About Kylie:

I began my career as a Social Worker and Family Therapist after working as visual artist, combining my love of art and health. I worked in many roles throughout my career as a counsellor, for example, in palliative care, in the neo natal intensive care unit, in sexual assault and youth work. I have completed a Masters in Gestalt Psychotherapy – my thesis focusing on the relationship between shame and trauma. Further, my work is influenced by my training in Family Constellations, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

My journey has revealed a passion for understanding what it is to be an embodied and interdependent being and I have grown a deep reverence for human complexity and vulnerability. I am committed to exploring connection within ourselves, with others, with the environment, and increasing our sense of aliveness and choice. I have developed trust in the human capacity for awareness, transformation, and self-compassion through engagement in personal and professional therapeutic processes. 

My work is relational, somatic, and informed by neuroscience. I am interested in healing unworkable patterns, intergenerational legacies, and the impact of trauma. Committed to a trauma informed and empowering approach, my work is responsive, experiential and collaborative, providing a safe and confidential space to be heard and understood.

Individuals
I am passionate about inviting you into a space of awareness and connection with yourself. I do this by supporting you to become curious about relational patterns and areas in your life where you perceive disconnection. My work encourages you to hold your experience with care and compassion, fostering self-responsibility. 

Couples
Grounded in neuroscience and attachment theory, my work focuses on the importance of building safe, secure relationships. I support couples and relationship partnerships of all kinds in a non-judgmental space to understand and reshape unhelpful patterns, fostering more connected, trusting, and fulfilling relationships.

Families
I offer a familycentered, strengthsbased approach that empowers families and builds bonds. Working with children, young people and their families/carers, I provide a safe space where everyone can be heard and supported, with a focus on building trust, open communication, respect and mutual understanding.

Adolescence
My practice has included working with young people in family therapy, individual settings, and out-of-home care. I provide a safe, trauma-informed space where young people feel seen, heard, and supported to make sense of their experiences, understand themselves and develop skills that may increase choice.

I am accredited and bound by the ethics and professionalism of the Australian Association of Social Workers and am qualified as a Clinical Supervisor.

I offer Medicare rebates through Better Access for Mental Health.

I look forward to connecting with you. Please contact me for further information or use the link to my website. I offer both telehealth and in person sessions.
