About Prisca

BACP. 6 years' experience. Prisca Coull works with adults and young people on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions and related concerns. She offers counselling and psychotherapy from a person-centred perspective, combined with cognitive behavioural methods, and speaks English and Igbo.

Prisca describes her core style as person-centred listening with reflective feedback and practical CBT techniques when helpful. She has worked in university counselling, private practice with GP referrals, and with employment and organisation referrals. Earlier roles included pupil support and a children’s helpline, which informed her work with people facing distress and crisis.

Her training includes a postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, a Master’s degree, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling. She also holds a BSc in Public Administration. These qualifications support the combination of talking approaches and structured skills she uses in sessions.

Prisca helps people address everyday problems and deeper patterns. In practical terms that can mean talking through relationship patterns, managing anxiety with CBT techniques, or exploring attachment issues that affect intimacy. She also works with grief, parenting strain, career questions, sleep and eating concerns, and stresses linked to health or caregiving.

Sessions aim to balance listening with clear tools and reflection, so people leave with ideas they can try between meetings. She notes that therapy can be demanding, and encourages people to try a first session to see if her way of working fits their needs.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Prisca combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural methods and emotionally-focused ideas. Person-centred counselling emphasises listening and reflection to help people clarify feelings and make choices about next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) introduces practical tools and exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, sleep and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on patterns in close relationships and the emotions that keep those patterns going, often used for intimacy and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She aims to agree collaboratively which methods to try based on a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and to adjust the plan over time if something is not helping.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who live abroad or who prefer remote appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt person-centred listening and CBT exercises for remote settings so the work remains focused and practical.
