Mr Paul Murphy

Psychotherapist (Registered)

Psychotherapist. Accredited by the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Private comfortable room in Limerick city centre. CISM. Critical Incident Responder.

About Me

I support individuals as they process the impact of critical incidents and overwhelming life events. My comfortable, private room in Limerick city centre offers a calm, confidential space to explore your experiences. As an accredited psychotherapist, I offer a steady, grounded presence, helping you find your footing and build resilience. We can work together to make sense of your feelings and discover practical ways forward.

Approach

Responding to critical incidents, I shape the work around what feels manageable for you—small steps, clear focus, and gentle checkpoints. Sessions take place in Limerick or online, usually paced to suit your rhythm with options for short check-ins between meetings. We use mindful grounding, careful exploration of dreams and practical strategies to untangle overwhelming reactions and build day-to-day coping. People adjusting after trauma, facing addiction or relationship strain often find this measured, collaborative way helpful.
