About Kyla

Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years' clinical experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and major life changes. Her practice also covers issues linked to attachment, body image and complex loss.

Kyla draws on a mix of talking therapies and practical exercises. Sessions often include breathwork and mindfulness tools she teaches from a background in Buddhist psychology. She also uses cognitive and emotion-focused techniques to help people manage intense feelings and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her work includes support for people who have experienced trauma, panic attacks or nervous breakdowns. Kyla has experience with clients who hear voices and with a range of eating and substance-related issues. She offers clinical supervision to other counsellors as a Level 4 member of the Australian Counsellors Association (ACA).

She combines movement-informed methods with conversation. Kyla has long experience as a trauma-informed yoga teacher and integrates gentle somatic techniques when appropriate. Breathing exercises and short meditative practices are shared as tools to regulate the nervous system.

Kyla is currently completing a master’s degree. She frames sessions to be practical and down-to-earth, helping people take small steps when life feels overwhelming. To start, readers are invited to check the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How Kyla uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching practical steps to move toward what matters, even with uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people understand recurring relationship worries and abandonment fears.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kyla will discuss which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences and adapt the mix as therapy progresses. The choice is collaborative and reviewed as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel, and let people use techniques like breath exercises or short guided practices between meetings. Some approaches work well with short check-ins, while others suit longer conversation-focused sessions, and Kyla will help plan a rhythm that fits everyday life and practical commitments.
