Sheila O'Sullivan

I am an experienced integrative psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I have been in practice for 28 years and I have worked in a variety of settings. Integrative psychotherapy means that I have been trained in a range of different therapeutic models so I can adapt to the needs of clients. My training included body psychotherapy so I can help clients to make links between their mind and body. I have also been trained to work with trauma and mindfulness based CBT. I am experienced in working with a range of difficulties such as anxiety, panic attacks, bereavement, separation and loss and depression. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who do not have children whatever the reason might be. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space in a quiet and peaceful garden room. I continue with my professional development and I am committed to life long learning and self development.
