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.
And in the Top End heat, so far from family, a low mood can sit heavier than you expected.
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.

Burnout & exhaustion
When your body and mind have pushed for too long and your system has started to shut down.
Grief underneath depression
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 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.

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 Darwin — from the city and the northern suburbs to Palmerston and the rural area — so you can do the work from a private, familiar space.
Do I need to come into a Darwin clinic?
No. There is no Darwin clinic to visit. Christina works with Darwin 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.
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 or productive for it to help.
Can online depression counselling help from a remote city like Darwin?
Yes. Being in your own familiar space lowers the barrier to opening up, and online access means you are not limited by distance or local waitlists.
You do not have to explain it perfectly to begin.

Depression support across Darwin
Heat, distance and turnover can wear you down.
Depression in Darwin can be compounded by the heat, the long wet season and life so far from family and old supports. In a transient city where people come and go, a low mood can settle in quietly, with few familiar faces around to notice or to lean on.
- People worn down by the heat, the wet season and the distance.
- Those far from family with no one close to notice they are struggling.
- High-functioning people tired of holding it together.
- Anyone who has been meaning to reach out for longer than they would admit.
Sessions are held online and by phone across Darwin and all of Australia. You can also explore all Darwin counselling services.
Support on the hardest days
Help that reaches the Top End.
Online sessions mean remoteness and limited local services are no longer the barrier to real support.
Christina is a qualified counsellor with training in psychology and social work. Sessions are online from wherever you are, on the days that feel hardest, and the pace is gentle. You do not have to arrive with the energy to explain it all.
