About Prisca

Prisca Coull is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and addictions. She also helps with parenting concerns, career stress, eating and sleeping problems, and issues linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Prisca blends person-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, so sessions balance emotional exploration with clear steps to try outside sessions. She emphasises empathy, non-judgemental listening and helping people make decisions that suit their lives.

Her background includes work in university counselling, private practice and employment-related referrals. She has provided support in school settings and for helplines, which has informed her approach to short-term and ongoing difficulties.

Prisca holds a postgraduate diploma in cognitive-behavioural therapy, a master’s degree and a postgraduate diploma in person-centred counselling, and has a BSc in Public Administration. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her experience of living and travelling in several countries has shaped a flexible, culturally aware way of working. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and values, with a focus on building practical skills alongside understanding emotions.

To begin, she invites people to reflect on their priorities and to plan manageable steps. The work is collaborative and paced to suit the individual rather than fixed to any single method.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings. It is useful for difficulties with intimacy, trust and long-term relationship patterns.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so people feel heard and can explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach suits those needing space to process grief, shame or stress without directive pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping strategies.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Prisca will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods feel most useful. The plan can change as the work progresses and is guided by what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when travelling or working remotely. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm the available online options when booking. Many people find that remote sessions allow focused conversations, shorter check-ins when needed, and easier access to follow-up exercises between meetings.
