About Prisca

Prisca Coull is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with six years' experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in university counselling, private practice and with employment and GP referrals. Prisca supports adults with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression and the everyday pressures of life. She also lists work with issues such as self-esteem, addictions, ADHD and parenting concerns.

Prisca uses a person-centred way of working that centres on listening and reflective dialogue. She combines this with cognitive-behavioural ideas to help people notice thinking patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions involve talking through current problems, building practical steps and reviewing what helps or gets in the way.

Her background includes a postgraduate diploma in cognitive-behavioural therapy and a postgraduate diploma in person-centred counselling, supported by a master’s degree and a BSc in Public Administration. She has also worked in school support roles and with helplines, and in higher education counselling settings.

Prisca describes her style as supportive and collaborative. She will work with clients to set clear goals and check progress as therapy continues. She is comfortable addressing both practical issues like starting a job or managing sleep, and deeper difficulties such as past loss or attachment wounds.

She speaks English and Igbo and has experience living in several countries, which she says has broadened her understanding of different cultures. For people worried about the stresses of early adulthood, Prisca offers straightforward, conversational support to talk things through and try new coping strategies.

How Prisca uses therapy approaches online

Prisca often blends person-centred work with cognitive-behavioural techniques. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, reflection and helping people clarify what matters most to them. It can help with exploring identity, relationships and feelings of being stuck. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Prisca will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to prioritise. That collaborative planning is reviewed as therapy progresses so the approach can change if needed.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, shifts or busy weeks. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to be on camera if you prefer audio only. Registered or accredited professionals can make these practical arrangements with you when you set up a first appointment.
