Ms Olive Murphy

Psychotherapist

“A qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist, using an integrative approach and creating a safe space where we can work through your concerns.”

About Me

Finding the right support can make a real difference. I create a truly safe, confidential space for us to explore your concerns. Using an integrative approach, I tailor our work to your unique needs. We can gently unpack what's troubling you. Together, we'll understand patterns and find new ways forward. This collaborative process is ideal if you seek clarity and support through life's complexities.

Approach

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, our work focuses on practical, paced conversations that get to the heart of what’s unsettling you. Sessions in Cork or online, in English, move at a pace you find manageable, mixing short-term coping strategies with deeper reflection between meetings. We notice patterns, try small experiments to shift relationships, emotions and daily habits, and I give gentle feedback and exercises you can use between sessions to build momentum. This approach suits adults, couples and parents facing anxiety, loss, stress or relationship difficulties who want steady, collaborative support.
