About Prisca

Prisca Coull is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist who supports people facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps with stress, self-esteem, addiction concerns, ADHD and issues around intimacy and sexuality. Prisca works in English and Igbo and welcomes people from different backgrounds, including international clients.

Her style is warm and person-centred. She listens and reflects back what she hears, and aims to help people feel understood. Sessions focus on practical steps and exploring how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. Prisca blends person-centred work with cognitive approaches to make therapy feel both respectful and goal-focused.

Piscas background includes work in university counselling, private practice and with employment referrals. She has experience supporting people after trauma, self-harm, bereavement and abuse, and has worked with concerns such as chronic illness, caregiving stress and body image. Earlier roles included pupil support and helpline work with children and families, which informed her approach to listening and practical support.

She holds a postgraduate diploma in cognitive-behavioural therapy, a masters degree and a postgraduate diploma in person-centred counselling, along with a BSc in Public Administration. Prisca draws on these studies and on lived experience from travelling to many countries to shape a culturally aware practice.

In sessions she aims to help people make decisions that feel right for them. Therapy is offered as a collaborative process, with plans tailored to each persons needs. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to scheduling options.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Prisca uses person-centred work and cognitive-behavioural ideas to guide online sessions. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflection and empathy to help people feel heard and to clarify what matters to them. Cognitive-behavioural approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offer practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Prisca discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods collaboratively. Together they decide which techniques - more exploratory, more pragmatic, or a blend - fit the situation and aims.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or travel, reducing time spent commuting, and keeping continuity when living abroad. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and frequency to fit everyday life while working towards the goals set in therapy.
