'Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion'

Hi, I'm Kaila, I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based on Bundjalung country in the Northern Rivers. I see clients in-person at my practice in Byron Industrial Estate, online over Zoom or Facetime, and I also offer 'walk and talk' sessions in the Northern Rivers.

I support individuals dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, and other personal struggles.

In our work together, I help clients learn how to regulate their nervous systems, challenge limiting self beliefs, shift towards more empowering perspectives, reconnect with core values and future aspirations, and cultivate healthier relationships with their thoughts and emotions.

Counselling is not a one size fits all - each person is unique, with different life experiences, personalities, and challenges. What works for one individual may not be effective for another. In my experience, an integrative approach - in which different but complimentary theories are blended - is the most effective way to achieve the goals you want from counselling.

I welcome all, and have particular experience in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients (as a queer therapist) as well as sex workers and the poly/ENM community.
