Prisca Coull, BACP

Prisca Coull is a counselling and psychotherapist licensed in the United Kingdom with over six years of experience supporting adults and young people. She works across university counselling services, a private practice that accepts GP referrals, and with employment and organisational referrals, bringing a wide clinical background to each setting.

Earlier in her career she worked as a pupil support assistant and provided counselling to school-aged children and a children's helpline, experience that informs her calm, grounded approach with families, individuals and couples. Her clinical work spans a broad range of presenting concerns, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, self-harm, bereavement and grief, abuse, relationship difficulties and many other issues affecting wellbeing.

Her training includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive-behavioural Therapy (CBT), a Master’s degree, a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, and a BSc in Public Administration. She also holds BACP as a professional credential, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Prisca draws on a person-centred humanistic foundation - offering empathic listening, reflection, compassion and unconditional positive regard - combined with evidence-informed CBT techniques. She aims to empower people to explore difficulties, make meaningful changes and take ownership of decisions. Treatment is tailored to each person’s needs, and Prisca frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances support with practical skills and reflection.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work

Prisca uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive space where empathic listening, reflection and unconditional positive regard help people explore their feelings and values. This approach is well suited to those seeking greater self-understanding, improved relationships and a non-directive, compassionate alliance with a therapist.

She also integrates cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress and unhelpful coping strategies. CBT offers structured tools that can produce measurable changes in mood and functioning.

Attachment-based principles inform her work with relationship and intimacy-related issues by exploring early patterns of connection and how they influence current bonds and responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Prisca works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the balance of person-centred support and skill-based interventions over time.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent support around work, family or geographic constraints. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, help maintain continuity during life transitions, and enable therapy for international clients and those who prefer remote sessions.
