Counselling in Dublin

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 work from a humanistic-integrative perspective in which, depending on the needs of the client, I draw on a number of complementary approaches. The way that psychotherapy works is different for each individual. I strongly believe that each person is on a unique journey; therefore, they need a way of working that aligns to this very personal factor. Moreover, even during your individual journey, your therapeutic needs will be continuously evolving because every day we can feel differently and, in simple terms, what we need changes accordingly.

I will deal constructively with your issues, whether they are as a result of the current Covid-19 crisis or not, in a caring, non-judgemental way. I'll help you to overcome obstacles in your life around family, work or other personal problems that may be preventing you from shaping your future in a direction that you find enriching, fulfilling and satisfying. The goal of my work in therapy with you is that you emerge more confident, content, and optimistic.

As a therapist, I will offer a safe place where you can explore your issues and begin to understand your reactions to situations. With this understanding can come power, control and ultimately change. This will be a journey we take together with acceptance, curiosity and understanding.

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.

“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful”. My work is psychoanalytically oriented and is based on the belief that you already have the solution. So, let’s find it! The practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy recognises that often, the language (verbal and non-verbal) of that solution only needs to be heard in order to be consciously realised and put into action. I will help you identify and define this language.

I work with both adults and adolescents and provide a type of listening that is singular to each person (not a one answer fits all model). By attending therapy you release yourself of burdens and concerns and ongoing symptoms and find new ways of looking at life. The work I facilitate provides an insight and outlook that is focused towards helping each person find more understanding of themselves and what they want for themselves. My experience includes people with different psychiatric diagnosis, people experiencing grief, loss, addiction, ruminating and obsessive thoughts, pre and post natal depression and eating disorders.

Life doesn’t always run smoothly for us. Grief, loss of all types, trauma and relationship challenges can lead us to feel overwhelmed, depressed, isolated or stuck. Our thoughts can feel uncontrollable. Counselling and talk therapy can help. Working collaboratively, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel seen and heard as well as process and make sense of what’s going on individually for you. I assist you to find your inner capacity to develop positive coping skills.

I work from an integrative perspective grounded in person centered therapy. I adapt the therapy to the needs of the individual while respecting their views and values.
