Fantastic workshop for parents of teenagers this January in FourSwans, Duleek:

✨️Join Dr. Malie Coyne, Chartered Clinical Psychologist, University of Galway Lecturer, parent of teens, and bestselling Author of Love in, Love out, for an engaging workshop designed to support parents of teenagers.

✨️Malie will explore what is happening inside the “tricky and amazing” teenage brain, and why adolescence can bring heightened emotions, increased pressures, and sensitivity to stress and social comparison.

✨️Drawing on developmental psychology and Compassion-Focused Therapy, Malie will share practical tools to help parents respond to their teen’s behaviour with steadiness, empathy, and confidence.

✨️Topics include emotional regulation, self-criticism, building resilience, supporting wellbeing, and strengthening connection at home. Parents will also learn how to cultivate self-compassion for themselves during challenging moments.

✨️The workshop blends relatable examples, reflection exercises, and time for Q&A. Malie’s warm, down-to-earth style aims to leave parents feeling reassured, empowered, and more connected to their teenager.

ATTENTION ALL THERAPISTS:

CALLING ALL COUNSELLORS AND PSYCHOTHERAPISTS!! LETS MAKE 2026 THE YEAR WE MADE A STAND FOR SURVIVORS:

We are getting stickers/posters made for all therapists who would like to display them in their workplace to let their clients know that it’s a safe space for survivors to heal as we pledge never to hand over their counselling notes. It’s really important that as many therapists as possible get involved with this as we need to shut down this abhorrent practice whilst we wait for Jim O’Callaghan to come to his senses!!
So if you’re a therapists who wants to participate and display the stickers/posters please comment below or DM this page and we will get started on arranging distribution ❤️

Moving into 2026 I want to make a promise to all my existing and future clients: I will continue to fight for the BAN on the use of survivors counselling notes being used in court cases of sexual assault, r**e and violence. And until these changes are made by this government I will NOT hand over survivors private, confidential counselling notes to be used against them by the defence legal team.

I urge all other therapists to join me and publicly make this pledge so that 2026 can be the beginning of the end of this horrific practice ❤️

2025 has been a year of getting to know some of the most incredible women I’ve ever met! What sets them apart from others is that they use their life experiences and their voices not for personal gain but to help others. These women have displayed such strength, selflessness, humility…..they don’t take crap but they are open to feedback. Because taking accountability rather than always looking to blame or excuse poor decisions is something which separates strong powerful women from insecure little girls ❤️

As we approach the end of 2025 I just want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

2025 has been a challenging year for so many of us, but having the right supports is the key to taking the learning from the tough times and letting go of the negativity. I have had the honour of walking beside so many of you this year as you processed and healed. And for that I am truly grateful!

Over the next two weeks we will be bombarded by messages that we are all meant to be “happy and bright”, laughing with friends and celebrating with family….this is NOT a reality for most yet it will appear that it is! Therefore I will be offering sessions over the Christmas break for any of my clients who would like a space to decompress, process or even just for a vent and a laugh! I’ll be there for all of it!

Counselling room will be open on Tuesday 23rd December and Tuesday 30th December, just message me at any stage to secure your time.

Wishing you all a peaceful break and remember:
TAKE TIME TO RECHARGE YOU MIND BODY AND SOUL THIS CHRISTMAS TIME ❤️
