About Prisca

Prisca Coull is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety, and parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with addiction, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career changes and depression.

Prisca combines person-centred ways of working with cognitive-behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and practical steps clients can try between meetings. She aims to help people clarify choices and manage the immediate pressures of daily life.

Her background includes work in university counselling services, private practice with GP referrals, and employment and organisational referrals. Earlier roles included pupil support work and providing counselling to school-age children and a children's helpline, which contributed to her experience supporting people across different life stages.

She holds a postgraduate diploma in cognitive-behavioural therapy and a postgraduate diploma in person-centred counselling, plus a Master’s degree and a BSc in Public Administration. These studies inform a mix of talking and skills-based work in sessions.

Prisca has lived and worked in multiple countries, which she says broadened her perspective on relationships and culture. She offers therapy in English and Igbo and accepts international clients.

Sessions are aimed at adults who want to tackle family and parenting stresses, relationship difficulties, or personal challenges such as anxiety, grief or changing life roles. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Prisca draws primarily on person-centred ideas and cognitive-behavioural methods. Person-centred work means the therapist listens, reflects and helps you make sense of feelings and relationships. It is useful for sorting through family tensions and parenting worries in everyday language. Cognitive-behavioural techniques focus on identifying patterns of thinking and trying small behaviour changes. They can help with anxiety, sleep or mood by introducing short, practical exercises.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide what to try first. That collaborative process can include adjusting the balance between talking and skills work as needs change.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family routines, such as using a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel to appointments. It also lets people use a phone call when video would add complexity, or choose video when seeing facial cues helps the conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can advise which format will best match your circumstances and aims.
