About Suteeporn

Suteeporn "Su" Sullivan uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship strain. Su draws on eight years of clinical experience and works in Australia as an ACA counsellor. She speaks English and Thai and aims to make therapy simple and direct for busy lives.

Su focuses on the impact of attachment and life stress on everyday functioning. She helps people who feel stuck by teaching skills to manage strong emotions and rebuild trust in relationships. Sessions often look at patterns that keep problems repeating and small steps to change them.

Her background includes psychology studies and a master’s in counselling. That training supports a mix of therapies - from cognitive strategies to acceptance-based and emotion-focused work. Su adapts the method to what each person needs rather than following a single model.

Su describes therapy as team work. She listens first, then offers clear tools and simple exercises to practise between sessions. The work can include learning new ways to talk about feelings, setting boundaries, and handling intense reactions so daily life feels more manageable.

People come for many reasons: low mood, grief, parenting strain, anger, compassion fatigue, dissociation, or challenges after separation. Su also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, communication and commitment issues. Her style is warm, straightforward and centred on the client’s goals.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It teaches values-based action so people can move toward what matters despite hard emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people change the way they relate to others. It is useful for communication and trust issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Su will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily routine. That means trying different strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school or caregiving by removing travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions without video when audio suits better or bandwidth is limited. Su combines practical skills, relational exploration and brief home practices to help people apply what they learn between sessions.
