Prisca Coull , BACP

Prisca Coull is a counselling and psychotherapist licensed in the United Kingdom with six years of experience supporting adults and young people through a wide range of life challenges. She works across university counselling services, a private practice that receives referrals from GPs, and with organisational and employment referrals, bringing a breadth of clinical settings to her work.

Earlier roles included pupil support work and providing counselling to schoolchildren and a children's helpline, which informed her strengths in working with young people and those with additional support needs. Her clinical experience encompasses individual adults, families, and couples facing difficulties such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, self-harm, bereavement and grief, abuse, and relationship problems.

Prisca holds a postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a Master’s degree and a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, and a BSc in Public Administration. She is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional standards.

Her practice draws on a person-centred, humanistic foundation - emphasising empathic listening, reflection, compassion, and unconditional positive regard - combined with CBT techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Travel and work in several countries have broadened her cultural perspective and inform a flexible, nonjudgmental approach. Prisca aims to empower people to explore their difficulties, make decisions that feel right for them, and build resilience when life feels overwhelming.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Prisca integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her online work to meet each person where they are. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of connection and emotional response - it can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or recurring relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy, sometimes called person-centred therapy, emphasises empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and the client’s own capacity for growth - it suits people seeking a compassionate space to explore identity, self-esteem, grief, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with specific symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is often part of the work itself. Prisca works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, test different methods, and adapt plans based on what feels most helpful, drawing on her person-centred foundation to shape the process. Licensed professionals and therapists generally tailor interventions to each person’s needs, and Prisca follows that same collaborative model.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
