About Me
Kirsten O'Sullivan, BPsych
Couples Counsellor, Sydney
I’m Kirsten O’Sullivan, a qualified couples counsellor in Sydney, supporting individuals and couples to navigate relationship challenges with clarity, compassion, and care. I specialise in Relationship Counselling, integrating Emotion-Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy, CBT for Couples, and Systemic Family Therapy to support clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach, creating a warm and inclusive space where you can safely explore challenges, strengthen communication, and build emotional resilience.
My Approach
As a couples counsellor in Sydney, I understand that relationship difficulties are often shaped by communication patterns, past experiences, and emotional needs that may go unspoken.
Tailored Sessions
I tailor each session to your unique relationship, helping you to:
- Rebuild trust and repair emotional disconnection
- Navigate conflict with greater understanding
- Improve communication and emotional awareness
- Develop healthier ways of relating
My approach is gentle and grounded, creating space for honest conversations and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
Areas of Support
Alongside couples counselling, I also support individuals and families experiencing:
- Anxiety and depression
- Addiction and recovery
- Separation and relationship breakdown
- Family conflict and life transitions
- Sexual and intimacy concerns
These challenges often impact how we relate to ourselves and others, and I work holistically to support both individual wellbeing and relationship health.
If this sounds like the support you need right now, please get in touch.
My Experience
I have supported individuals, couples, and families across a range of settings, including my work with Relationships Australia and Southern Highlands Addiction Retreat. This experience has shaped my compassionate, non-judgemental approach, helping clients navigate complex emotional, relational, and recovery challenges with practical tools and ongoing support.
