About — Tayla Byrne Counselling and Somatic Practice

Hi, I’m Tayla

I'm a counsellor, somatic practitioner, and yoga teacher based in Melbourne. I've always been curious about what it means to be human, and the ways our experiences shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. I believe that when we slow down and make space for our experiences with curiosity and compassion, meaningful change can begin to unfold.

My Approach

I offer a gentle, relational, and body-aware approach to therapy that honours the connection between mind, body, and lived experience. Drawing from counselling, psychotherapy, somatic practices, and yoga, I create a collaborative space for curiosity, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

Body and Mind

I am interested in the ways our bodies hold experiences, emotions, patterns, and wisdom that words alone cannot always reach. Depending on your needs, sessions may include body awareness, movement, breath, and nervous system-informed practices alongside conversation, creating space to gently listen to what is being felt, sensed, and held within.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which I live and work, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation, and pay my respects to Elders past and present. I recognise that sovereignty was never ceded and that this always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

I acknowledge the deep and enduring connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have to Country, community, culture, and one another. I am committed to listening, learning, and practising in ways that are grounded in respect, cultural humility, and ongoing reflection.
