About Kyla
Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and major life changes. She also supports concerns such as attachment issues, body image, caring stress, chronic illness and separation.
Kyla trained in counselling and is completing a Masters degree. She holds Level 4 membership with the Australian Counsellors Association, which also allows her to offer clinical supervision to other counsellors. Her background includes Buddhist psychology and meditation practices, and she has a long history teaching trauma-informed yoga.
In sessions she uses clear, practical tools drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She offers breathing exercises based on pranayama for people with a dysregulated nervous system. Kyla also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationships or early experiences shape current difficulties.
People who have struggled with trauma, panic, hearing voices or addictions have worked with her before. She describes practical steps for managing panic and routines for coping with depression and grief. Kyla combines talking therapy with breath work and grounded somatic practices when that fits the person’s needs.
She is comfortable offering clinical supervision and supports other counsellors in their development. For anyone wondering what comes next after a big life change, Kyla focuses on small, workable steps and on helping clients notice what matters most now.
How Kyla uses key approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-guided actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with panic, depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people notice and change ways of relating that cause distress.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Kyla will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will choose techniques that fit. That might mean focusing on breath work and grounding during some sessions and CBT skill practice in others.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let the therapist guide breathing exercises and somatic practices during the session. Appropriately qualified counsellors aim to match the method and session length to what will best support everyday life and practical goals.
