Sorcha Coulston is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and grief.

About Sorcha

Sorcha Coulston is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and grief. She supports people feeling low self-esteem, struggling with mood disorders such as bipolar, and those facing loss or major life changes. Sorcha writes that taking the first step toward a happier life takes courage and she aims to be a steady presence during that process.

She works in a way that recognises each person as the expert on their own story.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Sorcha listens to what matters most, and then helps clients try new ways of coping that fit their everyday life. Sorcha uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue.

She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build flexible responses to difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and early patterns affect current behaviours. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to make sessions useful from the first meetings.

She also offers coaching-style support for practical goals such as motivation, career choices and sleep routines. People seeking help with addictions, intimacy issues, body image or caregiver stress can also explore these areas with her. Sorcha holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients by online formats. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

How Sorcha’s approaches work online

Sorcha often uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, panic, low mood and sleep issues.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy which helps people clarify what matters to them and act in line with those values even when feelings are difficult. This approach can support coping with grief, chronic stress and ongoing mood struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sorcha will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that suit their situation. That collaboration means the plan can change as needs shift and progress is made.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want shorter, more frequent contact. These formats aim to give flexibility while keeping the core therapeutic conversation intact.
