Building a strong Faith Based Counselling connection to comfortably navigate barriers between you and God.
Whether you're facing mental health issues, obstacles of faith, or simply feeling disconnected from God, as a fellow believer and theologian, I am here to help you fully discover your Joyspring from a Christian perspective. John 4:4
You may have arrived here because…….
You struggle with feelings like; shame, guilt, depression, anxiety or anger at God or yourself that keeps you trapped.
You do not know who you really are.
You hear how much God or others love you, but you feel unworthy, undeserving to receive this love.
You struggle with a mental illness that feels like you will never recover.
You were brought up in the church, but not sure about Christianity anymore.
However you arrived here, I am so glad you are here. Read on to see if my counselling from a Christian perspective might help you.
You find it hard to shut off self doubt and condemnation that floods your relationships.
You’re perpetually anxious from trying to be perfect.
You enjoy helping others, but find it difficult to help yourself.
You find it difficult to talk about your trapped feelings and sometimes do not even know what these feeling are.
Those nagging questions about spirituality make you not want to be a Christian anymore.
You protect yourself by seeking to be the perfect “Christian” making it harder to heal.
How can you become a New Creation in Christ?
2 Corinthians 5:17
In a non-judgmental space you can share your stories so we can discover the real you, the way God intended.
We can work towards inner healing from past wounds by examining your emotions, protective responses, beliefs, and barriers together.
We can investigate changing the negative ways of thinking so that you can have more Joy in your life.
We can explore difficult questions together by giving you Christian resources or learning from others who have gone before us.
You can allow me to imagine your life from a place of secure connection, until you are able to let go and let God in.
We can change your perspectives together; from fear to faith, trapped to freedom or abandonment to belonging.
