About Sorcha
Sorcha Coulston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what is worrying them and find practical ways forward. Sorcha holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of professional experience to her work.
She understands how mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar disorder can affect daily life and relationships.
Background and approach
Sorcha also supports people managing addictions, sleep problems, anger and panic, and those struggling with identity and intimacy-related issues. Trauma and abuse are listed among the concerns she addresses. Sorcha uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to pinpoint thinking patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship patterns and connection are central to the issue. Sessions often focus on small, practical steps.
Clients work on clearer communication, coping strategies for panic and anxiety, or plans to improve sleep and daily routine. Sorcha sees therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
A straightforward approach and steady support are central to her practice for those wanting to build resilience and move forward.

Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and taking small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods collaboratively to see what fits best. That means sessions can change over time as different techniques are tested and adjusted together.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect. Video calls are useful when you want face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write, want flexible check-ins, or need a quieter way to share between calls. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity of care when travel or schedules change.
