About Kyla
Kyla Sorenne is an experienced ACA counsellor with 15 years in the field. She supports people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, grief and depression. Kyla uses straightforward techniques and practical tools so people can feel steadier day to day.
Kyla brings training in both psychological methods and contemplative practices. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused work. This mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, concrete changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes Buddhist psychology and meditation practice. She also teaches breathing exercises and trauma-informed yoga, which some clients find useful for calming a busy nervous system. Kyla adapts an approach to what a person needs rather than following one method only.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Kyla listens for what matters most, then offers simple steps to practise between meetings. She aims to make sessions useful for people juggling busy lives and strong emotions.
Kyla is a Level 4 member of the Australian Counsellors Association which allows her to provide clinical supervision to other counsellors. She is completing a Masters degree and continues to build skills to better help clients. Her work suits people who want clear, practical tools and time to talk through painful experiences.
Kyla is based in Australia and runs online sessions in English.
How Kyla’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and ongoing mood problems by teaching practical exercises to stay present and act with purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms. It suits people wanting clear steps and short homework tasks to try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with grief, loss and intimacy concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Kyla discusses options with each person and tailors sessions to their goals and preferences. The first few meetings are used to agree what to try and how to measure progress, so people feel involved in choosing their path.
Online therapy with Kyla is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter reflections and support between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
