About Kyla
Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, eating and food-related issues, chronic illness, and caregiving strain.
Kyla describes a background that blends clinical counselling with Buddhist psychology and meditation practice. She is a Level 4 member of the Australian Counsellors Association (ACA) and is completing a master's degree. Her ACA Level 4 membership means she is able to provide clinical supervision to other counsellors.
Sessions are practical and skills-focused. Kyla offers breathing exercises and mindfulness methods drawn from her long meditation practice and trauma-informed yoga teaching. She also works with structured approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behaviour.
She has experience supporting people who have lived with trauma, panic and anxiety, hearing voices, nervous breakdowns and addictive behaviours. Kyla uses a range of methods including attachment-based work, emotionally-focused approaches and client-centred strategies to address emotional and relational concerns.
People who prefer a mix of talking and somatic techniques may find her approach useful. She combines practical tools, breathing work and structured therapy methods to help people manage symptoms and make everyday changes.
How Kyla uses structured approaches in online work
CBT is a practical method that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. It focuses on short, actionable tasks and behaviour experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines skills for accepting difficult feelings with clear goals and actions, useful for chronic stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections affect present emotions, which can help with attachment issues and relationship distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kyla will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then use that information to choose or combine methods. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life, such as scheduling a shorter check-in during a work break or joining from a quieter space without travel. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Appropriately qualified counsellors can make CBT, ACT and attachment work effective through conversation, skills practice and guided breathing or mindfulness exercises.
