Sue O'Sullivan

I have some availability for new clients.   I work from Monday to Friday during the daytime.   I don’t work in the evenings.

I have 13 years' experience working with adults with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, health issues, bereavement and trauma.  I have a special interest in chronic pain and illness and I am a member of SIRPA (Stress Illness Recovery Practitioner Association).

As well as my private practice, I work with a charity taking referrals from the NHS, Victim Support and Employee Assistance Programs.  I combine theory and interventions from different psychological appraoches.  This enables me to be flexible to work with different needs.

I offer a caring, attentive, supportive space, working with you in a way that feels safe, to explore your difficulties, to empower you to find your own way forward and identify what you need to improve your life, emotional well-being and build resilience for further life challenges. 

I will be interested in your perception of life, how you have come to this view and whether you may want to change outdated beliefs, distorted perceptions or self defeating attitudes.  As you become more self aware you will gain insights to what may troubling or limiting you.  It can lead to a clearer view of the choices and possibilities open to you and develop your own ways to move forward confidently and optimistically.

I work one to one with adults aged 18 and over.  I can see you face to face, via phone or remotely via Zoom .    

I am able to work short-term (usually up to 6 sessions) or longer for deeper exploration and sessions are usually held weekly.

Our first session is for us to decide if we can work together.  I will ask questions about what  you would like to be different in your life, to work towards your goals.   There will be no obligation to continue.    Intermittently , I will review how you are experiencing our work, to ensure you are getting what you need from our sessions.
