Prisca Coull is a counselling and psychotherapist licensed in the United Kingdom with more than 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 referrals from general practitioners, and provides services for employment and organisational referrals. Earlier in her career she supported children as a pupil support assistant, offered counselling to school-aged clients, and contributed to a children’s helpline, bringing experience with diverse developmental and educational needs.

Her clinical work includes one-to-one therapy, family and couple work, and support for a wide variety of concerns such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, self-harm, bereavement and grief, abuse, and relationship difficulties. Prisca’s 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 is also accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Grounded in a person-centred humanistic viewpoint, Prisca emphasises empathic listening, reflection, compassion, and unconditional positive regard while integrating CBT techniques where helpful. She aims to empower clients to explore their difficulties, develop resilience, and make decisions that align with their values, tailoring each treatment plan to the individual’s specific needs and goals.

Approaches That Guide Online Support and Therapy

Prisca integrates client-centered (person-centered) and cognitive behavioral approaches into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening, acceptance, and creating space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings - it is well suited to supporting self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with intrusive memories or distressing reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns formed in early life and how they show up in adult relationships - it can be useful for intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment difficulties.

Finding the right approach 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 interventions and pacing so the work feels appropriate and manageable for the individual.

Online therapy with Prisca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
