Mr Laurence Murphy, MA

Psychotherapist

“Hi My name is Laurence Murphy. I am a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist based in Cork City center. My motivation for this work is the desire to work at a deeper level with you, and to support you to deal better with whatever you may be struggling with. And ultimately to live a happier and more fulfilled life”

About Me

As a psychotherapist, I am motivated to help you navigate life's complexities. I offer a supportive space to explore your struggles at a deeper level. We can work collaboratively to make sense of what you are facing, understanding underlying patterns. This process helps you deal better with difficulties, supporting a happier, more fulfilled life. My goal is to support your personal growth.

Approach

Rather than quick fixes, I focus on exploring what lies beneath your patterns and how change takes shape in everyday life. In sessions in Cork City centre or online in English we move at a steady, thoughtful pace — talking, noticing patterns, and trying small, manageable experiments between meetings. I help you connect feelings, choices and relationships so anxiety, addiction or family strains become clearer and less overwhelming. People seeking practical, reflective work often find this way of working helpful.
