About Alana
Alana Sully is an ACA counsellor in Australia with six years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She has helped people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, cope with grief and loss, and adapt to major life changes. She also has experience working with carers, suicide prevention, and disaster recovery work.
Alana focuses on straightforward, practical conversations. She listens for the habits that keep problems repeating and works with each person to try different ways of responding. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice what matters to them and build small, usable skills for everyday life.
Her approach draws on a mix of methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred work. That means sessions may include mindfulness exercises, practical problem-solving and time for reflecting on values and choices. The emphasis is on what helps in real situations rather than abstract theories.
Alana commonly supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, career stress, low self-esteem and the ongoing effects of trauma or loss. She also works with ADHD-related challenges, communication problems and issues that arise for carers and those facing serious illness.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Alana offers sessions in English and does not take international clients.
How Alana uses online practice and therapeutic approaches
Alana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change behaviour in stressful situations.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which gives space for people to speak about what matters while the counsellor listens without judgement. Together they decide which methods to use based on the person’s goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaborative decision is treated as part of the therapy process.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and how sessions can fit into everyday life during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
