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, anxiety might be showing up as…
- Constant overthinking and mentally rehearsing every outcome.
- A tight chest, shallow breathing, panic or a body that feels on edge.
- Avoiding conversations, decisions or opportunities because they feel too much.
- Feeling exhausted by trying to look calm while everything inside is racing.
- Knowing the anxiety has a deeper root, but not knowing how to reach it safely.
And when the season’s rush gives way to the quiet, the worry can rush in to fill it.
How Christina works
Grounded support for the mind, body and deeper pattern.
Anxiety is not treated as something to simply control. The work is to understand why your system is bracing, what it is protecting you from, and how to create enough safety for real change.
Clinical safety
Practical counselling support for anxiety, panic, stress and nervous-system overwhelm.
Intuitive depth
Christina listens for the deeper pattern underneath the racing thoughts and body symptoms.
Steady regulation
Sessions help you build calm from the inside, not just perform calm on the outside.
Go deeper
Want the deeper explanation of anxiety counselling?
The service page is intentionally shorter now. If you want to understand what can happen inside the work, from reaching out to the first session and the quiet shifts afterwards, the anxiety blog goes deeper without making the page feel heavy.

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 Cairns — from the city and northern beaches to Edmonton, Gordonvale and the Atherton Tablelands — so you can do the work from a private, familiar space.
Do I need to come into a Cairns clinic?
No. There is no Cairns clinic to visit. Christina works with Cairns 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.
Can online counselling help with limited services in Cairns?
Yes. Online and phone sessions mean you are not limited to local waitlists or a long drive south — you can work with Christina from anywhere in Far North Queensland.
Can you work around seasonal hospitality shifts in Cairns?
Yes. Because sessions are online and by phone, Christina offers times that fit around tourism and hospitality rosters, including early and late.
You do not have to keep living on high alert.

Anxiety support across Cairns
Seasonal work and remoteness can keep the mind racing.
Cairns runs on tourism and the seasons, which brings its own pressure. Boom-and-quiet hospitality work, the wet-season heat and broken sleep, remoteness from family and specialist services, and a transient workforce always moving on can all keep anxiety humming under an easy tropical surface.
- Hospitality and tourism workers riding the boom-and-quiet seasons.
- People worn down by the wet-season heat, humidity and broken sleep.
- Those far from family or specialist services in Far North Queensland.
- Anyone unsettled by a transient town where people keep moving on.
Because sessions are online and by phone, you get support from a quiet room anywhere in Cairns or the Far North — no long waitlist and no travel. You can also explore all Cairns counselling services.
Support that fits seasonal work and distance
Help that doesn’t depend on being near a clinic.
In a remote, seasonal town, timely support can be hard to find. Sessions are held by video or phone and can be booked early, after hours or around shifts, so you get consistent help without a long local wait or a drive south.
Between sessions, Christina helps you build practical ways to settle your nervous system when it spikes — before a shift, in the wet-season heat, lying awake at night — so the tools fit your real life in the Far North.
