Counselling
& Psychotherapy
Who are we?
Elizabeth O'Sullivan
I graduated from the Tivoli Institute with a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I have more than seven years experience in the area of social care working with families and adolescents in trauma. I have worked in the areas of abuse, addiction and homeless services.
As a therapist I aim to provide a supportive and encouraging environment. It is important to me to demonstrate understanding and sensitivity to my clients' feelings and emotions. I feel that through nurturing and valuing my clients' strengths and resources, opportunity is provided to explore their individual experience of distress and encourage insight into patterns of behaviour that may be preventing them from leading fulfilling and satisfying lives.
I provide counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, both adults and adolescents. Some of the areas I work with are Sexuality ( LGBTQ ), Abuse, Domestic Violence, Self harm, Relationships, Depression, Low Self-esteem, Anxiety, or any emotional issue that is causing stress in an individuals life.
My approach is Integrative and I draw on a background of Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt and Cognitive Training. I also hold a degree in Law. I have additional training in Management & Marketing.

I have completed my professional certificate in psychotherapy at PCI College.
I am currently studying for a BSc in Psychotherapy & Counselling at PCI College.
I have worked in social care for more than four years and have worked with Domestic Abuse, Homelessness and Addiction. I have further training in Addiction Counselling.
In counselling we are encouraged to become aware of our own thinking and feeling processes. As a therapist I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment as I understand the need to feel safe in order to be able to explore experiences, thoughts and feelings, both past and present. I believe that people have the potential to understand themselves and the ability to solve their own problems. Therefore, I see my work as counsellor as a collaboration in which I aim to support my clients in their struggle, as they find their own solutions to their concerns and issues.
I provide counselling and psychotherapy for individuals to resolve present and past difficulties and change their lives for the better. My approach is Integrative and I draw on a background of Existential, Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Systemic & Cognitive training.
Some of the issues I work with are:
Sexuality
Depression & Anxiety
Self-esteem, confidence & assertiveness
Relationships
Grief, loss, separation & relationship break-down
Addiction
Domestic Violence
Sexual Abuse
Stress
