Kevin O’Sullivan

(He/Him)

I completed my training as a clinical psychologist in England in 1991 and come to Australia in 1994 to set up the NSW violent offender program. Since then I have worked with offenders, victims of violence, refugees and the general public. Before leaving Sydney for Port Macquarie in 2017 I worked for five years in the UNSW forensic psychology training clinic. As a practitioner, I work in the Narrative tradition. My research interests are in desistance from crime, judicial traumatic stress, and group therapy. I’m now an Adjunct Associate Professor, in the School of Law at the University of Western Australia and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the UNSW School of Psychology.
