About Sorcha
Sorcha Coulston is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and grief. She works with people living with mood conditions including bipolar disorder, and supports those managing addictions, sleep and eating concerns. Sorcha encourages a collaborative approach and sees clients as the experts in their own lives.
Sorcha draws on several well known talking therapies to shape each session around a person’s needs.
Background and approach
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and take steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking patterns and practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas are used when relationships and closeness are part of the difficulty.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Sorcha aims to build calmer ways of responding to stress, stronger self-compassion, and clearer decision making when life changes arrive. She also supports people working through grief and separation, and those wanting coaching-style help with life direction and purpose.
With three years of professional experience, Sorcha combines listening with practical strategies. She works in English and is available to people in different countries. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Sorcha’s practice is grounded in respect and patience. Her focus is on walking alongside people as they try out new approaches, notice what helps, and build more steady ways of coping over time.

Therapies that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take small steps that reflect what matters to them. This can suit worries about anxiety, low mood or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to change mood and panic symptoms, which often works well when people want structured tasks and clear exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people try different ways of relating when past hurts affect current connections.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss options and work together with the client to decide which combination of methods feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and practical needs guide those decisions so the work fits the person rather than the other way round.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into daily life more easily, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it simpler to keep continuity during life changes and to use worksheets or guided exercises between appointments.
