Gold Coast counsellor since 2012
About Christina Feyes
Christina founded Soul Counselling in 2012. She holds a Bachelor in Psychology and Social Work, and pairs that grounding with intuitive and holistic practices to offer a personalised approach to emotional wellbeing and deeper self-understanding, in person on the Gold Coast and online across Australia. She is also a writer, and the author of Realizing Death.
Each session is carefully tailored to the individual needs, comfort level and goals of the person in front of her. Some clients want grounded counselling and practical guidance. Others feel drawn to intuitive insight, energy work, spiritual understanding or a more holistic experience.

Her story
A different kind of counselling.
Since 2012 Christina has sat with people through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship breakdown, trauma and the quiet sense that the old way of living no longer fits. On the Gold Coast she also ran grief support groups, alongside her one-to-one work.
What sets her work apart is time. Many counselling sessions stop at 45 minutes. Christina’s run for 60 to 90 minutes, so there is room to settle in, follow the feeling wherever it leads and reach the heart of things without watching the clock. Because each session can go deeper, many clients need fewer of them, and some feel a real shift after the very first.
People often arrive having tried other counsellors or psychologists without ever feeling truly met. With Christina the work starts with being properly heard. From that safety it moves beneath the symptom to the root that kept someone stuck.
In clients’ words
How Christina works
A safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space.
Christina’s intention is to create a space where you feel supported, heard and understood. The work is calm, grounded and responsive, allowing sessions to naturally unfold according to what you need emotionally, mentally, spiritually and energetically.
She believes true healing is deeply personal. The aim is not to push a fixed method onto you, but to honour your unique journey with care, presence and authenticity.
Christina is also a medium. She does not offer psychic readings. Her intuitive and mediumship abilities help her sense what sits beneath a client’s concerns, so the work reaches the root sooner. For people who are grieving, she also offers mediumship sessions that can help them feel connected with a loved one who has passed. Read more about spiritual counselling and mediumship.

The writer
Christina Feyes, author of Realizing Death
Christina is a writer as well as a counsellor. Her book, Realizing Death, is a reflective exploration of grief, consciousness and the human experience. It grew out of years spent sitting with people at the edge of loss, change and the deeper questions grief brings up, and it gives those questions room instead of rushing them.
She also writes the articles on the Soul Counselling blog: plain-language guides on anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, trauma and intuition, for anyone wondering whether counselling could help.
“There are questions that follow us quietly throughout life, often unspoken, yet always present beneath the surface.”From Realizing Death
