Prisca Coull , BACP

Prisca Coull is a United Kingdom-licensed counselling and psychotherapist with six years of experience supporting adults and young people. She practices across university counselling services, private practice with GP referrals, and organisational employment referrals, bringing a varied clinical background to each therapeutic relationship.

Her early work included supporting pupils with additional needs as a pupil support assistant and providing counselling for school-age children and a children's helpline. These roles helped develop practical skills in listening, crisis response, and adapting interventions to the developmental needs of younger clients.

Prisca’s clinical work spans individual adults, families, and couples, addressing a broad range of concerns such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, self-harm, bereavement and grief, abuse, and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues related to addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, career transitions, and neurodiversity among others.

Her training includes a postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - a focused course in evidence-informed strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - a Master’s degree, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, which emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard. She also holds a BSc in Public Administration and the BACP credential, indicating professional affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Travel and living experiences in countries including India, Spain, Angola, Singapore, and Australia have broadened her cultural perspective and informed a flexible, respectful approach to differences in identity and ways of relating. Prisca combines a person-centred, humanistic stance with cognitive behavioural techniques, tailoring conversation and treatment plans to each person’s unique situation.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that encourages exploration, empowerment, and practical steps toward change. Prisca recognizes that seeking help can feel challenging and aims to support people through stressful, anxious, or overwhelming moments toward clearer choices and greater resilience.

How Prisca’s Therapeutic Approaches Translate to Online Care

Prisca integrates client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to support people in an online setting. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening, reflection, and unconditional positive regard - it helps people explore their feelings, strengthen self-awareness, and build self-esteem by being met with acceptance. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-based ideas also inform her work by attending to relationship patterns and early connection experiences, which is helpful for intimacy issues, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. Prisca works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the plan remains personally relevant.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, or international time zones. These options increase accessibility and allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while still focusing on meaningful progress and support.
