About Kylie
Kylie Docksey offers calm, respectful support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps that help clients feel steadier day to day. Kylie presents as warm and non-judgemental, and she adapts conversations to each person's needs.
Kylie is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience. She has helped people manage trauma and abuse, mood difficulties and panic, and she supports those coping with life changes and relationship strain.
How Kylie works
Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills and build confidence rather than only talking about problems. Her approach pulls from acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour ideas and client-centred ways of working. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when they match a person's goals.
Kylie helps people try new ways of handling painful feelings and stay connected to what matters to them. Kylie also pays attention to practical pressures such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and ageing concerns. She will listen for what is getting in the way and help identify small, manageable steps forward.
The focus is on clear, achievable goals and steady progress. Taking the first step can feel daunting. Kylie supports people through that early stage and works collaboratively to shape a plan that fits their life and priorities.

How Kylie’s approaches translate to online counselling
Kylie draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour ideas to guide online sessions. ACT helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. DBT-influenced techniques focus on practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kylie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily routine. She adapts exercises and skills to suit what a client wants to achieve and checks in regularly to change direction if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video suits fuller conversations and face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text works well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments.
