About Padraic

Padraic Devlin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. He is BACP which means he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Padraic aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and straightforward.

He uses a client-centred approach, putting the person and their priorities at the heart of each session. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at patterns of thinking that can feed anxiety and low mood.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and prefers. Padraic values a good working relationship with the people he meets. He believes that when rapport is established, change becomes easier to pursue.

He works in a respectful, non-judgemental and compassionate manner. His experience includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns and workplace difficulties. He also helps with feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation and compassion fatigue.

Padraic offers practical conversations alongside reflective work. He adapts his style to the situation - sometimes focusing on immediate steps, sometimes looking at deeper patterns. The goal is to work together to find clearer ways forward.

How Padraic blends approaches for online work

Padraic combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room, helping them set the agenda and pace. It suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and offers practical strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He discusses options with each person and adapts methods to fit their goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are made together so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit around life. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and messaging options allow brief check-ins or ongoing written dialogue. These formats increase flexibility and can help people access consistent support from where they are.
