Kyla is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of experience supporting people through difficult periods. She works in a calm, non-judgemental manner and treats each person as an individual.
How Kyla works
Sessions concentrate on practical strategies as well as understanding how past experiences affect current behaviour. Her style is collaborative. Kyla talks things through with clients, sets clear goals and helps build small skills that can be used between sessions.
She balances emotional care with concrete steps that help people feel more in control. Trauma, anxiety and depression often coexist with eating and body image concerns, so Kyla looks at the whole picture when planning support. She draws on evidence-based approaches to guide the work while adapting techniques to each person’s needs.
People come to Kyla when they want to heal old wounds, manage difficult symptoms, or find clearer direction in life. She aims to create a space where clients can be honest, try things out, and notice steady change over time.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Many people with eating, body image and trauma-related concerns benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Kyla uses established therapeutic methods that help people understand patterns around food, manage distressing memories and build healthier beliefs about themselves. These approaches typically involve gradual changes, skill practice and structured conversations to reduce symptoms and increase resilience.Therapies that focus on thinking and behaviour teach skills for managing distressing thoughts and unhelpful habits. Other trauma-focused strategies help people process difficult memories and develop safer ways of coping with intense emotions. Kyla works with clients to choose approaches that match their needs and comfort levels rather than using a single fixed method.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kyla will talk through options, try things out and adjust based on what helps most. The shared aim is to set realistic goals and build tools people can use outside sessions.
Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when being on camera is hard, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or steady support between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people access appropriately qualified counsellors from different locations.
