About Kyla
Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through trauma, addiction and major life changes. She brings a calm, grounded presence and practical tools to sessions. Her work is shaped by a background in Buddhist psychology and breath-based practices.
Clients meet a therapist who uses talking alongside body-based techniques and breathing exercises. Sessions often include simple grounding, guided breathing, and movement suggestions as needed.
Background and approach
Kyla aims to help clients feel steadier in their bodies while they talk through fears, grief and addiction patterns. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to handle anxiety, stress and low mood. She blends these with somatic practices and meditation coaching to support nervous system regulation.
This combination can suit people who want both practical strategies and attention to how feelings show up in the body. Kyla has worked with people experiencing panic, PTSD, grief, eating and substance-related concerns, and those who hear voices.
She is completing a Masters degree and holds Level 4 membership with the Australian Counsellors Association, which also allows her to offer clinical supervision to other counsellors. Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, with flexible formats such as video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Somatic-influenced work focuses on how feelings show up in the body. In practice this can mean simple grounding, mindful breathing and gentle movement suggestions to help with panic, anxiety and nervous system dysregulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and to take steps toward values-based living; it is often used for stress, anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to build safer, more reliable ways of relating to oneself and others, which can help with grief, abandonment wounds and attachment issues.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kyla will discuss different options and try methods that fit the client’s needs and comfort. Together they will adapt techniques over time, combining talking, breath work and practical exercises based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or other demands arise. Therapists and appropriately qualified or registered professionals can use these channels to deliver the same talking and somatic techniques that are used in face-to-face work, while offering greater flexibility for scheduling and follow-up.
