About Alana
Alana Sully is an ACA counsellor with six years of practical experience supporting people through major life shifts. She works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, and helps clients deal with grief and changes that feel overwhelming. Alana uses a straightforward, respectful style.
Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals. She focuses on creating a calm space where someone can talk through what matters most to them and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Existential therapy alongside tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred work. That mix helps people connect with values, learn practical skills and make choices that fit their life. Alana also uses ideas from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when skills for emotional regulation are useful.
She has experience supporting carers, people affected by disaster recovery, and those facing end-of-life or cancer-related concerns. Alana also works with first responder issues, hoarding, money stress and relationship communication problems. Her practice includes coaching-style conversations when clients want clearer direction for work or life decisions.
Sessions are available in English and are offered through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on therapist availability.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people look at values, meaning and life choices. It supports those feeling stuck by encouraging honest reflection about priorities and purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with personal values; it is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a non-judgemental space so people can explore their concerns and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and how to blend them over time in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer, in-depth conversations while phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, building momentum between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around daily life and location.
