About Prisca

Prisca Coull is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and codependency. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and to regain a sense of control when life feels overwhelming.

Prisca practises from a person-centred perspective. That means sessions focus on empathic listening, reflection and supporting the client's own choices. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, so conversations can include practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Her background includes work in university counselling and private practice, and she has taken referrals from general practitioners and organisations. Prisca has experience counselling people affected by trauma, abuse, self-harm, bereavement, and a wide range of emotional and relationship concerns.

Pools of experience outside formal counselling include work as a pupil support assistant and time with a children's helpline, which contributed to her awareness of different ways people cope. She has lived and travelled in several countries, and says those experiences have broadened her understanding of cultural differences in relationships and distress.

Prisca holds a postgraduate diploma in cognitive-behavioural therapy, a master's degree, and a postgraduate diploma in person-centred counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are tailored to each client's needs and values, with collaborative planning and practical steps when useful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Prisca draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive-behavioural therapy in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships influence current patterns, and it can help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours in close relationships. Cognitive-behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and it often includes practical exercises to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Prisca works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and circumstances. She adapts conversations and techniques as therapy progresses so the plan matches what the client needs and prefers.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time and let them join from a quieter space. The therapist will explain how sessions will run and help choose an option that best fits your schedule and needs.
