Kylie

Mrs Kylie Bassula, BCouns

Licensed Professional Counselor

My goal is to create a calm, safe space where you can talk honestly about what’s going on without feeling judged or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling, build practical tools that help you cope, and find a way forward that feels manageable and empowering. I’ve had experience across different areas of counselling — including fertility and IVF support, anxiety, depression, relationships, child development, and working with young people — and I use all of that to support you in a way that actually fits your life.

About Me

Hi, I’m Kylie — counsellor, human, and someone who has absolutely had days where my brain behaves like a browser with 47 tabs open and not a single one responding. My style is warm, relatable, and human. No clinical stiffness. No judgement. And yes, I’ve been through IVF myself, which means I understand the emotional rollercoaster, the jargon, and the whiplash of hope and fear. But that’s just one part of what shaped me as a counsellor. It also deepens how I sit with anyone navigating anxiety, overwhelm, identity shifts, stress, or those “I’m barely holding it together” seasons of life.

Approach

My approach is warm, human, and refreshingly un-clinical. I don’t believe people come to counselling because they’re broken. They come because life has been a lot. You don’t need the right words or a polished version of yourself. You can be anxious, overwhelmed, emotional, or just plain exhausted. We’ll start there. Especially if IVF or anxiety has tipped everything upside down, you won’t need to explain or justify how hard it feels. I get it. Together, we focus on helping you feel calmer, steadier, and more like yourself again. No judgement. No fixing you. No pretending you’re fine.
