About Kylie

Kylie Stark is a counsellor with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and relationship difficulties. She aims to offer a respectful, sensitive and compassionate space for conversations about change.

Her practice is person-centred and practical. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a fixed script. Kylie uses talking, reflection and goal-focused steps to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with day-to-day pressures.

She often helps people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and with problems around intimacy and communication. Parenting strain, career transitions and managing life changes are also common areas she supports. Eating and food-related issues are listed among her focuses and can be discussed in sessions.

Kylie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Her client-centred stance keeps the client’s agenda central throughout the process.

People who prefer a calm, person-focused approach tend to find her style a good fit. She encourages small, achievable steps and works alongside clients as they try out new ways of coping. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a session.

How her approaches guide online counselling

Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps when trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems are the issue. Client‑centred therapy prioritises the person’s own goals and pace, giving space for people to steer the conversation and explore what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes to mood and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what you want to change, discuss different options, and together you’ll try approaches that match your goals and preferences. That means methods may be combined or adapted over time as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily around work and family demands, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. Online sessions can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will discuss practical arrangements and help choose an approach that suits everyday life.
