About Sorcha
Sorcha Coulston is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and bipolar disorder. She also supports people facing motivation problems, family conflict and loss.
She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps someone can try between meetings. The emphasis is on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, then trying different ways of responding to them.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside other approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work. That mix is used to help people plan manageable changes and to make sense of difficult feelings. Conversations include simple tools for handling panic, low mood and rumination.
She pays particular attention to attachment concerns and to how relationships affect mood and self-image. Work can cover body image, communication problems, control issues and caregiver stress. People also bring difficulties with sleep, eating, anger and isolation.
Sessions are practical and focused on small, achievable goals. The aim is to give clear options that someone can try at home and then review in the next meeting. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Many people work with CBT to spot unhelpful thoughts and to try small experiments that change patterns of worry or avoidance. CBT can be useful for panic, low mood and social anxiety by breaking problems into manageable steps.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing emotions and committing to actions that match personal values, which can help when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape responses to stress and can help with trust, communication and closeness issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and test methods that suit those aims. Sessions are collaborative and the plan can change as a person learns what helps.
