Dr Gerard Moore

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

An experienced psychotherapist who works with adults with psychological, mental health and relationship concerns

About Me

For adults grappling with psychological, mental health, or relationship concerns, this experienced psychotherapist offers a supportive space. Through a psychoanalytic approach, sessions invite you to explore deeper patterns. This helps make sense of past experiences and current challenges, fostering lasting understanding. It's an ideal match for those ready to delve deeper, developing new ways of relating.

Approach

Sessions unfold through careful, conversational attention to how thoughts, dreams and relationships reveal longer-standing patterns that shape your present life. I meet adults in Dublin, working in English with a measured pace that leaves room for reflection, dream work and the slow uncovering of emotional connections. In-session we trace links between mood, grief, trauma and addictive behaviours, and I offer thoughtful reflection between meetings when helpful to deepen insight. This way suits those ready to look beneath surface symptoms and build steadier ways of relating.
