extended support
This kind of support was never meant to replace real connection, but it was also never meant to leave you feeling like you had to carry everything alone between sessions. Life does not only unfold in neat, scheduled hours. The moments that shake you, confuse you or ask something new of you happen in real time, often when you least expect them. This is where extended support becomes something different.
clients often describe it as having professional support in their pocket.

Extended Support is a month of grounded, in-the-moment WhatsApp support, giving you direct access to me for thoughtful check-ins, voice notes, and guidance so you are not navigating life, healing or business on your own.
You do not need to be having regular sessions with me to have Extended Support.
Extended Support is for those who want grounded, in-the-moment support while navigating life, healing, relationships, or business. It is especially supportive if you find that things come up between sessions and you do not want to default to overthinking, self-abandonment, or relying solely on friends who love you but cannot always hold the full picture. This space offers continuity, containment, and professional support woven into your everyday life.
does this sound familiar?
You feel stuck and wish you had guidance in the moments that matter most.
You wake up carrying stress, anxiety or overwhelm and long for someone to help you navigate it in real time.
You know there are feelings, past pains or unprocessed experiences that come up and you want support as they surface.
You struggle to make sense of your emotions, set boundaries or say no without frustration or guilt.
Parenting, work or relationship challenges sometimes leave you drained and unsure how to respond.
You notice patterns of self-criticism, comparison or seeking validation outside of yourself, and you want a way to move through them.
You sense there’s more for you, more clarity, more trust in yourself, more ease, but it’s hard to access it alone.
Extended Support gives you a steady, grounded space to check in, reflect, and receive guidance via WhatsApp.
it’s like having professional support in your pocket, helping you move through life, healing and growth with presence and care every step of the way.
working with all parts of you
Your Mind is where your thoughts, beliefs, stories, and emotional patterns live. It’s the part of you that has learned how to survive, shaping how you see yourself, how you move through the world, and what you believe you’re worthy of.
This is where we gently explore the layers of conditioning, the limiting beliefs, and the emotional responses you’ve carried, many since childhood. It’s not about fixing or controlling your mind, but understanding it with compassion, creating space for awareness, emotional regulation, and softening the stories that no longer serve you.
Your Body is where everything unspoken lives. The emotions you couldn’t process, the trauma you didn’t have the tools to hold, the heaviness you’ve carried without even realising. Your body remembers what your mind has tried to forget. It stores tension, grief, fear, and pain in the muscles, the gut, the chest, anywhere it can.
Body work is about reconnecting with yourself, creating safety within, learning to listen to what your body is trying to tell you, and gently allowing release. It’s where healing moves from something you think about, to something you truly feel and embody.
Your Soul is your truest self, the part of you that has always been whole, even when life made you forget. It’s not about becoming someone new, but about slowly, tenderly, peeling back the layers until you remember who you’ve always been beneath the survival, the pain, and the stories.
Soul work is where you meet yourself again, where you hear the quiet whispers of your deepest truth, and where you finally feel at home within yourself. This is the part of you that holds meaning, connection, and the reminder that you were never broken, you were always worthy.
Together, these three parts create your whole self. Healing happens when we stop separating them and start nurturing them all, mind, body, and soul. This is the heart of my work, helping you heal, reconnect, and come home to yourself, mind, body, and soul.
i'm shorina, your holistic counsellor and wellbeing coach.
I’m here to guide you through a deeply nourishing, whole-self approach to healing. One that honours your mind, your body, and your soul. This work isn’t about ticking boxes or chasing perfection. It’s about creating space for you to truly come home to yourself, releasing what no longer serves you and reconnecting with the version of you that feels grounded, fulfilled, and free.
Together, we explore what’s been keeping you stuck, gently unravelling the stories, patterns, emotions, and heaviness you’ve carried. You’ll learn how to truly understand your mind, reconnect with your body, and come home to your soul in a way that feels safe, supportive, and deeply healing.
My approach weaves together everything I’ve learned (counselling, somatic trauma therapy, mindfulness, all the modalities along the way and spiritual connection). This framework holds you as you peel back the layers, release what no longer serves you, and begin to live in a way that feels lighter, clearer, and aligned.
This is your space to be seen, held, and guided, where healing becomes something you feel in every part of you, not just something you think about. You deserve to know what it feels like to truly come home to yourself.
armed with a diploma of counselling, somatic trauma therapy certification and mindfulness practitioner diploma, energy healing certification, clinical applications of eft certificate and 25+ specialty certifications across mental health, healing and business, you know you're in good hands (and heart).
i've been there too.
I understand your challenges, because I’ve lived through them myself. For years, I felt stuck in a relentless cycle of hardship and pain. I know what it’s like to feel buried by life’s struggles.
My life included every low point you could imagine: living alone at 14, enduring abusive relationships, losing my home to a storm, surviving a car accident that left me with a lifelong back injury, battling severe burnout, and experiencing traumatic births with my two children. It felt overwhelming and impossible to escape.
For nearly a decade, I moved from one traumatic experience to the next, without any sense of relief. To be honest, I didn't think I’d make it to 20 years old.
I was filled with self-hate, resentment, and exhaustion, and I often turned that pain inward, with self-harm and eventually an attempt to end my life. I was depressed, anxious, and completely lost, so when I say I understand the lowest of lows, I truly mean it.
Then, one day, I woke up and something shifted. I decided that I had had enough. I was tired of carrying all that pain, of feeling exhausted and trapped in a life that didn’t bring me joy or peace. I was done with allowing others to treat me poorly and with all the self-hate that had become my daily reality. I was ready for something different. I wanted to experience life in a new way, and I was willing to commit fully to change.
That decision became a turning point in my life. I promised myself I’d prioritise my own wellbeing and approach life differently. From that day forward, I committed to healing and growth, step by step. Over time, everything transformed. I discovered a life filled with meaning, self-respect, and a deep sense of peace.
now, i use my experiences to help others find their way out of the darkness, to heal and grow. i’m here to show you that real change is possible, no matter how impossible it might seem. together, we’ll work to help you build a life that feels deeply fulfilling, joyful, and aligned with who you truly are.

client love
none of this is about becoming someone new. it's about remembering who you were before life told you who to be.
it's about creating safety within yourself, learning to trust yourself again and finding peace in places you never thought possible.
if you're reading this, your heart already knows. it's time and you're ready. ready to feel lighter, more connected and more alive. ready to stop chasing healing and start embodying it.
and i would be honoured to walk alongside you on that journey.
frequently asked questions
What does Extended Support involve?
Extended Support is a month of grounded, in-the-moment WhatsApp guidance. It’s designed for those who want professional support woven into their everyday life as they navigate challenges, healing, or growth. You’ll have direct access to me via WhatsApp, with approximately 2 thoughtful responses each day, typically in the morning and afternoon (exact times may vary depending on my schedule and client load). This space is perfect for voice notes, reflections, questions, emotional processing, or simply having someone walk alongside you as life unfolds. Think of it as having professional support in your pocket, helping you move through things with presence, care, and clarity. Spaces are limited each month so I can show up fully for everyone I work with.
What modalities are used in Extended Support?
While this isn’t a formal session, my support draws on the same holistic, trauma-informed tools I use in counselling and coaching. This includes somatic practices, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, inner child work, emotional healing techniques and other tools as needed. The support is tailored to you and your moment-to-moment needs, rather than a rigid structure.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can start Extended Support immediately without waiting or going through your GP.
Is this service covered by Medicare or bulk-billing?
Unfortunately not. Medicare does not currently recognise counselling or coaching services under their scheme.
Are messages confidential?
Yes. All conversations are confidential. The only exceptions are if I believe you may be at risk of harm to yourself or others, or if I am legally required to disclose information.
How long does Extended Support last?
Extended Support runs for a full month, with ongoing check-ins each business day. You can choose to add it onto existing sessions or purchase it as a standalone offering.
What days is support available?
I respond to messages on business days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday), with thoughtful guidance provided each day within the parameters outlined above. Please note, replies on Friday are typically a little slower than other days.
Do you offer couples support via WhatsApp?
Extended Support is offered individually for personal or professional support and is not designed for couples.
What if I have a question not listed here?
Please feel free to contact me here. I’m happy to clarify anything so you can feel confident before you begin.
