About Sorcha
Sorcha Coulston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety and the stress of everyday life. She works with adults who are struggling with mood, motivation, grief, and self-esteem. Sorcha speaks English and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions.
She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and uses that as the starting point for change. Sorcha encourages people to notice what matters to them and to build on small strengths.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person. Sorcha uses a mix of approaches that suit the issue and the person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable steps.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps when patterns of thinking and behaviour keep problems going. Attachment-informed ideas guide work around relationships and self-worth. Her background includes three years of professional practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
That experience includes supporting people with bipolar disorder, grief, addiction-related concerns, and trauma-related stress. Sessions can focus on day-to-day coping, emotional regulation, or longer-term life goals. Sorcha pays attention to practical tools alongside conversations about meaning and values.
She aims to make change feel possible and realistic. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows according to the therapist's availability and the site's subscription arrangements.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for panic, social anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns influence current connection and self-worth. It can help with intimacy issues, trust, and reacting strongly in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will choose methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means sessions can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
