In our lives as Christians, the struggle often lies in aligning our faith with the challenges of daily life. My approach integrates your spiritual beliefs with psychological principles, providing a holistic path to healing. We'll explore issues in the light of your faith, drawing strength and guidance from it. As a result, you'll experience a renewed sense of spiritual harmony and well-being, finding solutions that resonate with your values and beliefs, strengthening your faith and personal growth.

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.

For many Christians the use of psychotropic medication is still unacceptable. Taking insulin or tablets for blood pressure is accepted, but taking ‘drugs’ for mental illness is often frowned upon. If you have questions about whether or not you as a Christian should take antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, mood stabilizers, etc., Dr Mervin (Paraklesis Counselling) can come alongside you from a faith-based perspective and help you understand what these medications do, and why and when you should use them. “Honour the doctor for his services, for the Lord created him ... The Lord has created medicines from the earth, and a sensible man will not disparage them.” - Ecclesiasticus 38: 1-4
