About Kylie
Kylie Cullen is a PACFA counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Kylie’s tone is straightforward and focused on practical steps rather than labels.
Kylie helps people untangle patterns that keep repeating in relationships. She talks through behaviours like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and losing oneself around another person. Sessions focus on clearer communication, stronger boundaries, and understanding attachment and codependency patterns.
Her way of working is direct and conversational. Kylie encourages clients to name what feels wrong and to test small changes between sessions. She uses evidence-based techniques to reduce overwhelming feelings and to improve everyday coping.
Kylie pays attention to the effects of past hurt on present choices. She helps people notice how shame, guilt or fear of abandonment shape behaviour. Together they look at practical steps to reduce reactivity and build steadier relationships.
Clients can expect a calm, structured process that moves at a steady pace. Kylie supports people who want to feel more like themselves again, including those wrestling with workplace strain, loneliness, or questions about life purpose. She works in English and does not take international clients.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Kylie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotion regulation and relationship patterns. One approach helps people notice and name strong emotions, then practise small coping steps to reduce overwhelm and reactivity. This is useful for anxiety, panic and intense grief responses. Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns to understand why someone keeps repeating the same choices in relationships. It helps people identify avoidant or people-pleasing behaviour and try different responses. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kylie treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She explains options, tries techniques in session, and adjusts based on what the client finds helpful. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Kylie’s listing does not specify formats here, so check the options offered when you sign up. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a busy day. It also means practising communication and boundary skills in real life between sessions, then reviewing what changed with the therapist.Areas of focus
