About Suteeporn

Suteeporn "Su" Sullivan uses relationship-focused methods to help people strengthen connections and manage emotional pain. She draws on the Gottman Method alongside therapies that focus on values, attachment, and practical thinking.

Background and approach

Su speaks English and Thai and brings eight years of practice in Australia to each session. Su aims for straightforward, calm conversations that get to what matters most.

She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the ongoing effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, anger and low self-esteem.

Much of Su's work looks at how past attachment and loss shape present relationships. She helps people notice patterns such as avoidance, control or dependency and learn different ways to relate.

This can include addressing communication problems, commitment concerns, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence. Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive-behavioural tools.

Sessions are practical and focused on small, sustainable changes people can try between meetings. The aim is to build emotional safety and clearer communication, not quick fixes.

Su holds ACA credentials, and she combines her background in psychology with a Master of Counselling to guide her work. People looking for help can expect respectful, paced support that pays attention to cultural context, migration stress and feelings of abandonment or shame.

How relational and values-based approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It suits anxiety, depression and situations where motivation or avoidance gets in the way of change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating online or in person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as trust grows and priorities shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options suit short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options give flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time and let people fit therapy into busy days.
