About Kyla
Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her career supporting people after trauma, addiction and major life changes. Kyla brings a calm and steady presence to sessions and aims to make conversations feel practical and manageable.
She has worked with grief, panic and anxiety, eating and substance-related disorders, and people who hear voices. Kyla is studying a Masters degree and holds Level 4 membership with the Australian Counsellors Association, which also enables her to provide clinical supervision to other counsellors.
Kyla draws on Buddhist psychology and meditation practices alongside therapeutic techniques. She is a Level 2 trauma-informed yoga teacher and has taught breathing methods for people with a dysregulated nervous system for 18 years. These skills inform short exercises that may be used in sessions.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas with Emotionally-Focused work. Sessions often include practical tools, gentle movement or breathing, and time to reflect on where clients are stuck. Kyla aims for clear, straightforward strategies people can use between appointments.
People come to Kyla for help with stress, codependency, relationship patterns, chronic health issues and major life transitions. She works to create a respectful space where clients can look at painful experiences and build new coping routines. If you want to know how therapy might fit into your life, Kyla encourages starting with a short matching questionnaire and an initial booking.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and practical work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and focus on small values-based actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress when the goal is to change how people respond to difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches clear strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for panic, anxiety, low mood and some addiction-related behaviours.
Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating to themselves and others. This can be helpful when codependency or repeated relationship difficulties are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and collaborate on a plan. You can expect to try different techniques and then keep what works for you.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work during busy periods, and breathing or mindfulness exercises can be guided over video or phone depending on the agreed format.
