Prisca Coull, BACP

Prisca Coull is a counselling and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience supporting adults and young people. She combines work in university counselling services, a private practice that accepts GP and organisational referrals, and earlier roles that included pupil support and counselling for school children and a children's helpline. Her practice has involved one-to-one work with adults, families, and couples across a wide range of concerns, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, self-harm, bereavement and grief, abuse, and relationship difficulties.

Prisca holds a postgraduate diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a Master’s degree, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, in addition to a BSc in Public Administration. She is also listed with BACP. Travel and living experiences in countries such as India, Spain, Angola, Singapore, and Australia have informed her open and culturally aware approach to practice.

Her work is grounded in person-centred principles - empathic listening, reflection, compassion, and unconditional positive regard - while drawing on CBT techniques to address thinking and behaviour patterns. Prisca aims to empower clients to explore difficulties, make meaningful changes, and take ownership of decisions regardless of any diagnosis. She tailors session content and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs. Seeking help for stress, anxiety, depression, or overwhelming life circumstances is presented as a first, courageous step, and Prisca offers support throughout that process.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support

Prisca integrates client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centred therapy emphasises empathic listening, acceptance, and building a collaborative relationship so clients can explore feelings and personal values; it often helps with issues around self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, and emotional processing. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical strategies and structured work, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with challenging patterns.

Attachment-Based ideas also inform her work, bringing attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helping clients address attachment wounds or intimacy-related concerns. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Prisca works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work, family, or geographical constraints, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from registered professionals in different locations.
