Kyla Sorenne, ACA

Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of experience working with people facing grief, anxiety, addiction and major life changes. She describes a long history supporting those affected by trauma, panic, nervous breakdown and food-related issues. Kyla also has experience with people who hear voices and with complex loss situations.

Her background includes Buddhist psychology and meditation practice, which she draws on alongside breathwork and movement. She has practised trauma-informed yoga for many years and offers breathing exercises to help settle the nervous system. Kyla is completing a Masters degree and holds Level 4 membership of the Australian Counsellors Association, which includes clinical supervision experience.

In sessions she mixes practical skills with talking therapy. That can mean learning coping strategies for panic or using breathing and grounding to manage intense moments. She also uses cognitive approaches to address patterns of thinking linked to anxiety or low mood.

Kyla works with approaches that focus on emotional connection and personal values. She uses acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify what matters to a person, and attachment-informed ways of looking at relationship patterns. Clients may be offered emotion-focused work when relationship wounds and loss are central.

People who keep putting others first, struggle with abandonment fears, or find themselves drawn back into harmful patterns often look to Kyla for help making different choices. She helps people name patterns, practise new responses, and build small skills for everyday life.
