About Kylie

Kylie Stark is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people presenting stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, motivation issues and related areas such as grief and trauma and abuse.

She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings, with time for talking through immediate worries and planning what to do next. Kylie uses clear feedback and helps clients try small changes between meetings.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix is used to look at how relationships affect mood, how thoughts influence feelings, and how to build more helpful patterns day to day. She uses these methods to address things like intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career concerns and coping with life changes.

Kylie also works with people managing ADHD, issues with body image, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or guilt and shame. She is experienced supporting people through separation, caregiver stress, and eating and food-related concerns.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the client. People are invited to set goals and review progress as therapy continues. To explore working together, follow the site prompts to see online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships and early experiences shape the way people connect with others. It can help when intimacy issues, abandonment fears or attachment problems affect current relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel heard while they decide what changes they want and how to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical exercises and small steps to test different ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the mix of approaches based on the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals and methods are revisited as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that taking regular, scheduled sessions helps them practise changes between meetings and keeps momentum going.
