About Ann
Counsellor (BACP), 4 years' experience. Ann O' Sullivan helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related problems, grief and relationship concerns using person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches.
Ann works in a straightforward way. She treats the person as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions aim to identify thoughts and patterns that keep problems going and to build coping tools that fit everyday life.
Her practice pays particular attention to addiction and its causes. She describes addiction as an over-reliance on something people may use to escape other problems. Ann helps people look at underlying issues and at how addiction affects health, work and relationships. She draws on many years of experience supporting people with addictive behaviours.
Anxiety and panic attacks are another common focus. Ann uses cognitive behavioural methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking, and to develop strategies for coping with intense worry and phobic responses. She also supports people dealing with bereavement, helping them make sense of loss and adjust to changed routines.
Her background includes work in children's residential settings, which informed her understanding of complex family dynamics and communication problems. She combines that experience with solution-focused and narrative tools to help people clarify goals, address guilt or shame, and rebuild confidence.

Approaches used in remote counselling
Ann frequently uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and strengths, allowing them to lead the conversation while the counsellor listens and reflects. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ann will discuss how these methods might fit the issues you bring and will adapt the plan based on your goals and preferences. That choice is made together rather than imposed.
If you want to arrange online sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. The practice uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity of contact while balancing work, family and other commitments.
