About Kyla
Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. She draws on long experience with trauma, panic and nervous breakdowns to offer calm, practical support. Kyla works with adults who are coping with major life changes and mental health challenges.
Kyla's background includes Buddhist psychology and meditation practices. She teaches breathing exercises and uses them to help people who feel overwhelmed or very anxious.
Background and approach
She also has experience supporting people who hear voices and those with complex responses to trauma. Her style is down-to-earth and paced to the client's needs. Sessions often combine talking with practical tools such as breath work, grounding techniques and paced reflection.
The aim is to build skills that can be used between sessions. Kyla draws from several clinical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She adapts methods to the situation rather than following one fixed model.
She is completing a master's degree and is a Level 4 member of the Australian Counsellors Association, which enables her to provide clinical supervision to other counsellors. Kyla offers sessions online by video, phone, chat or messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that build a meaningful life despite anxiety or stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers concrete strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage panic or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with worries about connection, abandonment and relationship-related anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kyla will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as things change.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Chat or messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or health needs.
