About me

My name is Dorothy Sun. I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Certified Hypnotherapist (C.HYP) and Rapid Transformational Therapist® (RTT)®.  

I am passionate about helping people to change their lives by reclaiming their power and supporting them to realise their potential, for personal and professional development, for health and well-being, and for self-awareness and understanding. This is achieved by uncovering the underlying root cause of your current problems by using Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy and RTT®, and applying innovative neuroscientific methods such as NLP and CBT.  Clients are invited to have a free initial Discovery Call before committing to sessions.

When you decide to engage in RTT® Therapy, you will be taken into a relaxed state of hypnosis where the subconscious mind is accessed to find the root cause of your issue; why you have it, where it came from, how you got it. By rewiring the brain’s neural pathways, your limiting beliefs, repressed memories, or trauma are reframed and recoded to change negative beliefs, habits, and critical thoughts for positive ones. Thus, freeing you from painful problems of your past and behaviours that limit you today.

For RTT® sessions, my commitment to you is to provide you with a bespoke service. You will receive a personalised recording, which you are required to listen to as part of your commitment to the success of your therapy for 21 days. Follow-up phone sessions are included in the program to monitor your progress. You can expect fast and effective results, and although change and transformation is not guaranteed, it is available to you.

My practice is based in North London N8. Psychotherapy ongoing sessions last for 50 minutes and RTT® sessions range roughly between 1-2.5 hours. I am available for day and evening sessions  for adult individuals and young people.

I work in a non-judgmental and respectful, collaborative way. To book yourself an appointment or to make an initial enquiry please call, or email me and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Specialist Knowledge

I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your needs and make sense of your issues, enabling you to feel empowered to make better and meaningful choices to improve your life and fulfil your potential.

I have experience working with short-term NHS clients, Prison Offenders,  Sixth Form Colleges, adult student/trainee counsellors, and offer Time Limited Psychotherapy as well as long term/ongoing therapy with private clients. I have worked with young people and children in schools, with adults in bereavement and with general client issues with Mind in North and South London, as well as with issues of homelessness and with EAP clients. My background includes, but is not limited to working with issues relating to loss and bereavement, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, phobia, sexual and domestic abuse, sexuality, self-harm, eating disorders, anger, Special Needs, Autism and learning disabilities, as well as with family and relationship concerns and to name a few.

I regard the therapeutic relationship as the most important aspect of therapy and which provides a reparative emotional experience, with emphasis on creating a safe and trusting environment. To this aim, I work in a non judgmental and respectful, collaborative way; supporting client’s openness, enabling exploration of their concerns (past and present) to find their own solutions, to make changes and to move forward positively in life.

About My Service

Everyone experiences difficulties at some point in their lives and experience times when extra support is needed. Psychotherapy is a “talking” therapy and is unique in helping with resolution, understanding of current and past difficulties, but also in providing the tools for choosing and developing a better life and future.

Psychotherapy helps you to understand yourself, your thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and your contact with others. Sometimes, it is difficult to express your needs and wishes as a result of fear, anxiety, and/or poor self-confidence or because of trauma. When this happens relationships with others often becomes strained, less fulfilling and difficult.

Although the Psychotherapy process can sometimes be uncomfortable or difficult, it can also lead to feelings of personal empowerment, growth and healthier, happier relationships and positive self-esteem and confidence.

Book a free Discovery Call for RTT ® or Psychotherapy to explore your needs further.

Training, qualifications & experience

As an Accredited Humanistic Integrative Counsellor (Adv. Dip & Dip.) and qualified Clinical Supervisor my attention is focused on the person, irrespective of gender, sexuality, age, cultural background and/or religious or political beliefs.
 As a Registered Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Reg. MBACP Accred.) I operate within the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice and attend regular supervision and I am fully insured.

Other areas of counselling I deal with include:

As a Complimentary Medicine Practitioner specialised in the field of Colour Therapy for over 30 years I also offer Colour Counselling Consultations using colour as an adjunct to gain insight into your inner world.  Through a specially devised colour preference technique called the Colour Reflection Reading (CRR)© information reveals your personality type, strengths and weaknesses, current thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and/or colour imbalances. This method has been documented in my book called 'Colour Your Life' (co-authored) by Howard and Dorothy Sun and published by Piatkus Books 1992. Using colour as an adjunct tool to gain personal awareness and development adds a new dimension to self-discovery.

I am also a qualified Family Effectiveness Training (F.E.T.) Instructor helping parents, family members and carers to manage the challenges of parenthood and of raising responsible, independent children.

Whether you’re a parent/carer of a toddler or a teenager, you know that parenting can be a challenging, even an overwhelming experience at times.  Unfortunately, children do not come with an instruction manual and being a parent doesn’t always mean that you automatically or instinctively know what to do.

F.E.T. Counselling Consultations offers proven communication skills that work.  When these skills are used, parents/carers are amazed with the dramatic improvement both in their families and in all their relationships.

I practice in North London N8.  Sessions last for 50 minutes.  I am available for day and evening sessions and provide Time Limited therapy and open-ended counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, FET couples, families, and for young people and adults.

To book yourself an appointment please call, text or email me and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
