About
Padraic Devlin is a UK-based counsellor living in Northern Ireland who has been practising since 2015. He is BACP-accredited, meaning he has met the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’s standards for professional practice, and he brings 10 years of experience to his work with adults seeking support through challenging times.
His approach is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy, keeping the client at the heart of the process and shaping sessions around what feels most important and relevant to them. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that looks at how patterns of thinking can influence emotions and day-to-day experiences. Padraic believes therapy tends to work best when there is a strong therapeutic relationship - essentially, a sense of trust and connection between counsellor and client - and he focuses on creating that foundation early so the work can feel more manageable.
Padraic has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship difficulties, and coping with grief and loss. He aims to offer a friendly, positive, non-judgemental space, treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring the dialogue and direction of therapy to fit individual needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online sessions
Padraic Devlin integrates Person-Centred Therapy with practical, goal-oriented tools to help clients navigate difficulties such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and other life challenges. In a person-centred framework, the client’s priorities guide the work, with an emphasis on being heard, understood, and supported in a way that respects their values and pace.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with more balanced ways of thinking and responding. CBT can be especially useful when worries feel repetitive, emotions feel overwhelming, or day-to-day coping needs a clearer plan. When helpful, Padraic may incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on strengths, small steps, and practical changes that support the direction a client wants to move in.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Padraic works collaboratively, adjusting the approach based on a client’s goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a flexible way through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose a format that suits their schedule, comfort level, and communication style.
