Dr David Coleman is a practicing Clinical Psychologist and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of
Psychology in UCD. He specialises in working with children, teenagers and their families. He is probably best
known for the range of television programmes he has presented dealing with childhood struggles, teenage
angst, and other aspects of family life.

David performed a sell out show in the Siamsa Tire Theatre in September 2023. During this live show, David provided a talk on ‘Anxiety in Children and Teenagers’, and received rave reviews from audience members. Following the success of this show, David will embark on a nationwide tour in Autumn 2024.

David is also a bestselling author of 'Parenting is Child’s Play' a guide to raising young children. His second book is a guide for parents of teenagers called 'Parenting is Child’s Play: The Teenage Years'. David’s third book is titled 'The Thriving Family' and is a guide to having a happy and harmonious family life, across all ages and stages of family.

David writes a feature column in the Irish Independent, every Wednesday, providing expert commentary on children, teenagers, and family life. He is also the regular, expert, contributor on ‘Today With Claire Byrne’,on RTÉ Radio 1, on parenting and child and adolescent wellbeing and development.

In the midst of all his media work David still practices as a Clinical Psychologist and unsurprisingly specialises in working with children, teenagers and their families.
