About Me
Hi, I’m Dr. Rebecca O’Sullivan, a counselling psychologist passionate about helping people heal, grow, and live fulfilling lives. My mission is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported.
Who I Work With
With over a decade of clinical experience, I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and groups experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including: anxiety disorders, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and trauma recovery. Through this time I have developed key interests in:
-
Acute PTSD symptoms:
flashbacks
nightmares
intrusive thoughts
Long term trauma symptoms:
relationship disruptions
low self-esteem
loss of identity
Dissociation and disembodiment
-
setting boundaries
having authentic and meaningful communication
establishing feelings of trust and safety with yourself and others
accountability
-
Emotion Blindness is a phenomena where individuals find it difficult to identify or describe their emotions. This challenge can create a barrier to accessing therapy, because therapy often relies on speaking about emotions. Through my academic research, I have developed a way of working with emotion blind individuals that helps to bridge this gap. My aim is to make the mode of therapy suit you, and help emotions feel like less of a foreign language.
