Sorcha Coulston works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes.
About Sorcha
Sorcha Coulston works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She supports those facing grief, relationship and family difficulties, and people coping with bipolar disorder. Sorcha writes plainly and aims to make sessions calm and practical for anyone feeling stuck.
Sorcha holds BACP registration, which means she meets standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of professional experience and uses that time to help people build clearer routines and steadier moods.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs. Her approach draws on several methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That mix helps when someone needs both practical skills and space to understand feelings.
Sorcha also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. In a session she listens first, then helps people try small experiments between meetings. Those tasks might be simple steps to improve sleep, manage panic, or change unhelpful thinking.
The focus is on what works in daily life rather than theory. Sorcha also supports people dealing with addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career stress. She pays attention to body image, caregiver strain, and the loneliness that sometimes comes with life transitions.
Her style is steady, down-to-earth and focused on realistic change.

Online support
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current difficulties, personal goals and daily routines, then suggest which methods might fit best. That plan can change as work progresses, and adjustments are made together to match what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, quick problem-solving or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, while keeping the focus on useful steps that improve everyday life.
