Mr Laurence O'Reilly

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“Giving support to those who need it with respect and dignity”

About Me

This therapist offers a respectful, dignified space to explore long-standing patterns and relationship dynamics. Specialising in psychoanalytic and relational approaches, they guide individuals and couples. Together, you can understand how past experiences shape present connections and navigate current challenges. Sessions focus on creating a supportive environment where clients safely unravel complex feelings. This approach is ideal for those seeking deep insight and lasting change.

Approach

I offer support with attention to dignity and steadiness as sessions unfold. In Dublin, English-language appointments take place face-to-face in a quiet room where we work at a deliberate, reflective pace. Together we trace relational histories, notice recurring responses to hurt, and test small changes in how you relate to yourself and others, sometimes using brief mindfulness practices between meetings to build awareness. This way of working suits couples and individuals seeking careful, sustained change rather than quick fixes.
