About Kyla
Kyla Sorenne is an experienced counsellor with 15 years supporting people through trauma, grief, anxiety and addiction. She holds ACA membership with Level 4 standing in the Australian Counsellors Association and is currently completing a Masters degree. Kyla blends talk-based therapy with practical breathwork and meditation skills she has taught for many years.
Kyla draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Her background in Buddhist psychology informs gentle mindfulness and breathing practices she offers in sessions. People meet Kyla for help with panic, nervous breakdown, grief and loss, or when addictions and eating issues have become overwhelming.
She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, major life changes and body image concerns. Kyla has experience working with people who hear voices and with complex presentations that include co-morbidity. Sessions blend listening, practical exercises and skill-building.
Kyla uses guided breathing, grounding work and mindfulness alongside cognitive strategies to reduce distress. She prioritises clear, calm pacing so people can learn skills without feeling overwhelmed. Kyla offers online sessions in video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging formats.
She also provides clinical supervision for other counsellors as part of her Level 4 ACA role. Sessions are scheduled through the site matching and booking process.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps people move forward despite anxiety or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, panic and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape emotional responses and current relationship struggles, which can help with attachment issues and relationship-related distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the presenting issues, and together they will try methods that feel useful. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches to suit what works for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of breathing or grounding exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and keep continuity when schedules change.
