Sorcha Coulston
Practical, person-led support for life changes
About Sorcha
Sorcha Coulston offers calm, practical support for people who are feeling overwhelmed. She helps individuals who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood changes, grief and self-esteem struggles. Sorcha works in a straightforward way and focuses on small, useful steps people can take right away.
Sorcha has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She believes people hold knowledge about their own lives and brings a collaborative style to sessions.
Background and approach
That means conversations are guided by the person in front of her and by the goals they want to reach. Her work draws on approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns and learn new ways of responding. She uses elements from cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thinking and behaviour.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas support people to act in line with what matters to them despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused methods also inform her practice, particularly around relationship and intimacy concerns. Sorcha adapts her approach to suit each person rather than following a fixed script.
Sessions aim to be practical, grounded and focused on what the person wants to change. She offers sessions in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their day-to-day life.
To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability. Sorcha supports people who want clearer direction, better coping skills and a kinder relationship with themselves.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. This can be useful for dealing with anxiety, low mood or difficulty making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust, intimacy and communication, and it can help with relationship and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. Sessions are collaborative and adapt as progress is made, so clients can try different techniques and keep what helps them most.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone session, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or want brief, frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus.
