Christina Kioulafas Counselling 299 Moray Street, South Melbourne, Victoria 3205

Welcome to Christina Kioulafas Counselling, located in the beautiful city of South Melbourne, Australia. My name is Christina and I am an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals of all ages and stages of life.

At Christina Kioulafas Counselling, we specialize in working with intergenerational trauma and patterns of behavior. We understand the challenges that modern parenting brings, and have a keen interest in early childhood. Whether you are a caregiver facing parenting challenges or an individual going through a life transition, we are here to listen and support you.

Our approach is person-centered, meaning that you are the expert in your own life. We believe that healing starts in a safe and trusting relationship between client and therapist. We offer a variety of therapy modalities tailored to your specific needs, helping you work through past trauma, bring issues to the surface, change old patterns, manage behavior or moods, and connect with all the parts of yourself and others in your life.

For children who may be experiencing behavioral issues at home or school, we provide specialized support. This includes working on social skills, learning difficulties, adjusting to new siblings, separation, transitions in the home, or anxiety. In therapy, we create a free and protected safe space where children can express themselves through play. We practice non-directive play therapy, allowing the child to lead the way. Parents are welcome to be present during sessions, and we also offer support to parents, teachers, and other caregivers to foster positive relationships with their children.

Confidentiality is of utmost importance to us, and we will discuss it in detail during our first session.

In addition to my experience in counselling, I am also a mother and a plant lover. My academic journey began with a passion for sociology, but I soon found myself drawn to the inner worlds of individuals. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and a Graduate Diploma in Mental Health Science specializing in Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy. I have worked extensively in the community non-profit sector, providing support to traumatised adults, children, and young people. I collaborate with schools, government services, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals. I also teach postgraduate counselling students and offer mentorship and supervision. As a clinical member of PACFA, I adhere to professional standards and ethical guidelines.
