About Padraic
Padraic Devlin is a counsellor based in Northern Ireland with ten years of experience, working with people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress and life changes. He is BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Padraic aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can speak openly and be heard.
He describes his work as person-centred, meaning the client sits at the heart of sessions and the pace is set by the individual's needs. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact, and draws on other practical approaches to help with immediate problems.
Padraic values the relationship between counsellor and client. He believes a strong working connection makes it easier to try things out and to cope with difficult feelings. Building that rapport is an early focus in his sessions.
He has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including panic disorder and panic attacks, bereavement, relationship strain, LGBTQ+ matters, workplace stress and feelings of isolation. He aims to adapt conversations and strategies to each person rather than use a one-size-fits-all method.
Padraic works in English and is available to international clients. He offers a friendly, non-judgemental style and collaborates with people to find the most useful way forward.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on viewing the client as the expert in their own life and building a supportive relationship. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and to be heard without judgement.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical steps to shift patterns that maintain anxiety or panic. It suits people who want clear strategies to manage symptoms and try small experiments between sessions.
Padraic aims to work with clients to find which approach fits best. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on someone’s goals and preferences rather than a fixed plan. He checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the focus as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time, and for some people allow a quieter or more comfortable setting. It also makes it possible to work with counsellors who are based elsewhere, including therapists who accept international clients.
