About Sorcha
Sorcha Coulston meets people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or shifts in mood. She introduces calm structure and clear steps so conversations feel manageable. She works in plain language and focuses on practical changes that make daily life easier.
Sorcha is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellor with three years of professional experience. She helps people with depression, bipolar disorder, addictions and sleep or eating concerns.
How Sorcha works
She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family issues and feelings of isolation or shame. In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to each person. Sorcha believes clients are the experts in their own lives and builds on their strengths.
Together they set small, realistic goals and try out different ways to manage emotions and behaviour. Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment methods, attachment-focused ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. That blend aims to make sense of painful patterns and then test new ways of responding.
Mindfulness and emotionally focused work are used when people want to reconnect with themselves or others. Sorcha welcomes people who want straightforward, steady support through change. She offers work that balances practical coping skills with gentler reflection on values and relationships.
The aim is clearer choices, fewer overwhelm moments and a better sense of forward direction.

Online support options
How Sorcha's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to you. It helps people make small, values-led choices even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting, and it can help when people want more supported, reliable patterns with others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour into steps you can change, which often eases anxiety, panic and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sorcha will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try approaches and adjust the mix as they learn what fits best, so the plan evolves with the client’s needs.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to match different days and routines. Video lets conversations feel close when face-to-face contact matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection, want shorter touchpoints, or need flexible timing. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caregiving or travel.
