About Me

Who am I

Hello, I’m Linda Coyle.

I am a speech and language therapist and music therapist with over 20 years experience in the fields of healthcare and education both in Ireland and New Zealand. Since 2005 I have been providing private speech and language therapy services, initially in Portlaoise, Co. Laois, and since 2008, from Clonakilty, in West Cork.

I am passionate about enabling others to communicate to the best of their ability. My work is centred on some key principles:

  • Listening to what my clients need and want
  • Working in partnership with my clients and their support system
  • Taking a problem-solving and solution focused approach to issues
  • Using best practice to inform the services I offer
  • Providing a flexible service to address the individual needs of my clients


I can provide Expert Reports for medico-legal purposes, including Medical Negligence or Personal Injury cases. Go to lindacoyle.ie for more information.

I also provide other specialised Speaking with confidence services
