About Alana
Alana Sully is an ACA counsellor with six years of clinical experience in Australia. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and major life changes. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, with sessions shaped to each person’s needs and goals.
Alana has also worked with carers, disaster recovery and suicide prevention. She often helps people who are feeling isolated, struggling with self-esteem, or navigating career and money pressures. Her practice includes attention to ADHD, chronic illness and end-of-life concerns.
In sessions she uses straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She pairs this with a client-centred way of listening so people feel heard and understood. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy also appear when they suit a person’s situation.
Alana describes therapy as a collaborative process. She will talk through practical steps you can try between sessions and adjust the plan as things change. The aim is to build coping skills and clearer decision-making, not to rush fixes.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Alana aims to make the process as calm and accessible as possible. If you want a therapist who focuses on real-world problems like money stress, career choices and daily coping, she may be a good fit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behaviour with practical exercises and small experiments between sessions. It suits anxiety, depression and many everyday problems. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s experience and builds a supportive space where they can explore difficult feelings at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. This helps ensure therapy fits your needs and the pace you prefer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions help them fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. Online work can also make it easier to use written exercises, guided mindfulness and shared worksheets in real time. Appropriately qualified counsellors adapt techniques so they work well across different setups and schedules.
