holistic counselling
THE HEART REALM
In the sacred space of the heart, the mind finds clarity, the body finds peace, and together they create harmony for the soul.
Welcome
Inside the heart the soul speaks its wisdom, guiding us from darkness to light.
At The Heart Realm, we believe true healing begins from within. Our holistic counselling approach combines the wisdom of your inner self with heart-centred and evidence-based techniques to support emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. We provide a safe, warm and compassionate space where you can explore your inner world, reconnect with your authentic self, and turn challenges into opportunities for growth. You are the master of your own healing, and we are here to guide and support you in discovering it.
DISCOVER
OUR APPROACH
At The Heart Realm, we believe in the power of healing through the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic approach is a deep inner exploration to help you connect deeply with your true self and live with purpose.
At The Heart Realm, we offer a heart-centred, person-centred counselling experience that honours your whole being: mind, body, heart, and spirit.We understand that every healing journey is unique. That’s why we work together to discover what truly supports you. Our approach is not one size fits all, instead, it’s an intuitive blend of therapeutic tools designed to meet you where you are.At the core of our work is the intention to reconnect you with your inherent worth and inner wisdom. This often begins by gently meeting the parts of you that carry self-criticism or emotional pain, using compassion-focused practices that honour the ways you’ve learned to cope. We also draw on mindfulness and values-based approaches to help you accept your experiences, stay present, and move forward in alignment with what matters most to you.Throughout the process, we explore the stories you hold about yourself and your life, how they’ve shaped you, and how they can be reshaped to support healing and growth. As we do this, we’re also working with the brain’s natural capacity for change (neuroplasticity), creating space for new perspectives to emerge.Because healing is not just mental (it’s deeply physical) we listen to the messages of the body. Somatic therapy supports you to release stored tension and trauma, guiding you toward a deeper sense of embodiment and safety. We may also work with breathwork, meditation, or energy-based practices to explore your connection to something greater.Together, we honour your strengths, your inner child, your ancestral story, and the existential questions that shape your life. Creativity may also be part of your path. Through art therapy, you’re invited to express, process, and discover parts of yourself that words can’t always reach.Every session is a co-creation. Rooted in presence and compassion, guided by evidence-based wisdom, and shaped by your unique needs and own direction.
MEET THE FOUNDER
CHRISTINE MARIE TRAJKOVSKA
"Every heart seeks a place where it feels safe, cared for, and deeply connected, for it is in these spaces that we are truly seen, understood, and able to thrive."
ABOUT CHRISTINEHello, and welcome to The Heart Realm. I’m deeply honoured to have you here, our paths have crossed for a reason, and I don’t believe it’s by accident.A little about me, I am a dedicated and committed counsellor, here to guide you on their journey of healing and self-discovery. As a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), I provide professional and ethical care to my clients. I work with adults and teenagers from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. I aim to create a respectful and supportive space where you can safely explore your emotions, challenges, and personal growth.My counselling style is holistic where I see you as a whole being, with mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. I integrate evidence-based interventions with timeless, ancient approaches to support your healing journey. It’s not uncommon for sessions to include practices like breathwork alongside therapeutic modalities such as narrative therapy. I believe this integration creates lasting transformation by supporting you in deepening your self-awareness and engaging in self-reflection through intuitive exploration. It also allows you to tune into your emotions and bodily sensations to gain clarity and release stored emotional blocks and move towards healing.My approach is person centred, meaning I believe you are the expert of your own life and I am simply here to witness and guide you towards that inner connection. Every individual is unique and I tailor each session for what is most relevant for you each time I see you.I believe that counselling can be a meaningful and life-affirming journey, which creates a ripple effect in your world because when you heal yourself, you are also contributing to the healing of future generations.

In couples sessions, I draw on a range of approaches to gently explore the deeper layers of your relationship and help you find new ways to connect and communicate.• We look at your attachment styles which involves how your early relationships may have shaped the way you respond to closeness, conflict, and connection. This helps each partner understand their own needs and patterns, as well as each other’s.• Using a solution-focused approach, we build on your strengths and focus on what’s working, while gently guiding you toward the kind of relationship you want to create together.• Emotionally focused work helps you get to the heart of your feelings and needs, supporting both of you to express yourselves more openly and respond to each other with greater empathy and care.• With an existential lens, we explore the bigger picture: what gives your relationship meaning, how you face life’s challenges together, and how to live with more intention and authenticity.• Through narrative therapy, we reflect on the stories you’ve each carried into the relationship, about yourself, each other, and the partnership and gently reshape the ones that no longer serve you, creating space for healing and growth.Each session is a safe, supportive space where you can be heard, understood, and guided as you grow a more connected and conscious partnership.
