We will engage with any client's religious or spiritual persuasion, including a Christian perspective. The Counsellors are trained to incorporate the individual's or couples' belief systems as they establish a treatment plan for them.

I am a practicing Christian myself. So there is nothing in my approach that I would do that would be against my Christian faith. It is not my intention to change my client's religiion or lack of religion. Be comfortable with the fact that your beliefs and values will be respected like any human being. Disclosing my own personal sense of spiritual fulfillment as a Christian might strike as a great example that is so real...

Biblically informed Christian counselling plants itself firmly in God’s Word, accepting its pronouncements, its wisdom, and its counsel, and it remains open to all the knowledge and resources God has placed at the disposal of his people for self-care and the repair of psychospiritual, physical, social, and ecological systems. CCO's counsellors strive to offer a quality of aid that is congruent not only with the integrity, love, sensitivity and carefulness seen in the bible, but also with the best of professional standards.

When considering Christian Counselling, I think of the following principals: 1. Christian Counselling is offered by counsellors or therapists who are Christians, and who bring an understanding of the Christian faith to the counseling sessions, 2. While many of the issues people bring to counselling are not explicitly religious in nature, there is a dynamic, implicit directionality in the overall Christian Counselling process, 3. Christian counselling draws upon knowledge from many fields including psychology, and views all health and restorative processes and wholesome outcomes, and 4. What makes counselling Christian, is not that the process is essentially different from other r....

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.

The latest psychological research shows that spiritual pratices and beliefs are a very potent source for overcoming and coping with the harsh realities of life. At Elim our counsellors, in addition to being Christians, are specially trained in understanding the interplay between the spiritual and the problems that people face. For example a Christian client who is dealing with a divorce may also be dealing with the questions of why did God allow it to happen and may also be wrestling with identity issues as a divorced person in his/her faith group. These kind of issues require trained Christian therapists who understands spiritual beliefs and who are aware of the Christian culture.

Many people who hold a belief in a higher power find themselves at some point in their life struggling with doubts about their beliefs. Through the process of verbalizing these faith-based doubts, our experience is normalized and we can gain acceptance of our position today. From this acceptance comes possibilities for opening up to new understandings. Additionally, the ability to call upon the belief of something or someone greater than ourselves can offer us immeasurable strength to proactively take care of life's numerous challenges, eventually allowing us to relinquish the outcome to this higher power.
