About Kirsten
Kirsten Killenberger is a PACFA counsellor who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma and emotional abuse, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. Kirsten aims to make the first step feel doable and less overwhelming for worried parents and adults alike.
Her approach is warm and practical. She encourages open conversation so thoughts and feelings can be said without judgement. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that make daily life easier rather than quick fixes or jargon-filled therapy talk.
Background and approach
With three years of professional experience in Australia, Kirsten draws on evidence-based methods to guide her work. She pays attention to attachment and how past relationships shape current reactions. She also helps people with body image, confidence, and social anxiety concerns.
Kirsten works with clients on issues such as divorce and separation, forgiveness, midlife transitions and building self-love. She uses straightforward tools to build coping skills and restore a sense of control. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier emotion after each step forward.
Kirsten offers sessions in English, French and German. She supports people who want practical, conversational therapy and gentle encouragement while they make changes.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Kirsten uses well-established therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and rebuild confidence. One approach focuses on practical coping skills and behavioural experiments to reduce anxious reactions. This helps people test what works in everyday situations and slowly regain control over stress responses.A second approach centres on understanding attachment and how past relationships affect present feelings. Conversations and targeted exercises help identify unhelpful patterns and build healthier ways of relating to others. This can ease relationship tension and improve emotional safety for clients.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. Kirsten will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and try methods that fit your life. The plan can change as you learn which tools help most and which formats suit your routine.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be quicker check-ins, live chat suits shorter exchanges and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy days.
