Counseling

Wise, loving counsel from the Word of God.

Whatever you are carrying, whether grief, fear, conflict, shame or a struggle you cannot name, God’s Word speaks to it with truth and with hope. We would be honoured to walk with you.

Understanding it

What is biblical counseling?

Biblical counseling is the personal ministry of God’s Word: one believer helping another to see their life and their struggles through the lens of Scripture, and to respond to God in faith and obedience.

Every one of us lives by some understanding of who we are, what is wrong with us and what will make things right. Biblical counseling holds that the God who created us has given the truest answers to those questions in His Word. Scripture explains the troubles of the soul, our own sin, the wrongs done to us, and the pain of life in a fallen world, and it points us to the grace and power of Jesus Christ to forgive, heal and change us.

So a biblical counselor does not simply manage symptoms. They listen patiently, seek to understand the whole person, and gently bring the promises, commands and comfort of Scripture to the heart, where real and lasting change begins.

Rooted in Scripture

The Bible is our authority and our source of wisdom for the soul.

Centred on Christ

Our hope is not a technique but a Person, the Lord Jesus.

Aimed at the heart

We look beneath behaviour to what we love, fear and trust.

At home in the church

Care happens best within the family of a local church.

Who it is for

Complete the Personal Data Inventory

The PDI is an intake form that helps your counselor understand your background, your situation and your hopes for counseling before you meet.

Meet with your counselor

Sessions take place weekly or every two weeks. Scripture is the only source of authority used, and your counselor will encourage you to stay closely connected to your local church.

Do the homework

Every session ends with homework, which opens the next session. Faithfully completing it is essential: counseling cannot continue without it.
