Dr. Malie Coyne | Chartered Clinical Psychologist | Author, B.A., M.Sc., D. Psych.Sc., C.Psychol., Ps.S.I.

My name is Malie Coyne, and I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist based in Galway, offering online psychological support to adults, teenagers, parents, and families. I am a Chartered Member of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) and practise in accordance with the PSI Code of Professional Ethics. I am also registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

With over 25 years’ clinical experience across Primary Care, Disability Services, CAMHS, and private practice, I bring a steady and reflective approach to supporting people through complex or overwhelming times. My hope is to create a space where people feel heard, understood, and supported — particularly when things feel confusing, heavy, or difficult to navigate.

My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, developmentally sensitive, and affirming of neurodivergence. I begin with careful listening and thoughtful assessment, helping to make sense of what may be going on and what kind of support is most likely to help.

I work collaboratively, drawing on evidence-based psychological approaches in a grounded and accessible way. I have a particular interest in neurodivergence, informed by both professional experience and personal understanding, and I support individuals and families in recognising their strengths and differences in an affirming and practical way. I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure my work remains current and evidence-based. Above all, I value warmth, validation, and real human connection in the therapeutic space.

Alongside my clinical work, I am the author of Love In, Love Out: A Compassionate Approach to Parenting Your Anxious Child, and Psychological Lead with A Lust for Life’s national Primary Schools Wellbeing Programme, which now reaches over half of primary schools in Ireland. I am also involved in developing their Secondary Schools Programme, and lecture on the Doctor of Psychological Science programme at the University of Galway.

In addition, I provide clinical supervision, psychological duty of care consultancy for television productions, and deliver talks and workshops nationally. Across all areas of my work, I am committed to promoting compassionate, evidence-based mental health support that feels accessible, thoughtful, and deeply human.
