Relationship Counselling, Gold Coast
Relationship counselling on the Gold Coast, together or on your own.
Relationships shape almost everything we feel, and they are rarely simple. I am Christina Feyes, a counsellor with training in psychology, social work and intuitive healing, helping people across the Gold Coast work through the relationships that matter, online or by phone.

Relationship counselling is broader than counselling for a couple in crisis. It is about the patterns you bring to all your relationships, and you do not need a partner in the room to do it.
Some people come as a couple. Many come on their own, to understand why the same dynamics keep repeating, to heal after a relationship ended, to prepare for commitment, or to work on a strained tie with a parent, an adult child or a friend. Wherever the difficulty sits, the work is the same: understanding the pattern, and learning to relate differently.
You might be here because
- You keep ending up in the same kind of relationship, or the same kind of conflict.
- You and your partner need help, but they are not ready to come yet.
- A relationship has ended and you want to understand it before the next one.
- You are about to commit and want to start on solid ground.
- A bond with a parent, adult child or close friend has become painful.
- You love deeply and still struggle to feel secure or to set boundaries.
How I work
Fair, unhurried and grounded, whether you come alone or together.
The pattern, not the blame
We look at the dynamics underneath the conflict, the old patterns and unmet needs driving it, rather than deciding who is at fault.
Alone or together
Come on your own to work on how you relate, or with the other person. One person changing often shifts the whole dynamic.
At your pace
Clinically grounded, and where it helps, intuitively informed. No pushing, and never faster than the more cautious person is ready for.
What relationship counselling can help with
Repeating patterns
Understanding why the same dynamics keep showing up, and how to break the cycle for good.
Working on it solo
Doing the relationship work on your own when a partner will not come, or when the work is really about you.
After a breakup
Making sense of a relationship that ended, grieving it, and not carrying it into the next one.
Family relationships
Strained ties with a parent, an adult child or a sibling, and finding a healthier way to relate.
Attachment and security
Anxiety, avoidance or insecurity in love, and learning to feel safe and set boundaries.
Before commitment
Starting a marriage or a serious relationship on honest, solid ground.
If you are specifically looking for work as a couple, see couples counselling or marriage counselling on the Gold Coast. To work on your own patterns, the individual counselling page explains how that runs.
Across the Gold Coast, online
Sessions are held online or by phone, so there is no travel and no waiting room.
“I was able to see core issues that I was not able to recognise before.”Ellie
From Southport to Robina to the hinterland, you can do this from home, alone or with the other person, and even from two locations joined into one call when you cannot be in the same place. The healing comes from finally understanding the pattern and being met without judgement, and that travels through a screen intact.

Can I do relationship counselling on my own?
Yes, and many people do. You can work on your relationship patterns, heal after a breakup, or prepare for commitment without anyone else in the room. Often one person changing shifts the whole dynamic.
What is the difference between relationship and couples counselling?
Couples counselling is specifically two partners working together. Relationship counselling is broader, it includes couples, but also individuals working on their patterns, people healing after a breakup, and strained family relationships. They overlap, and we will use whichever fits your situation.
Are you a psychologist?
No. I am a counsellor with a background in psychology, social work and human services, and I do not diagnose or prescribe. For relationship work, counselling is the natural fit. If you need a diagnosis or a Medicare rebate, a registered psychologist is the right path.
What does it cost to find out if it is right for me?
Nothing. The first step is a free 15-minute assessment, with no card and no obligation. It is a genuine conversation, not a sales call, so you can decide in your own time.
Do you work across the whole Gold Coast?
Yes. Sessions are online or by phone, so I work with people from Southport, Robina, Burleigh, the hinterland and everywhere in between, with no travel and no waiting room.
