Dr Beau Mostyn Sullivan

I’m a clinical psychologist in Canberra. I work with adults aged 18+. I have a particular interest in working with mental health challenges related to complex developmental trauma, including PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and chronic mood and anxiety disorders. I’m also passionate about providing affirming care to neurodivergent and gender diverse clients. I develop tailored treatment plans for my clients to help them process and experience emotions safely and engage in effective actions that take them towards the life they want.

My therapeutic style is genuine, caring, validating, and honest. I mostly practice Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Schema Therapy. I’m also trained in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and incorporate elements of it into my practice. Schema Therapy helps people link current negative life patterns to childhood experiences, and then process emotions related to those experiences to promote enduring healing. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy supports people to engage more skilfully with their emotions and the world around them.

If you struggle with intense and painful emotions, find it difficult to experience emotions at all, and/or are having difficulties in your relationships, I would love to help you. Please reach out.

Outside the therapy room, I’m probably hanging with my dogs Bruce and Morty, lifting weights in the gym, doing some bouldering, or spending time with friends.
