Kyla Sorenne, ACA

Kyla Sorenne is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and life changes. She also supports those facing attachment and family of origin concerns, and people affected by adoption, abandonment and caregiver stress.

Kyla brings practical skills into sessions. She uses breathing exercises and meditation practices drawn from Buddhist psychology to help calm a dysregulated nervous system. She has long experience with trauma-related difficulties and with people who hear voices, and she offers approaches suited to those presentations.

Her work combines talking therapies with body-based methods. Clients learn skills from cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment approaches to manage thoughts and difficult feelings. She also draws on emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns that began in childhood.

Kyla describes hands-on techniques such as trauma-informed breathing and movement when they are helpful. She has taught trauma-aware yoga for many years and integrates those practical exercises alongside more conversation-based work. Sessions may include guided breathing or simple somatic practices as part of the plan.

She holds membership with the Australian Counsellors Association, listed as ACA. Kyla is completing a Masters degree and offers clinical supervision to other counsellors as part of that professional activity. People who want to address repeating family patterns and current stressors often find her approach straightforward and skills-focused.
