and you get to have it.
Healing is not just about the mind. It is not only about the body. And it isn’t complete when we focus solely on our soul. True, lasting healing happens when we meet ourselves fully. In the mind, in the body, and in the deepest parts of our soul.
For so many of us, healing starts in the mind. We learn the tools. We read the books. We listen to the podcasts. We try to think our way through the pain, believing that if we just know enough, if we just understand enough, we’ll be free. And while knowledge is powerful, it’s only ever part of the journey.
Because healing isn’t something we can think our way through. It’s something we live, something we feel, something we embody. And that is the foundation of my work.
My work is different. It meets every part of you.
We work with your mind to understand the stories you carry.
We work with your body to release what has been trapped.
We work with your soul to guide you home.
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.

Setting boundaries and saying no is hard, leaving you frustrated and resentful.
Parenting challenges often push you to lose your cool.
You seek love and validation outside of yourself.

Despite trying, you struggle to find positivity in your days.

i hear you, i see you & i'm here to support and guide you.
it doesn't have to be this way anymore.
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, and 20+ specialty certifications, 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 modalities do you use?
For the sake of ease, I refer to my sessions as counselling and coaching sessions, however my 1:1 approach weaves together a range of modalities. Some of the beautiful modalities I use are counselling, coaching, somatic practices, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, inner child work, and emotional healing tools. All of which are trauma-informed. This allows me to meet you exactly where you are and provide the support you truly need. There’s no cookie-cutter process in my world. Every session is guided by you, where you're at and what you need.
​
Do I need a referral?
No. You can access my support without needing to wait long periods or seeing your GP!
​
Do you bulkbill or offer any Medicare rebates?
Unfortunately no, Medicare does not recognise counsellors or coaches under their scheme.
​
How long are your sessions?
All of my sessions are 50-minutes long and include an after-session email. The email will contain some general notes and your homework from our session together and they often include additional resources such as worksheets, guided meditations, workbooks or anything else that I feel will benefit you.
​
Are sessions confidential?
Yes, all sessions are confidential, though there are a few reasons I may need to break confidentiality, they are: if I believe you are at harm to yourself or others or if I am subpoenaed by law.
​What days do you work?
Sessions are available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.​​
​​
Do you offer couples counselling?
I do not currently offer couples counselling.
