Suteeporn "Su" Sullivan, ACA

Suteeporn "Su" Sullivan recognises the courage involved in seeking support and offers calm, steady guidance for people facing difficult times. She brings over eight years of experience to her practice and works from a background in Psychology and a Master of Counselling. As an ACA counsellor (member of the Australian Counselling Association), she combines professional training with a warm, client-focused approach to help people make meaningful change.

Su specialises in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and issues around self-esteem, and she frequently supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, parenting stress, anger and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, caregiving stress, dissociation, and the impacts of domestic or family violence. For couples, Su provides a dedicated space to rebuild trust, improve communication and reconnect emotionally.

Her practice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, allowing Su to tailor interventions to each person or couple. She aims to create a non-judgemental environment where people feel heard and supported as they rebuild safety, strengthen relationships and develop a kinder relationship with themselves.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take practical steps towards a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression and motivational struggles.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and helps individuals and couples understand how early attachment experiences influence current connection, trust and emotional availability. It is particularly helpful for attachment issues, relationship difficulties and the effects of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Su works with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses. When needed, appropriately qualified or registered professionals may be consulted to ensure comprehensive care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats allow people to engage from home or other comfortable settings, fit sessions around work and family commitments, and access consistent support even when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
