About Ann

Ann O' Sullivan is a UK-licensed therapist with four years of professional practice and membership in the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She holds a Level 5 CBT Practitioner Diploma and a Level 5 Person-Centred Practitioner Diploma, qualifications that reflect advanced practitioner-level training in both structured, evidence-informed techniques and a supportive, client-focused approach.

She works from the principle that each person is the expert in their own life story and brings strengths that can be drawn on to meet current challenges. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and person-centred methods, she offers structured sessions that aim to make thoughts and patterns easier to understand and manage. Her practice addresses anxiety, stress, low mood, intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties, bereavement, and a range of addiction-related concerns.

Ann also reports many years of work specifically supporting people with addiction issues, and she integrates that experience into treatment plans that look beyond symptoms to underlying causes such as trauma or major life changes. Her goal is to help clients build practical coping tools, increase confidence, and achieve lasting, meaningful change in their day-to-day lives. She works with adults facing family complexity, workplace pressures, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss.

Approaches That Guide Online Support

Ann combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in practical and compassionate ways. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping people tap into their own resources and resilience - it is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and improving communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns - it is often helpful for anxiety, panic, intrusive thoughts, low mood, and many day-to-day coping challenges. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused ideas to address relationship patterns and attachment-related concerns when needed.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Ann will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so the therapy fits the client's needs. That collaborative process helps ensure the approach remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without travel, allow for continuity during life changes, and give clients multiple ways to engage in therapy that suit their everyday routines.
