Kyla Holley, ACA

Kyla Holley is a registered level 4 counsellor with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate difficult moments and create meaningful change in their lives. She specialises in supporting people with eating disorders, body image concerns and the often complex relationship with food, weight and self-worth, and regularly works with issues that intersect with trauma, anxiety, depression and stress.

Her style is compassionate, practical and grounded in evidence-based techniques. Kyla works from a non-judgemental and collaborative stance, inviting clients to explore their strengths and to co-create strategies that promote resilience, healing and personal growth. The counselling space she offers emphasises the client’s voice and goals as central to the therapeutic process.

Kyla holds the ACA credential, which is listed in the directory as her professional qualification. She offers warm, honest and professional support to people who are facing current struggles, seeking to heal past wounds or looking for clarity and direction. When a client is ready to take the next step, Kyla is available to walk alongside them and provide steady guidance and practical tools.

Evidence-informed approaches for online support and recovery

Kyla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to eating and body image concerns, and to the effects of trauma. A trauma-informed approach recognises how past experiences can shape present reactions and relationships, and focuses on safety, stabilisation and gradual healing to support people moving forward.

Kyla also applies structured, evidence-informed strategies for eating and food-related difficulties that help clients explore patterns around food, body and self-worth while developing practical coping skills and healthier habits over time.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Kyla takes a collaborative stance. She will discuss options, listen to a client’s needs and preferences, and adapt techniques so they fit the person’s goals and life circumstances, working alongside appropriately qualified or registered professionals when needed.

Online therapy with Kyla is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from home, during busy weeks or when travel is difficult, while still enabling regular, focused sessions with a therapist.
