Dr. Murphy takes a pragmatic, non-judgmental approach rooted in the belief that addiction is almost always a response to pain. He uses EMDR to address the underlying trauma that drives substance use, while motivational interviewing helps clients build their own reasons for change. His style is direct but warm — he doesn't do jargon, and he treats every client as the expert on their own life. He has a particular affinity for working with people who have been told they're "too complex" or "not ready" for therapy.
He offers in-person sessions in Dublin 4 and telehealth across Ireland.
