About Christobel
Christobel Jhonly is an Australian counsellor with six years' experience and accreditation through the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). She works with people who are distressed and helps them move toward clearer goals and better wellbeing. Christobel brings a warm, direct approach and values listening closely to each person's story.
She uses her life experience and multicultural awareness to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on what is causing ongoing worry or pain.
How Christobel works
She helps people understand patterns such as attachment concerns, control issues, or difficulties with communication. Christobel supports people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem problems. She also addresses relationship strain, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and workplace problems.
Other areas she works with include body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Her manner is both encouraging and goal-oriented. People can expect compassionate listening paired with steps to reduce distress and build coping skills.
She can also help during pregnancy and childbirth and with women’s health matters, offering a space to talk through those transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Tamil. Christobel is based in Australia and provides care through online formats.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to availability.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Christobel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a clear, practical way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practising alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This helps people break cycles of worry and improve daily functioning.Another useful approach centres on processing difficult experiences related to trauma and abuse in manageable steps. It involves stabilising symptoms, building coping skills, and then gently working through painful memories so they have less impact on current life. This method is suited to people struggling with panic, post-traumatic stress, or intense shame and guilt.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, consider a person's goals and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is made. Clients take an active role in shaping what happens in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and messaging allows ongoing check-ins between calls. These options make it easier to get regular support around work, family life, or other commitments.
