About Alana

Alana Sully is a licensed counsellor practising in Australia with six years of professional experience and an ACA credential, indicating professional affiliation with a counselling association. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and major life transitions, offering support that spans carer stress, suicide prevention, disaster recovery and broader mental health challenges.

Alana approaches each client with respect, sensitivity and compassion, shaping sessions to reflect individual needs and goals. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, anger, self-esteem, career difficulties, coping with illness or loss, and the complexities of caregiving and isolation. She combines emotional support with practical strategies to help clients manage symptoms and navigate change.

Recognising the courage involved in seeking help, Alana frames therapy as a collaborative process in which clients’ strengths and preferences guide the pace and focus of treatment. Her aim is to provide steady, tailored support that helps people move toward clearer priorities, healthier coping, and more manageable daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alana integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - this can be useful for stress, anxiety and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and is commonly used for anxiety, depression and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and creating a supportive space where clients lead the pace of work, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and processing grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy schedules or during life transitions. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of care during disruptions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
