Kylie's
Approach & Qualifications
Kylie prides herself on her creative, empathic, person-centred way of working. She approaches therapy authentically and has an intense interest in conceptualising human experiences. Kylie believes that creating an environment in which clients can feel safe to express themselves is the best way to gather information. She loves context and flexibly applies her understanding of diverse knowledge areas to suit each individual. Kylie values feedback and integrates this into her practice. She is transparent and clear about her processes. She works collaboratively, and clients’ values and goals are central to her decision making. Clients’ lived experience is viewed as the ‘gold standard’ and takes precedence over pathologising models of experience.

Areas

Kylie’s works from a systems approach and is informed by the social model of disability which recognises that people function according to the ‘goodness of fit’ into their culture, their environments, and their support networks. To move towards greater wellbeing these systems need to be recognised, explored, understood, and where necessary, adapted. Kylie often works collaboratively with parents and carers, teachers, and family members when supporting a child in therapy, and finds that the best child outcomes come from being connected in compassion to all the ‘moving parts’ surrounding an individual.

Experience
Kylie has experience in community settings, low resourced countries, private clinics, hospitals, research roles, presenting, and supervision. She has studied in the areas of music performance, improvisation and play in therapy, group program delivery, music therapy, trauma informed care, clinical psychology, and neurodevelopmental conditions. Kylie is currently completing her joint PhD through University of Copenhagen (Denmark) and Deakin University (Melbourne) with her project involving the investigation of traumatic stress in parents of autistic children.
