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.
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 Gold Coast based counsellor with training in psychology, social work and human services, and over a decade of experience supporting people through difficult life seasons.
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 right across the Gold Coast — Southport to Coolangatta and out to the hinterland — so you can do the work from a private, familiar space.
Do I need to come into a Gold Coast clinic?
No. Christina works with Gold Coast clients online and by phone rather than from a waiting room — no M1 traffic and no commute, just support that fits around your life from Coomera to Palm Beach.
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; you share only what feels right, when it feels right.
Is online trauma counselling safe and effective?
Yes. For many people it is preferable — a familiar, private space supports the safety trauma work needs, and removes the stress of travelling across the Coast while already activated.
Trauma work can be gentle.

Trauma support across the Gold Coast
Carrying trauma while the Coast keeps moving.
A lifestyle town has a way of expecting everyone to be relaxed and fine. Trauma does not read the postcard. First responders, hospitality and FIFO workers, people who moved here to get distance from something, and those whose bodies still brace from the past all live on the Gold Coast — often feeling unsafe inside while everything around them says paradise.
- First responders, healthcare and hospitality workers carrying what they have witnessed.
- People who relocated to the Coast to put distance between themselves and a hard past.
- Anyone whose nervous system still braces, even somewhere meant to feel safe.
- Those who freeze, over-function or shut down when reminders surface.
Because sessions are online and by phone, you can do this slow, careful work from a place that already feels safe — no waiting room and no commute, anywhere on the Coast. You can also explore all Gold Coast counselling services.
Why online suits trauma work
Doing the work from a place that already feels safe.
Trauma work asks a lot of the nervous system, so where you do it matters. Meeting online means your own safe space — your room, your chair, your door — rather than a clinic waiting room or an M1 commute that has you braced before you arrive.
Christina works slowly and collaboratively, never pushing past what your system can hold. You stay in control of the pace and of what you share — which for many people is the first experience of safety the work needs.
