About Kirsten
PACFA counsellor in Australia with 3 years' experience, Kirsten Killenberger supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and emotional abuse, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. She also focuses on attachment issues, body image, divorce and separation, forgiveness, midlife concerns, self-love, social anxiety and women's issues. Kirsten speaks English, French and German and works from a practical perspective.
Kirsten keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She helps people name what feels difficult and talks through manageable steps. Early appointments focus on immediate concerns and on simple strategies to reduce distress.
She aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Conversations tend to be direct and down-to-earth, not full of jargon. The focus is on what a person can try between sessions and what changes feel realistic.
Kirsten draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to make therapy practical. She uses approaches that address anxiety, attachment and trauma-related concerns, and applies them to parenting and relationship problems. Work on self-esteem and body image includes concrete exercises and reflection.
People who come to Kirsten often want clear steps and honest feedback. Her style suits those who prefer a pragmatic, conversational approach. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Two common, evidence-based approaches she uses are described here. One approach focuses on anxiety management through practical skills such as breathing techniques, graded exposure to feared situations and step-by-step plans to reduce avoidance. It helps with general anxiety, social anxiety and phobias. Another approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns by identifying recurring interaction styles and practising different responses; this can help with relationship strain and building more secure connections.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to check what helps and to adapt techniques as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and the choice to use audio-only if video is difficult. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care while exploring what works for them.
