About Prisca

Prisca Coull is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing relationship strains, jealousy, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also helps with issues such as self-esteem, addiction, parenting stress and career concerns.

She brings six years of practice across university counselling, independent practice and organisational referrals. Her work includes helping people who have experienced abuse, bereavement, self-harm and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo and she accepts international clients.

Pisca uses a person-centred approach that emphasises empathic listening, reflection and compassion. She blends that with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. The focus is on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels.

In sessions she aims to help people explore feelings, manage stress and make decisions that feel right for them. She invites clients to shape the dialogue and the plan so it fits their needs and goals. Therapy is framed as a collaborative process where the client leads their pace.

Prisca holds a postgraduate diploma in cognitive-behavioural therapy - CBT - and a postgraduate diploma in person-centred counselling, along with a master’s degree. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her varied cultural experience from travel informs a broad, open way of relating to different life stories.

How her therapeutic approaches fit with online therapy

Prisca uses person-centred work and cognitive-behavioural therapy in her practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening, reflection and supporting the client to lead the conversation; it helps people feel heard and make their own decisions. Cognitive-behavioural therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will work with each person to decide what fits best. That conversation is collaborative: goals, preferences and the problem at hand guide which methods are used and how sessions are shaped.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access support if they live far from a counsellor or are juggling work and family commitments.
