Five-star Google reviews
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, trauma might be showing up as…
- Feeling triggered by things that seem small from the outside.
- Shutting down, freezing, people-pleasing or becoming hyper-alert.
- Carrying memories, body sensations or emotions that still feel current.
- Struggling with trust, boundaries, safety or self-worth.
- Knowing you need support, but fearing being pushed too fast.
And as Melbourne’s winters close in, what you have been outrunning can get harder to ignore.
How Christina works
Safe, paced trauma support.
Trauma work needs care. Christina does not force disclosure or push catharsis. Sessions are paced around safety, consent and what your system is ready to process.
Safety first
You stay in choice. Nothing is forced, rushed or extracted.
Body-aware depth
Support for how trauma shows up emotionally, mentally and in the nervous system.
Root-level healing
Christina works with the pattern underneath survival responses, not just the symptom.

About Christina
The counsellor behind Soul Counselling.
Christina Feyes is a counsellor with training in psychology, social work and human services, and over a decade of experience supporting people through difficult life seasons, working with clients across Australia.
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 for people right across Melbourne — from the inner north and west to Dandenong, Frankston, the bayside and the outer east — so you can do the work from a private, familiar space.
Do I need to come into a Melbourne clinic?
No. There is no Melbourne clinic to visit. Christina works with Melbourne clients online and by phone from anywhere in Australia, so there is no cross-city commute and no waiting room — just support that fits around work and family.
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.
Will I have to retell everything that happened?
No. Trauma counselling does not require detailed retelling to help. Christina focuses on safety, pacing and how the past lives in the present, and you share only what feels right, when it feels right.
Is online trauma counselling safe and effective?
Yes. For many people it is preferable — being in a familiar, private space supports the sense of safety trauma work needs, and removes the stress of travelling across Melbourne while already activated.
Trauma work can be gentle.
Start with a free 15-minute assessment and decide whether Christina feels safe enough for the next step.

Trauma support across Melbourne
Melbourne lets you stay busy enough to outrun it, until winter.
Melbourne offers endless ways to stay occupied, work, study, culture, opinion, and trauma can hide behind all of it for a long time. Then the long grey winters close in, the distractions thin out, and what you have been outrunning gets louder. The city carries plenty of people holding this quietly: frontline and healthcare workers from its big hospital network, professionals under pressure, and those who came to Melbourne to start again somewhere the past could not follow.
- Healthcare and frontline workers carrying the weight of what they witness.
- High-functioning people who stay busy precisely so they do not have to feel it.
- Those who notice it surfaces most in the long, dark Melbourne winters.
- Anyone whose body still braces long after the danger has passed.
Sessions are held online and by phone across Melbourne and all of Australia, so support fits around your life. You can also explore all Melbourne counselling services.
Safe enough to do the work
Trauma work from your own warm, safe space.
Through a Melbourne winter, the last thing you need is to drag yourself across the city to an unfamiliar room when you are already worn thin.
Christina is a qualified counsellor with formal training in psychology and social work, and trauma-aware sessions are paced so you stay in control. The work is held online from wherever already feels safe to you, and nothing is pushed before you are ready.
