About Kyla

ACA counsellor, 15 years' experience. Kyla Holley focuses on eating and food-related issues, body image, self-esteem, trauma and coping with major life changes. She works directly with people who are struggling with eating disorders, midlife shifts, sexual assault and abuse, or low self-worth, offering straightforward support and practical strategies.

Kyla uses evidence-based techniques and a collaborative style. She listens to each person's goals and works alongside them to try different approaches. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps that can be practised between meetings.

She commonly addresses anxiety, depression and stress that co-occur with eating and trauma-related concerns. Kyla talks through patterns around food and body image and helps people develop clearer, manageable routines. Her work balances emotional processing with concrete skills for daily life.

Kyla frames progress as small, observable changes rather than big leaps. She encourages realistic goals and checks in on how strategies are working. Clients can expect clear explanations of suggested techniques and simple tasks to try between sessions.

Her practice suits people wanting practical help with eating and self-image issues, or those dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault and other trauma. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session so she can match approach to need.

How her approaches are used in online work

ACA counsellors often draw on evidence-based techniques to address eating, trauma and related concerns. One common approach focuses on practical skills for managing eating and body image problems - it breaks down daily patterns and teaches small, repeatable steps to change behaviour. Another approach emphasises processing trauma and its effects on mood and self-worth through paced discussion and gradual exposure to difficult memories or triggers.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor the plan in collaboration with the client, matching tools to goals and preferences. This collaborative review helps identify whether more skills-based work or trauma processing is needed at any stage.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from a familiar place. They also allow shorter or more frequent appointments when a brief check-in is helpful, and telephone options can reduce bandwidth needs or the requirement to be on camera.
