About Elaine

Elaine Devlin, NCPS, works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She supports those struggling with low self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, sleep or eating concerns, and anger. Elaine also helps people facing life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties.

Her counselling style is warm and collaborative. She offers a calm space for someone to talk and be heard. Sessions aim to help people make small, practical changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Elaine draws on a mix of recognised approaches including Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused ideas where these suit the person. The goal is to build coping skills and clearer ways of thinking about problems.

With five years' experience and NCPS listed as a credential, Elaine works with adults and people with Down syndrome. She adapts the pace and tools to the individual, tailoring sessions to what the person finds most helpful. Sessions can be short term for a specific problem or open ended when deeper change is wanted.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and sessions are scheduled according to availability. Elaine aims to make the first step straightforward and practical for someone ready to start.

Her approach is direct and compassionate, focusing on the next small step rather than big promises. The emphasis is on listening, understanding and working together toward clearer, more manageable ways of coping.

How Elaine uses trauma-focused and practical therapies online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people talk about and make sense of painful memories in a paced way. It aims to reduce symptoms linked to past harm and can be useful for post-traumatic stress, panic and flashbacks.

Client‑Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person’s lead so they feel understood and able to find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and to build small habits that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elaine will talk through different options and try practical things together to see what helps. She adapts methods to a person’s goals, pace and preferences rather than sticking to a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to fit varied needs. Video calls are close to face-to-face work. Phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, brief reflections or when writing helps someone gather their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
