About Pricilla
Pricilla Finn is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with seven years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and international clients are accepted.
She focuses on practical conversation and steady planning. Sessions look at what is happening now and what patterns led there. She also addresses specific issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency and divorce or separation. The aim is to make thoughts and feelings clearer so decisions feel more manageable.
Her approach adapts to what each person brings. That can mean working through difficult memories, building better ways to cope with anger or substance use, or talking about how family history affects current relationships. She helps people consider options and practice different ways of responding in day-to-day life.
Pricilla describes her style as respectful and sensitive. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and structures talking so it is focused and practical. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted to reflect what is useful.
People choose her when they want direct help with a mix of emotional and practical problems. She also supports those dealing with blended family issues, caregiver stress, dissociation, control and commitment difficulties. The work is collaborative and aimed at clearer thinking and steadier functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Pricilla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach involves talking through patterns of thinking and behaviour to help reduce anxiety and depression. This method looks at current thoughts and how they affect feelings and actions, which can help with stress, low mood and decision making.Another approach focuses on relationships and attachment. This looks at past and present relationship patterns and how they shape trust, closeness and conflict. It is often useful for problems such as abandonment, codependency, blended family difficulties and commitment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try, based on the issues, goals and personal preferences. Plans are reviewed and changed if something is not helping.
If you are considering remote sessions, check the current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting appointments around work or family commitments, avoiding travel time and making shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Confirm which formats are available when you schedule so the arrangements suit your day-to-day life.
