Suteeporn "Su" Sullivan, ACA

Suteeporn "Su" Sullivan uses practical, experience-based therapy to help people facing big life changes. Su works in straightforward ways so clients can talk about stress, anxiety, grief and midlife questions without jargon. She meets people where they are and focuses on small, realistic steps they can use each day to feel steadier.

Su has eight years of counselling experience and holds the ACA credential. She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions often look at how past hurts affect current choices and relationships.

People come to Su with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, relationship strain and compassion fatigue. She also helps with shame, guilt, attachment difficulties, separation and immigration-related stress. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on clear strategies and emotional understanding.

In sessions Su supports people through practical skills and reflective work. That can mean learning tools to manage intense feelings, noticing patterns that keep problems repeating, or practising new ways of communicating. The aim is to help people build more steady habits and kinder self-talk.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person. Su speaks English and Thai and works with people in Australia who are exploring major life transitions, including midlife questions and shifting roles.

How Su's approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and midlife decisions where direction and meaning feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often using practical exercises and homework to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Su will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps make sure the sessions feel relevant and realistic for day-to-day life.

If you are considering online or remote work, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use quieter surroundings or low-bandwidth options if video is difficult. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote work so practical skills and reflective conversations continue between sessions.
