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 in a range of settings. She works as a university counselling psychotherapist, maintains a private practice that accepts GP referrals, and provides services for employment and organisational referrals. Early in her career she supported pupils with additional needs as a pupil support assistant and provided counselling to schoolchildren and a children's helpline, which helped shape her work with young clients.

Her clinical experience includes working with individuals, families, and couples on issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, self-harm, bereavement and grief, abuse, and relationship difficulties. She draws on a postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a Master’s degree, a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, and a BSc in Public Administration. She also holds BACP, a recognised professional counselling membership in the UK that indicates adherence to professional standards.

Having lived and travelled in countries including India, Spain, Angola, Singapore, and Australia, she brings cultural awareness and adaptability to her practice. Her therapeutic stance is rooted in person-centred principles - empathic listening, reflection, compassion, and unconditional positive regard - combined with cognitive behavioural strategies. She aims to empower clients to explore difficulties, make meaningful choices, and tailor treatment plans to each person’s unique needs, whether they are navigating stress, relationship concerns, grief, or other life changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Prisca integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and can help people work through difficulties in intimacy, trust, and connection. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration, offering a supportive space for clients to explore feelings and decisions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Prisca works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the pace and techniques to what feels most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. For many clients, this accessibility supports consistent engagement and makes it simpler to receive support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
