Kyla Sorenne, ACA

Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and depression. Kyla also helps those coping with major life changes and ageing-related concerns. Her background blends talk therapy with breathing and meditative practices. Kyla draws on a range of practical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused work. She uses attachment-based ideas to help people name relationship patterns and change them. Sessions often include simple breathing exercises learned from her experience with pranayama and trauma-informed yoga. Her experience covers trauma, panic, nervous breakdown and addictive behaviours, including eating and food-related issues. She is experienced supporting people who hear voices and those navigating chronic illness or cancer-related stress. Kyla is completing a Masters degree and holds Level 4 membership with the Australian Counsellors Association, which includes the ability to provide clinical supervision to other counsellors. In sessions Kyla aims for clear, practical steps alongside space to process strong emotions. She offers meditation coaching and somatic techniques when they suit a person’s needs. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as things change. People looking for a therapist who combines evidence-based talking therapy with body-based practices may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic and worry. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional patterns in relationships and helps people identify and shift those patterns to feel more secure. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kyla will discuss different methods and decide together which fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process guides whether breathing exercises, attachment-based ideas or structured CBT tasks are included. Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using on-the-spot tools such as breathing practices or guided meditations during sessions, and helps people maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
