The Biblical Counselling model reflects Scriptural, Christ-like, humble care, coming alongside as an equal, with care shaped by the compassionate wisdom, love, and truth Scripture teaches, addressing the struggles of sin and suffering in this world and relying on Scriptural guidance by the Spirit of God to care for the hearts of the sufferer, past or present. We are created by a relational God who spiritually cares, strengthens, and restores hope through Jesus Christ. We are embodied souls, diverse and unique. Biblical Counselling offers a compassionate place to address issues that have overcome us. We have a God-given purpose, and when circumstances from the past impact the present, Counselling provides an opportunity to safely consider God’s help in these challenges within a supportive, caring environment.
I have benefited from studying the rich body of research, theories, and interventions in the field of mental health and using a scriptural lens to assess the skills and research that offer helpful insights. Counselling is the care of the embodied soul. Scripture tells us that each person is precious to God, created in God's image, and offered the gospel for a restored relationship with God. We continue to grow in our knowledge of God as we walk through the struggles of addiction, depression, anxiety, loss, and broken relationships with God.
In Counselling, we humbly come alongside others for a period of time, taking the time to understand the emotional, mental, and physical struggles in a person’s life. We offer biblical restoration, revival, strengthening, comfort, correction, and support in their comfort and growth through God’s grace.

Biblical Counsellors have training in skills:

Knowledge and understanding of modern mental health theory, historical pastoral care, and theological studies. Ongoing continuing education and supervision.

Scripture is a rich text regarding life, suffering, sin, fears, problems, and solutions, it is also a place of comfort in the midst of the struggles and suffering. Counselling helps us slow down to understand how we grow and change and live in the peace offered to us through Christ Jesus. Here are a few.

Jeremiah 17:7,8 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” ESB

In 2 Cor 4, Paul sums up this Hope in hardship and closes chapter 4 with this, "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." NIV

Psalm 23 describes our relationship with our God in lives struggles. I'd encourage you to look up that bible passage and pray, asking God to help you see what his wisdom and truth is in this passage before you read it.

These are the foundational biblical principles we stand on: Jesus Christ is central to God's transformational love, God is our creator and gives us our value, we are each loved by our Creator and it is He that provides our immense value, identity, and gives us Scripture to guide us.

You are loved by God.

The ground at the cross of Christ is flat, all are welcome to know His peace. He is the Saviour and our real hope in healing our wounded souls.
