About Padraic
Padraic Devlin is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. He began counselling in 2015 and works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and anger. He also supports those dealing with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career pressures and changes in life circumstances.
Padraic uses a mix of approaches with a strong person-centred emphasis. That means the client’s experience leads the work and conversations guide what happens next. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift unhelpful thought patterns and on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns.
In sessions he focuses on the quality of the working relationship. He aims to build a straightforward, respectful rapport so practical work can follow. People often start by talking through what is causing tension, how anger or frustration shows up, and what they want to change.
Therapy can include short-term solutions and longer conversations about past experiences. Padraic will use structured exercises when helpful and quieter, reflective discussion at other times. He encourages clear goals and regular review to see what is working.
He accepts international clients and offers appointments in English. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How Padraic uses different approaches in online sessions
Padraic blends person-centred practice with cognitive behavioural techniques in ways that fit online work. Person-centred therapy focuses on what matters to the client and follows their lead, which suits open conversation and pacing in video or phone sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers clear tools for changing thoughts and behaviours, useful for managing anger, panic and workplace stress with practical exercises and homework.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to decide whether to emphasise reflective, exploratory work or more structured CBT tasks. That choice depends on the client’s goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions, and it can change over time.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can help fit therapy around daily life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins or evening appointments. It can also allow sessions when people are away from their usual area, though practical arrangements are checked at the start of contact.
