Christian Counselling Grunthal, MB. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

Christian counseling is pastoral/spiritual counseling which uses psychology and Christian teaching to address issues of the heart and soul. As a Christian therapist I seek to help clients work through psychological and spiritual issues using both traditional therapeutic methods and a philosophy based on traditional Christian beliefs and the teachings of the Bible; I endeavour to honour a client's particular spiritual beliefs and faith. I believe a person's faith is a resource and strength as they journey on their path to wholeness. Consequently I address issues from a spiritually integrated perspective that goes beyond just the physical, psychological and emotional aspects of a client's life

As a Christian who is also a therapist, I understand how important it is to be able to connect with other Christians at a deeper level--to share struggles, ask/reflect on difficult questions, and experience Galatians 6:2 in action. When it comes to engaging faith in therapy, I'm client led. This tends to look like asking exploratory questions, offering encouragements where relevant, and even offering select faith-based exercises (often mindfulness meditations). It will never look like telling you 'you simply need to pray more, have more faith, etc.', nor telling you what you ought to believe. I will step in with you as a fellow believer (rather than a pastor, etc.).

As a Christian counselor, I hold to beliefs and values that inform my worldview and my approach to counseling. Wherever you are in your spiritual journey or beliefs you hold, I will respect you and meet you there. 1. We all have great value & worth before God who loves and understands us. 2. We are all spiritual beings, which we express in our own unique ways. 3. We are broken people & we live in a broken world of suffering & pain. 4. We find our wholeness & healing in relationship with God. 5. We are responsible to choose what is good & right in our choices, behaviors & attitudes. 6. There are no easy answers to life problems. We hope in God's promise to sustain us and in His abiding grace.
