A woman gazing out a window, lost in thought

Your body hasn't failed. It's speaking. Are you listening?

Integrative somatic counselling for anxiety, depression, and the exhaustion your doctor's tests can't explain.

You've done everything "right"...

Maybe it's anxiety that looms, sleep that doesn't restore, a body that aches without answers. Maybe it's a marriage ending, a diagnosis landing, a grief that has rearranged everything. You've collected the labels, maybe a script. And still, something in you says none of it has reached the actual thing.

That quiet knowing is worth taking seriously.

What if it isn't a disorder to be managed

What if it isn't a set of separate problems, but one nervous system asking to be heard?

Here, we don't silence it. We get curious about what it came to say.

Searching for something more

Health challenges always point to something more. Relationship breakdowns carry more to the story. And deep grief tends to send us searching for more in life... purpose, reason... peace.

You are

That's why you're here... you're looking for More Than Counselling. Welcome to an integrative, holistic approach that meets the all of you. Body, story, nervous system, life... hopes, dreams, desires... and fears.

Fionna Findley, Integrative Somatic Counsellor

Hi, I'm Fionna.

I'm an Integrative Somatic Counsellor. I work with the nervous system and the story together, slowly, at your pace. Not to fix you. You were never broken. To help you live inside your own life again.

The people who find me tend to arrive ready for a shift, sensing the next layer lives in the body, not just the head.

In person in Hervey Bay, often in nature, in your home, or online anywhere in Australia.

Ways to work with me

Integrative Somatic Counselling

The nervous system and the story, together, at your pace. This is your time. You can say the thing you haven't said out loud, and feel where it has been sitting in your body. Some weeks we start with words, some with the body.

50 minutes · $170, or $220 for a longer 90 minute session

Family Counselling

When the hard thing sits between people rather than inside one person. Illness, grief, a diagnosis, a separation, a young person who has gone quiet. We work with the patterns, the nervous systems and the words that never quite get said, so a family can find its way back to each other.

$170 per session

Integrative Yoga

More than yoga. A moving counselling session: taught to the group, felt personally. We use the wisdom of yoga and the intelligence of the body to make sense of what you're feeling, and to ground back into the body until you find the safety switch again.

Privates $170 per hour, discounted for class students

The Friday Class

A weekly integrative yoga class, priced so anyone can access this work in a group, on the mat. Slower than most, built on what the nervous system is doing rather than what the shape looks like. No experience needed and no bendiness required.

Fridays 10 to 11am · Hervey Bay · $15
held at House of Habits studio, Witt Street, Torquay
