Ann O' Sullivan

Ann O' Sullivan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and major life changes. She uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working that recognises the client's own strengths. Ann holds a BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience.

Her sessions are practical and structured. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people understand thoughts and patterns that affect mood and behaviour. The work often focuses on building coping tools, reducing intrusive thoughts, and easing panic or overwhelming worry.

Ann has a long history of working with people affected by addiction and the knock-on effects this can have on work, health and relationships. She aims to explore what sits behind addictive patterns and to help clients find ways to change those behaviours that no longer serve them.

She also supports people through bereavement and difficult family situations, offering steady, patient listening alongside practical steps to manage day-to-day life. Ann pays attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, and issues such as phobias or obsessive thoughts when these are part of a client's concerns.

Appointments focus on clear goals. Ann works collaboratively to increase confidence and develop lasting, manageable strategies. People meet a calm, non-judgemental counsellor who prioritises respect and practical progress.
