What if the life you’re living isn’t the one you were designed for?

Holistic Counselling & Lifestyle Coaching on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Working through life’s challenges — not being defined by them

I’m Gemma-Lee, and I help people reconnect with the extraordinary that’s been hiding behind the ordinary.

For the past nine years, I’ve been guiding people through the moments that feel too heavy to carry alone — the anxiety that won’t quiet down, the relationships that have lost their way, the grief that sits in your chest, and the nagging feeling that there has to be more than this.

My approach is holistic because you are. We don’t just talk — we combine counselling with practices like meditation, mindfulness, and energy work to support the whole of you. Mind, body, and spirit.

And here’s what makes this space a little different: I don’t hand you a label and send you on your way. We work through what you’re carrying — together, gently, and at your pace — so you can move forward without it defining who you are.

It has been my pleasure to have known and been associated with Gemma-Lee, founder and owner of Phynix By Design, for 17 years and counting (since 2006). Her dedication and detail in the way she conducts both her life and business will see you, the client, supported and guided through your jounrney to better health and better control of your lifes journey. And it will seem like she is not even trying, as this ability to help and service peoples needs come naturally.
