About Sorcha

Sorcha Coulston offers down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She works with individuals facing grief, relationship and family tensions, and those managing mood differences such as bipolar. Sorcha meets people where they are and focuses on small, practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

She uses a mix of talking approaches including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work.

Background and approach

Sessions often centre on understanding difficult feelings and the patterns that keep those feelings stuck. Conversations aim to help people notice what matters to them and try new ways of responding to old problems. Sorcha trained and practises as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom.

She has three years of professional work experience helping people with confidence, motivation and coping after loss. In sessions she keeps language simple and practical. People can expect to look at thoughts, emotions and behaviours and practise small experiments between meetings.

The focus is on building steady coping skills rather than quick fixes. She also supports people with concerns such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD related difficulties. Sorcha pays attention to attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress and wider life purpose questions as they come up in therapy.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name strong emotions and how those emotions shape relationships and behaviour. It can be useful for anyone who wants to make sense of painful feelings and change long-standing interaction patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and taking steps that match what matters most. It often helps with anxiety, depression, stress and problems that come back again and again.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns can influence the way someone relates to others now. It can be helpful for people worried about trust, closeness or repeating difficult relationship routines.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
