If your reading this than you are having conflicting thoughts on where the bible fits in your life. You're not alone, so many feel this way. Is it okay to have doubts? Yes, absolutely. Your beliefs at exactly that, your beliefs. Where does The bible belong in your life? Are you feeling pressured to believe by someone you love? If you have questions and you want an honest, open-minded, non-judgemental approach to your thoughts, then let's get together and chat.

Are you finding yourself struggling with issues that may be beyond the scope of pastoral care? Do you want to incorporate your Christian faith into the process of healing and recovery? If so, come and experience a safe place where your heart is heard. After graduating with a degree from a theological college, I spent more than a decade in pastoral ministry. I then returned to university to obtain a Master of Counselling degree. I am uniquely equipped to walk with you on your healing journey from both a theological and psychological perspective.

As a practicing Christian, I am thrilled to be able to offer a spiritual dimension into my counselling practice. I have lead workshops and written a chapter in a book on how to incorporate spirituality and creativity together into the therapeutic process. I call this "Creating with the Creator." As we look as your spiritual beliefs and practices together, we can find a place of hope and healing with God at the center.

Christians are not immune to suffering, to mental illness, to anguish in their relationships. The faith journey and the human journey are far from easy. It can be difficult, as a Christian, to make sense of this suffering, and it often raises questions about one's faith and worldview. Christianity has something very important to say about who we are as human beings, what is the human condition, how does change happen? Christian counselling uses the tools and insights of psychology, while ultimately being aware of, and true to, a wider faith perspective. I completed my M.A. at TWU, where I focused on integrating Christianity and psychology.

Life. Abundance. Freedom. These are things Christians look to have in their life and I believe God does have a good plan for your life. It can be extra-challenging when you have a faith and you find yourself struggling to manage life's challenges and hurts or resolve them. Yet out of these difficult times, good an come. Talking to a skilled therapist that understands and honours your spiritual values can be the right assistance you need to heal and recover. By using a blend of therapeutic conversations, counselling skills, and life-coaching on a foundation of spiritual truths, I would be happy to assist you in a healing and a transformational process.

A shared faith background can be an important component to feeling safe and understood by your therapist. Research indicates that spiritual faith can be a very strong factor in ones mental health. Sometimes our faith journey comes with painful experiences that can leave us feeling raw, vulnerable and confused. If you are wanting to explore and incorporate your spirituality and faith in your counselling journey I encourage you to reach out and we will connect you to a therapist that fits for you.

Approaching counselling from a Christian perspective is not about relying on God to solve your problems, but rather learning how to align oneself to live and work within his created world and intentions for our happiness. Free will is an essential gift that allows us to explore this creation and find meaning and happiness that has been inspired by God. Developing a trust in God to guide and direct us in this task is an essential process in establishing faith that God will keep us safe whiling using our freewill and experience to look both ways before we cross the street.

Spiritual convictions are some of deepest beliefs we can have as human beings. For many clients of the Christian faith, having a counselor who shares their worldview is an essential part of therapy. Knowing that a counselor is approaching therapy from a faith based perspective, with a core set of common values, can help clients feel understood at the most fundamental level of their humanity.

Is anyone tired of traditional "Christian" Counseling? I know I came to that place in my life growing up, when I didn't just want to hear that God could heal all of my messes (even though I knew He could - if it is His will), I wanted to know that someone (hear on earth) had my best interests at hand too! However, there is still evil around us, and we certainly don't just want to put our hearts in minds into the hands of just anyone. It is important, in my opinion, to have an educated counselor that knows what he or she is doing, who also see's counseling as a partnership between him/herself (the counselor), God and the power of prayer, and of course the client.

As a counselor I provide Christian and spiritual direction through the counseling process. This process is Christian and spiritually centered with the client as their own expert. As a Christian and spiritually focused clinician I value each individual client with their own uniqueness, values and beliefs. As a Christian counselor I believe in the trinity which includes God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

For many people, spirituality is an important part of their belief system and helps inform who they are. While I work with clients of all backgrounds, many clients specifically seek out therapists who share similar values and beliefs as them. In offering counselling to Christians, I do not impart my views or beliefs, but simply hold space for you to process your experiences and allow you to ask yourself questions you may not feel comfortable asking in other places.

I am a practising Catholic. I use a common sense approach and I respect all religions. There is no right or wrong religion. My faith has helped me many times during my lengthy career. For 14 years I was a consultant with the BC Coroner's Office and I did psychological autopsies of teens that either committed suicide or were suspected of committing suicide. Many times my faith gave me the strength to support those grieving parents in the most terrible time of their lives.

I describe myself as a liberal Christian with a strong relationship with God. I believe firstly in His love for us and don't ascribe to the idea that He holds us in contempt or judgement. Christian counselling in my practice includes bringing Jesus into the room using listening prayer and bringing a spiritual perspective to our work together.

I think it is fair to say that most Christians view "Psychology" with suspicion. Yet Christians face exactly the same problems in life as everyone else does, often creating difficulty getting help when it is necessary. As a Christian Clinical Counselor, I attempt to integrate psychology and Christianity. I do this in part by keeping God and Biblical truth as core values. Christians have access to the power of God's word to help them have a deeper understanding of themselves, their circumstances and God. I have Master's Degrees in both Pastoral Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy and work from a non-denominational framework when working with my Christian clients.

My approach is unapologetically CHRISTIAN and my values and beliefs permeate all that I do. The belief that all truth is God's truth establishes the basis for my therapy. The client can expect to gain further understanding of the principles of scripture and how they relate to contemporary life. My goal is to enable them to relate God's word to everyday life.

As a Christian, I am passionate about seeing others encounter Jesus in a powerful way. I engage clients in practical ways through scripture and experientially through the Holy Spirit to deepen their relationship with the Father. I, also, support those who are struggling in their faith or who have been hurt by others in the church. Often, people come who have been hurt by others or are facing significant losses and, yet desire to continue seeking out a faith-filled response to their crisis.

My faith has been key in shaping how I relate to other people and the world around me. For many people, their identity as a Christian is an important part of who they are and is an incredible source of strength. I also recognize that sometimes there is hurt and abuse that has happened in spiritual settings that can cause tremendous pain and disillusionment. Our conversations will be a safe space for doubts, confusion, and questions. My approach in counselling involves incorporating your faith to the extent that you feel comfortable with.

I am a Christian counsellor born, raised and practicing in the Christian faith. The laws of Love taught in the Bible are as relevant today as they were when the Bible was written. Jesus left us with His example and a set of principles, to guide us through the trials that we face in our current lives. Although the form and conditions of our lives now have changed, this guidance helps us to navigate through the challenges of the current day. My practice of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) includes an openness to The Holy Spirit to guide our process. Sue Johnson's book "Created For Connection" shows how EFT can help couples repair their marital relationship in the context of Christianity.

I am a Bible-believing Evangelical Christian of 40 years. Yet, I welcome people of all faiths or no faith because I am neither a priest or minister, but a counsellor here to serve you. I openly identify myself as a Christian, because I believe it's fair for you to know my bias. Therefore, if I am working with a Christian client, I will join you in open prayer as you request. If I am working with a non-believer, I will engage you at YOUR level of meaning and purpose. My goal is to help you break free of whatever is holding you back.

My heart is one of love and compassion for the broken. I will help you meet the challenges of life in a way that will please and honor the Lord Jesus Christ and allow you to enjoy fully His love for you and His plans for your life.I believe His Word provides guidance, instruction and answers for faith and life in all of life struggles. Together we will pray, maybe shed tears but ultimately you will find that peace and joy He has for you.I am committed to bringing counselling, training and teaching that is consistently biblical and Christ-centered. My heart is to help you grow in your walk. Call today and lets start that walk together.

Besides being a registered clinical counsellor, Dan has attended a Bible College, is an ordained pastor and has pastored a church. He is also currently teaching part-time in a Christian College in Surrey, so he is well equipped to provide Christian-based counselling to those who wish to find healing for their problems from a purely Christian and spiritual perspective.

While most Christian Counselors pride themselves on how many Scriptural passages they can recite and how many links they can make from the Bible to psychological disorders, the Christian-centric work of Grey Matters International, Inc.is grounded in one principle: truth. For us, the work is more about truth and transparency of Christ's message and working on the natural laws of accountability and decision making that evolves from that. If one honors God's natural laws of reaping and sowing around the decisions one makes, one is indeed living Scripture to its fullest. We prepare the brain to better maximize the spiritual realities of Christ's words. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

As a practicing Christian and doctoral-level Registered Psychologist, I integrate psychotherapy with a Christian spiritual framework, if that is what the client desires. Many Christian clients seek me out for faith-affirming psychological assistance, finding it important to work with someone who shares and honours their spiritual value system. I am proud to locate my practice within a Christian group practice (one of very few in greater Vancouver) and work with Christians from a variety of denominational backgrounds.
