ONLINE PSYCHOLOGY • AUSTRALIA-WIDE

Therapy for the trauma, abuse recovery, and longstanding emotional and relationship difficulties - for individuals & Couples

A considered, relational approach — online, Australia-wide

KYLIE WALLS

Registered Psychologist • Schema Therapy • Faith-sensitive Support

Therapy that supports you to make sense of your past, navigate the present, and step toward a future shaped by your own values.

A relational, trauma-informed approach — faith-sensitive, and attentive to your history and context. For people carrying the effects of relational, spiritual, or abusive experiences that have continued to shape them over time. The work is slower than strategy-based therapy and oriented toward understanding long-standing patterns.

Counselling for Individuals and Couples

FOR INDIVIDUALS

For adults living with longstanding emotional patterns, the effects of trauma, or the experience of the same patterns showing up again. The work involves gently looking at the responses that formed early in life and how they may still shape the present.

Trauma-informed counselling for Individuals

THERAPY OPTIONS

FOR COUPLES

For couples caught in cycles of conflict, withdrawal, or disconnection. We work with the patterns each partner brings, and the dance the two of you keep finding yourselves inside.

AREAS OF SUPPORT

Ways that I can support you


01

Anxiety, depression, OCD (including scrupulosity and moral OCD), and emotional distress.


02

Processing childhood experiences, family violence, sexual, spiritual, and medical trauma.



03

Support for relational conflict, disconnection, infidelity, and repeated patterns of hurt and withdrawal.


04

Processing the impact on trust, attachment, and sense of self.


05

Recovery from confusing, high-control, or harmful dynamics.



06

Anxiety, depression, OCD (including scrupulosity), and emotional distress.


Most people come in with several things going on, and those things are usually connected. The work is about understanding the connections, not treating each issue on its own.




I work with Adults and Couples who are experiencing:

  • Longstanding emotional, behavioural or relational patterns that interfere with well-being or relationships

  • Relationship and communication difficulties (individuals and couples)

  • Mental health challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, and OCD (including scrupulosity and moral OCD)

  • Recovery from trauma, including adverse childhood experiences, family and domestic violence, sexual abuse, workplace bullying, spiritual abuse, and medical trauma.

  • Repetitive patterns such as people-pleasing, emotional withdrawal, avoidance, or emotional reactivity

  • Burnout and emotional exhaustion, including work-, caregiving-, or ministry-related burnout

  • Difficulties with emotional regulation, self-esteem, or sense of identity

About me
  • I’m Kylie Walls, a registered psychologist who utilises evidence-based approaches, particularly Schema Therapy, to help people understand and shift longstanding emotional and relational patterns

  • I work with both individuals and couples

  • I support people whose difficulties persist despite insight or previous therapy

  • My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and values-guided

  • I’m interested in how earlier relational or systemic experiences shape present-day difficulties, and in working with these experiences in ways that support greater choice and flexibility.

  • I aim to create a safe, thoughtful therapeutic space that supports deeper therapeutic work.

  • I welcome clients from all backgrounds

  • I’m able to offer a faith-sensitive approach where this is relevant and desired

“Over time, I’ve seen how early experiences, unmet emotional needs, relational strain, experiences of harm or control, and pressures linked to work, caregiving, identity, or belief can shape enduring patterns in how people see themselves and relate to others. I approach each person’s story with respect, thoughtfulness, and care, offering ethical, trauma-informed, and evidence-based schema therapy.”
