People keep saying the same thing.
One conversation in, most clients say they’ve finally been understood.
“I truly felt heard for the first time in all my life and deeply understood.”
“When I came to Christina I was drowning in darkness… now I’m finally thriving again.”
“Due to her mediumship I was able to see core issues that I wasn’t able to recognise before.”
If you are here, depression might be showing up as…
- A heavy, flat feeling that makes simple tasks feel impossible.
- Sleeping too much, not sleeping enough, or waking already exhausted.
- Pulling away from people you love because connection feels like effort.
- Feeling guilty for not being able to “just get on with it”.
- Knowing there are deeper reasons for the low mood, but not knowing how to reach them safely.
How Christina works
Depression support that looks beneath the symptom.
The aim is not to force positivity or treat depression as a personal failure. The work is to understand what your system has been carrying, what has gone numb, and what needs care so life can begin to feel possible again.
Clinical safety
Depression is held with care, structure and psychological safety. Nothing is rushed or minimised.
Root-cause insight
Christina listens for the grief, burnout, trauma, disconnection or old pattern sitting beneath the low mood.
Gentle reconnection
Sessions support small, steady movement back towards energy, meaning, feeling and self-trust.

When your body and mind have pushed for too long and your system has started to shut down.

Old losses, life changes or unprocessed pain sitting beneath the heaviness.
Loss of meaning
Feeling disconnected from yourself, your purpose, your relationships or the life you thought you were building.
About Christina
The counsellor behind Soul Counselling.
Christina Feyes is a Gold Coast based counsellor with training in psychology, social work and human services, and over a decade of experience supporting people through difficult life seasons.
Her work brings together clinical knowledge, grounded counselling practice and intuitive insight, so sessions can hold both the practical and the deeper emotional or spiritual layers of what you are experiencing.
Common questions
Before you book.
If your question is not here, the free 15-minute assessment is the easiest way to ask it.
Isn’t counselling expensive?
In life everything has a price, yet we often spend on others and overlook ourselves. Counselling can look expensive on the surface, but most people attend around 6 to 12 sessions with the occasional booster afterwards — and unlike medication, it addresses the root cause rather than only the symptoms. Christina keeps her rate lower than many counsellors so it is easier to meet consistently, which makes real change more likely, and her main goal is simply to help you heal. Discounts are available for those who are genuinely financially challenged. The better question is often: how can you not afford to feel like yourself again?
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. The free 15-minute assessment is a simple way to ask questions and decide whether the work feels right.
Are sessions online?
Yes. Sessions are held online and by phone right across the Gold Coast — Southport to Coolangatta and out to the hinterland — so you can do the work from a private, familiar space.
Do I need to come into a Gold Coast clinic?
No. Christina works with Gold Coast clients online and by phone rather than from a waiting room — no M1 traffic and no commute, just support that fits around your life from Coomera to Palm Beach.
What if I do not know where to start?
That is completely normal. You do not need a polished story. Christina will help you begin with what is most present and work gently from there.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Some people feel a meaningful shift quickly; others prefer a steadier process. There is no minimum package and no pressure to continue.
What is the easiest next step?
Book the free 15-minute assessment. It is no pressure, no commitment, and gives you a chance to meet Christina before deciding.
What if I feel too flat to talk in a session?
That is welcome and common. Sessions move at your pace — some days are mostly listening and gentle questions. You do not need to arrive articulate for it to help.
Can online depression counselling help from home on the Gold Coast?
Yes. Being in your own familiar space lowers the barrier to opening up and removes the logistics of driving across the Coast on a low-energy day.
You do not have to explain it perfectly to begin.

Depression support across the Gold Coast
Low mood doesn’t always fit the Gold Coast postcard.
It can feel strange to struggle in a place built for holidays. Behind the beaches and the bright mornings, plenty of people on the Coast carry a heaviness they cannot explain — and the sunshine can make it harder to admit. Relocating here for a fresh start and feeling flat anyway, long hospitality or shift-work hours that erode any routine, being far from family, and the quiet comparison of a lifestyle town all wear people down.
- People who moved to the Coast for a change and feel flatter than they expected.
- Hospitality, retail and shift workers whose days have lost their rhythm and rest.
- Anyone holding a bright face from Surfers to Burleigh while feeling empty underneath.
- Parents and carers across Robina and Coomera running on duty rather than energy.
Sessions are held online and by phone, so reaching out doesn’t depend on a good day or a long drive — just a quiet room anywhere on the Coast. You can also explore all Gold Coast counselling services.
Depression support that meets a low day
You don’t have to leave the house on your hardest days.
The effort of reaching out can feel impossible with depression — and a drive across the Coast or up the M1 to a clinic can be the thing that stops you. Because sessions are online and by phone, you can be met in your own space from Coolangatta to Coomera on the days getting out the door feels like too much.
Christina works at a pace that respects how heavy things feel, helping you find small, doable steps back toward energy and connection rather than a checklist that adds pressure.
