About Sorcha
Sorcha Coulston is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder and other mood concerns. Sorcha focuses on practical help for everyday problems and emotional difficulties.
Sorcha sees clients as the expert in their own story and uses that perspective to guide conversations. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people name feelings, spot unhelpful habits and try small changes that can make life feel steadier.
Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix is used to support emotional clarity, improve how people respond to difficult thoughts, and strengthen relationships with self and others.
Sorcha often supports people dealing with trauma, anger, eating and sleeping concerns, addiction-related issues, and career or life transitions. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems and isolation.
People who choose Sorcha can expect a respectful, down-to-earth process. She helps clients set achievable aims, try new ways of responding, and review what works in follow-up sessions. To start, she asks a few questions to match goals and plan the first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and couples notice and name core emotions and how those feelings shape interactions. It is often used when patterns of avoidance or conflict are linked to deeper attachment needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward chosen values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different actions to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sorcha works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. Together they review which techniques suit current problems and try them out to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also make sessions possible for people living abroad, since international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt exercises, emotion-focused conversations and CBT tools for online appointments to keep the work practical and focused.
