Christian Counselling St Thomas, ON. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

I was born and raised in England for the first eight years of my life. My parents were a great Christian couple who had both been lifelong Sunday school teachers - they met that way! Now I have been a therapist for last 40 or so years, I can still hear particularly my mother’s words of balance, perspective and a healing spiritually based approach as to what to do next as I work with couples, individuals, adults and teenagers. Please feel free to contact me to see whether I have the approach you are looking for.

As a Christian, I greatly appreciate how faith and spirituality play a role in our daily lives. Yet God still calls us to be in the world and to experience many different aspects of human life, even things we think God could fix. Making sense of the differences between what we believe God wants and what we face daily can be distressing and lead to despair and depression. Talking about these losses with someone with a similar faith can be vital as we navigate these challenges. If you want to speak to someone with a similar faith to your own or someone who understands the spiritual journey, I would be glad to be your therapist.

I am a Christian, born and raised Catholic. I believe that spirituality and eternal life are more connected to who we are and how we practise God-centred living than which church we attend. Spirituality is may central to your life, and it's something we will bring into the therapy room as a source of guidance, support and insight into the issues you are dealing with.

It is a particular passion of mine to work with clients who would like to bring their faith and their spirituality into counselling. I believe that integrating solid, evidence-based counselling with the healing power of God through the use of Prayer, Scripture and simply the explicit welcoming of God into our conversation, brings the potential of great healing and hope for individuals. It is always the choice of the particular individual/client, whether or not and to what degree they would like to integrate their faith and spirituality explicitly into the counselling process. It is my pleasure to integrate the elements that you feel comfortable with and which are important to you, into therapy.

While I don't use the Bible explicitly, I am well-versed in Biblical teachings and primarily regard it as humane-humanitarian wisdom literature that fosters profound care and respect for one another. All of my learning and approach methods (as discussed in the other site-fields) are compatible with Biblical teaching where positive mental health and relationship well-being are concerned. My primary professional 'job' is healing the hurts that prevent us from fulfilling our purposes in Life. Many of my clients identify Christian.

When counselling, I consider the whole person (e.g., the individual’s mental, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and vocational condition) and align my counselling intervention with Christian principles and perspectives. My counselling approach is eclectic, but primarily involves client-centred, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques. In addition to counseling, I provide leadership support to church leaders. I help board members, pastors, and other church leaders deal with clinical and human resource problems that are beyond their level of expertise. I provide consultations, coaching and mentorship to help the leaders perform well personally and professionally.

Are yoin the midst of a troubling life event like the death of a loved one or pet, the loss of a job, declining health, financial problems, and/or relationship issues? Being reminded that having a strong and resilient faith can be a very supportive and powerful intervention. The ultimate goals of therapy will be to identify behaviors that are inconsistent with having a strong faith in God, so you can become more accepting of God’s plan for you. I believe there is purpose in your pain. God gives you only what you can handle. With support I will help you learn how to accept what you have been given and figure out what are you going to do? Learn to Let Go & Let God. Live with Faith!

Jesus Christ is the center of my life, Eph. 1:17- 19 is the focus of my practice and prayer is the foundation for both. I am a mature, professionally trained (10 yrs. full time university) therapist with a heart to see healing. My training and experience is in both psychology (understanding the mind and emotion) and theology (one's spirit and relationship with God). I work with clergy and their families and am on Focus on the Family Pastoral Counselling and referral list and Families Canada referral list.

I do not offer Christian Counselling in particular. However, I can facilitate your taking a good look at: How do you use your religion/spirituality to help enhance the quality of your life? Is your faith in G'd fading because you do not feel heard? Are you seeking peace of mind through the belief in the Creator? Have you lost your sense of meaning in this world? Using Jewish, Biblical and and non-denominational principles of practice, stories, rituals and theory, Adela can guide you into processing some of the questions you have been mulling in your head for a long time.
