Η Πετρίνα Ρούσσου είναι Ψυχολόγος και Ψυχαναλυτική/Ψυχοδυναμική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια Παιδιών, Εφήβων & Ενηλίκων (Ειδ.) και διατηρεί το ιδιωτικό της γραφείο στον Πειραιά, όπου παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες ψυχοθεραπείας Διά ζώσης και Διαδικτυακά. Η επαγγελματική της πορεία έχει αναπτυχθεί στη συνάντηση της κλινικής πρακτικής, της ψυχαναλυτικής σκέψης και της ακαδημαϊκής δραστηριότητας, με σταθερό προσανατολισμό στην κατανόηση της μοναδικότητας του κάθε ανθρώπου και της προσωπικής του ιστορίας.

Ολοκλήρωσε τις βασικές της σπουδές στην Ψυχολογία (UEL), αποφοιτώντας με Άριστα (First Class Honours). Στη συνέχεια πραγματοποίησε στο ίδιο Πανεπιστήμιο μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στην Κλινική και Κοινοτική Ψυχολογία (UEL), τις οποίες ολοκλήρωσε με Διάκριση (Distinction). Είναι μέλος του British Psychological Society (GMBPsS), διεθνές μέλος της American Psychological Association (APA), καθώς και δόκιμο μέλος της European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) και της Εθνικής Εταιρείας Ψυχοθεραπείας Ελλάδος (ΕΕΨΕ).

Η πρώτη της επαφή με το κλινικό πεδίο πραγματοποιήθηκε, μεταξύ άλλων, στο Ναυτικό Νοσοκομείο Πειραιά, όπου συμμετείχε στη λειτουργία του Εξωτερικού Νευρολογικού Ιατρείου και ήρθε σε επαφή με ασθενείς νευρολογικών παθήσεων και γνωστικών δυσκολιών, μεταξύ των οποίων άνοια, νόσος Parkinson και σκλήρυνση κατά πλάκας. Παράλληλα, συμμετείχε στη λειτουργία του Κέντρου Νοητικής Ενδυνάμωσης του νοσοκομείου. Η εμπειρία αυτή συνέβαλε στην εξοικείωσή της με τη σύνθετη σχέση ανάμεσα στην ψυχική λειτουργία, τη γνωστική κατάσταση, τη σωματική νόσο και το οικογενειακό περιβάλλον. Στο ΚΕΘΕΑ Εν Δράσει εντάχθηκε στο ερευνητικό τμήμα, αποκτώντας εμπειρία στη συλλογή, οργάνωση και επεξεργασία ερευνητικών δεδομένων στο πλαίσιο του έργου του φορέα. Η επαφή της με διαφορετικά κλινικά και ερευνητικά περιβάλλοντα αποτέλεσε σημαντικό υπόβαθρο για τη μετέπειτα εξέλιξη της επαγγελματικής της ταυτότητας.

Παράλληλα με την κλινική της πορεία, ξεκίνησε η πορεία της στον ακαδημαϊκό χώρο της Ψυχολογίας. Στο Μητροπολιτικό Κολλέγιο εργάστηκε ως Personal Academic Tutor, υποστηρίζοντας και εποπτεύοντας την ακαδημαϊκή πορεία φοιτητών Ψυχολογίας, ενώ στη συνέχεια ανέλαβε και το συντονισμό της ομάδας των Personal Academic Tutors. Συνέχισε διδάσκοντας μαθήματα Ψυχολογίας, με ιδιαίτερη ενασχόληση την Επιστημολογία, εποτεύοντας πτυχιακές εργασίες και καθοδηγώντας φοιτητές στη διαμόρφωση, οργάνωση και εκπόνηση ερευνητικών εργασιών. Παράλληλα, έχει συμμετάσχει στη συγγραφή και ανάπτυξη εκπαιδευτικού υλικού για μαθήματα του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας, καθώς και για μαθήματα Ακαδημαϊκής Γραφής του Τμήματος Διοίκησης Επιχειρήσεων. Η ακαδημαϊκή αυτή διαδρομή λειτούργησε συμπληρωματικά προς την κλινική της εξέλιξη. Η συστηματική ενασχόληση με την επιστημονική γνώση, την έρευνα, τη διδασκαλία και την εποπτεία φοιτητών εμπλούτισε τον τρόπο με τον οποίο προσεγγίζει και κατανοεί την κλινική πράξη. Διατηρεί ενεργή παρουσία μέσα από ομιλίες σε σεμινάρια και συνέδρια Ψυχολογίας, καθώς και μέσα από συνεργασίες με διαφορετικούς φορείς και κέντρα ψυχικής υγείας, με θεματολογία γύρω από την ψυχική υγεία, την ψυχοθεραπεία και την ψυχαναλυτική προσέγγιση.

Έχει εργαστεί θεραπευτικά με παιδιά που αντιμετωπίζουν συναισθηματικές και αναπτυξιακές δυσκολίες, εφήβους και ενήλικες, ενώ έχει πραγματοποιήσει και συμβουλευτική εργασία με γονείς σε κέντρα ειδικών θεραπειών στον Πειραιά και στη Σύρο. Η εμπειρία της με διαφορετικές ηλικιακές ομάδες έχει ενισχύσει την κατανόηση της ψυχικής ανάπτυξης ως μιας συνεχούς πορείας, στην οποία οι πρώιμες σχέσεις, οι μεταγενέστερες εμπειρίες και ο τρόπος με τον οποίο κάθε άνθρωπος σχετίζεται με τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους παραμένουν ουσιαστικά συνδεδεμένα.

Στην ψυχοθεραπευτική της εργασία προσεγγίζει κάθε άνθρωπο πέρα από το σύμπτωμα ή τη δυσκολία που τον οδηγεί στη θεραπεία. Μέσα από την ψυχαναλυτική και ψυχοδυναμική οπτική, δίνεται χώρος στην προσωπική ιστορία, στις πρώιμες και σύγχρονες σχέσεις, στις ασυνείδητες διεργασίες και στα επαναλαμβανόμενα σχεσιακά μοτίβα που συχνά επηρεάζουν τον τρόπο με τον οποίο το άτομο βιώνει τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους. Η θεραπεία είναι μία διαδικασία στην οποία όσα δεν έχουν ακόμη μπορέσει να ειπωθούν ή να κατανοηθούν μπορούν σταδιακά να αποκτήσουν λόγο, νόημα και ψυχική αναπαράσταση. Συμπτώματα, επαναλαμβανόμενες δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις, φόβοι ή συναισθήματα που μοιάζουν δυσνόητα δεν αντιμετωπίζονται απομονωμένα, αλλά διερευνώνται μέσα στο ευρύτερο πλαίσιο της ιστορίας και του εσωτερικού κόσμου του ανθρώπου. Μέσα σε ένα σταθερό, ασφαλές και εμπιστευτικό θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο, θεραπευτής και θεραπευόμενος μπορούν να διερευνήσουν από κοινού όσα επαναλαμβάνονται, όσα δυσκολεύουν και όσα μέχρι σήμερα παρέμεναν λιγότερο προσβάσιμα στη συνειδητή κατανόηση. Μέσα από αυτή τη διαδικασία μπορεί να δημιουργηθεί περισσότερος ψυχικός χώρος για κατανόηση, επεξεργασία, νοηματοδότηση και σταδιακή αλλαγή.
