About Prisca

Prisca Coull is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years' experience. She works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, stress, addictions and codependency, among other concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo, and she accepts international clients.

Prisca uses a person-centred way of working. That means she listens, reflects and helps people name what matters to them. She also draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Conversations are practical and focused on what a person wants to change.

Her background includes roles in university counselling, private practice and work with referrals from general practitioners and organisations. She has also supported pupils with additional support needs and worked on a children's helpline, which shaped her experience with a wide range of issues.

Prisca trained in person-centred counselling and holds a postgraduate diploma in cognitive-behavioural therapy, plus a master’s degree. She combines those perspectives to offer both reflective listening and active strategies to manage symptoms and patterns.

In practical terms she helps people understand patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and living around another person's moods or drinking. Sessions can include talking through feelings, testing out new ways of responding, and setting small goals to try between meetings.

Her experience across different countries influenced how she thinks about relationships and culture. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site's steps to complete the matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Prisca blends person-centred practice with cognitive-behavioural work and emotionally-focused ideas. Person-centred work involves reflective listening and helping people name their priorities and values. It supports people who feel lost in relationships or struggle to find their own voice. Cognitive-behavioural work looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and habitual people-pleasing. Emotionally-focused ideas centre on noticing and describing feelings in relationships and can help when intimacy, attachment or recurring conflicts are the main concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Prisca will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods suit their goals and preferences. That discussion can change over time as the work unfolds.

The original biography did not specify session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. It can also let people try talking without being on camera if that feels easier. Registered and accredited professionals use these practical choices to help therapy fit everyday life rather than demanding it reshape the day.
