I used this in the end 

atomic_list_concat(L,', ', 'a, b, c').

L=['a','b','c']

Asumming you have a string (represented by an atom), you can write a procedure atoms_list/2:

atoms_list(Atom, List):-
  atomic_list_concat(['[', Atom, ']'], NAtom), 
  term_to_atom(List, NAtom).

Example:

?- atoms_list('a,b,c', List).
List = [a, b, c].
