to help them to establish and achieve whatever their goals and needs are from therapy. I am client-focused, non-judgemental, flexible, honest, trustworthy, and direct. I work within the client's own frame of reference and within their boundaries. I consider the client's capacity for the direction and time frame of the work. I work with the majority of issues and respect all genders, cultures, nationalities, etc.

My ideal client is the one who is looking to make positive changes in their life. This person would understand that nothing is ever fixed but it is managed and they would be okay with taking the steps necessary to learn their management skills. I would like to be the guide for that life transformation.

Welcome! I am a U.S. based psychotherapist and accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).

OCSB is defined as “a sexual problem of consensual sexual urges, thoughts, or behaviours that feel out of control for the individual.” If you are interested in improving your sexual health and relationships, please contact me for more info.
