Kyla Sorenne , ACA

Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of clinical practice. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. Kyla also helps those coping with depression and big life changes. Her background includes trauma work and experience with people who hear voices.

Kyla combines talking therapy with breathing and meditation tools she has practised for many years. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment approaches to help people notice what matters and respond differently. Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs.

She brings a long personal practice of Buddhist psychology and meditation to sessions. That experience informs calming strategies and breathing exercises Kyla teaches for managing intense emotion and a dysregulated nervous system. She is also a trauma-informed yoga teacher and uses body-based techniques alongside talking work.

Kyla is a Level 4 member of the Australian Counsellors Association, which also enables her to provide clinical supervision to other counsellors. She is completing a master's degree while continuing to work with people affected by trauma, addiction, panic and eating concerns.

Her style is warm and steady. Kyla aims to create space for people to tell their story. She helps clients build small, manageable skills for coping, and works collaboratively on goals that matter to them.

How Kyla's approaches work online

Kyla commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in session. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-driven action rather than struggling to control every feeling. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns now and helps people develop different ways of relating and feeling safer in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kyla will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She reviews progress and adapts methods so therapy fits the person's changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or care routines and to keep continuity when life is busy.
