Elaine Devlin, NCPS

Elaine Devlin, NCPS, is an integrative counsellor who supports adults through stress, anxiety, depression, workplace bullying and other life challenges. She creates a warm, non-judgemental environment where people can feel fully heard and accepted, enabling open exploration of painful feelings such as shame, guilt and fear. NCPS is presented here as a professional counselling credential that reflects her training and commitment to the profession.

Working with both men and women, and with clients who have Down syndrome, Elaine blends techniques from several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. Her integrative style draws on cognitive-behavioural methods, humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, solution-focused techniques and neuro-linguistic programming to help identify obstacles and build practical paths forward.

Elaine describes her counselling as collaborative, warm and compassionate. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to the individual, guiding exploration of emotions and strategies to reduce distress and increase wellbeing. Therapy can be open-ended and adapted for short-term goals or longer work depending on the person’s needs.

Sessions are available face-to-face, by telephone or via video, giving people choice in how they connect. Elaine encourages those who feel ready to make a change to take the first step and begin a process of exploration and growth. She looks forward to working with people who are seeking practical and empathetic support as they navigate difficult moments in life.
