Faith-Based Counselling

“You do not need to know precisely what is happening or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”

-Thomas Merton-

My goal is to welcome all to engage in the process of growth and healing through the evidence-based therapy offered at Caritas Counselling. My hope is that all people will encounter a place of peace when they come to counselling at Caritas Counselling. Whether or not they know God or practice any sort of faith, my prayer is that something within each person will be able to recognize the space as sacred; a space in which it is safe to open up to share stories, fears, anxieties and traumas and begin to find new hope and healing.

Sometimes though, individuals are seeking something more. 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.
