About Kylie

Kylie Stark is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, trauma and life changes. She supports those coping with parenting pressures, career transitions and intimacy concerns, and she also addresses codependency and related patterns.

Kylie uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She listens to what matters to the person in front of her and adjusts how they talk together as the work proceeds. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer patterns of thinking and relating, not on jargon or labels.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also works in a client-centred way, putting the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. Cognitive behavioural tools are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours.

Kylie often supports people dealing with family problems, communication difficulties, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness. She helps people who are recovering from abuse or who are managing grief and separation.

If someone is juggling caring responsibilities, career stress or the fallout from a difficult relationship, Kylie aims to map out clear, manageable steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site’s process to arrange a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. Online sessions using this approach often focus on noticing how people relate now and practising different responses to reduce repeated hurts. Client-centred work puts the person’s own experience at the centre of the session. The therapist listens and reflects what is being said, helping the individual make sense of feelings and decide what they want to try next. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, people-pleasing or situations where setting boundaries is difficult. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kylie will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift. Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives - they can be easier to attend around work or caring duties, avoid travel time and make shorter check-ins possible when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care across a week or month.
