Christian Counselling Calgary, AB. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

I graduated from Trinity Western University, in Abbotsford, BC, with a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology in 2005. In this environment we were given opportunity to integrate our therapy philosophy and our faith. Faith in God has been recognized as a strength in terms of coping and managing stress. I can assist you to use this world view to work though the challenges of life and relationships.

How can we address thinking and behavior, without including the soul? "Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life." How do we deal with conflicting desires, interests, and wants? Understanding our role in God's greater story of redemption being told in the world today brings renewed strength, hope and energy. If you want a compassionate, grace-based approach to who you are and who you were meant to be, I'll journey along with you as you live out the personalized chapters of the life God has for you, and your relationship with Him will deepen. I practice caring, companionable soul care that helps you see God's presence in your life, no matter where you are in your journey.

I offer Christian/Biblical Counselling due to my own personal conversion from Islam to Christianity where I was saved after nearly dying from a fatal car accident on Deerfoot Trail in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My faith saved me not only from my physical injuries sustained in the accident and my chronic ill health of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia but also from my emotional and psychological trauma and heartbreak. I was so filled with God's unconditional acceptance that healing came quickly after I surrendered and was baptized.

I have a personal faith in God and counsel in harmony with scriptural principles. My education includes counselling, nursing, biblical studies, theology and spirituality.

I have been a Christian for about 30 years. The connection between emotional healing and Biblical principles is of a special interest to me. Often emotional healing offers a lot of care and empathy as described in a number of ways in the Bible. There is also healing that I believe is over and above what could happen in a non-Christian context. Being able to relate to and deal with struggles in Christianity and in the Church are also areas of focus.

As God's creation, people reflect God's nature. Just as God has a purpose for all that he does, every one of us has been given this purposefulness for all we do. Sometimes our purposes in life need transformation. On other occasions, our reasons or motives are already a wonderful reflection of God's heart, but the approach for achieving those goals has fallen short. Our habits, practices and relationships are what need transformation. McNaughton & Associates is “change-driven.” We want to help you experience God’s transforming power in your life.
