About Alana
Alana Sully is an ACA counsellor in Australia with six years of professional experience. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with carer strain, disaster recovery and broader mental health concerns.
Alana takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people work out practical next steps. Conversations focus on what feels stuck now and small changes that can ease pressure in day-to-day life.
Her work draws on therapies that help people notice patterns, build coping skills and make values-based choices. That can mean learning simple strategies for anxiety, practising focused attention, or testing out different ways of handling difficult emotions. She explains ideas plainly and checks in about what is useful.
People who come because of career uncertainty, low self-esteem or grief can expect structured conversation and collaborative planning. Alana also offers support around ADHD, addictions, anger and compassion fatigue when these issues affect everyday functioning.
Sessions aim to be practical and relevant to the client’s current situation. The counsellor encourages reflection and action in roughly equal measure. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Alana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour, and helps people try practical experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood or change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which ideas to try first and review what feels useful as sessions progress.
