Christian Counselling Dorchester, 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.

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.

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in emotionally focused therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals. Emotionally focused therapy closely parallels the Christian faith in how it understands human personhood and connection. I am trained through a biblical lens and comfortable including faith in the work we will do. During our sessions I take an engaged and active role in the process, focused on helping you to identify the areas where you may be stuck and working with you to make changes aligned with your goals and faith.

For many Christians it can be beneficial to their success in therapy to have a therapist that holds an understanding and respect for their religious and spiritual beliefs. While I do not offer Christian counseling services, at our clinic Psychotherapy Collective, one of our therapists Sarah works with Christian clients to combine evidence based psychotherapeutic techniques with piety, humility, forgiveness, faith development, spiritual development, and community.

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.

I hold a Masters of Divinity in Clinical Counselling from Tyndale University. I also spent over 20 years involved in various Christian Leadership roles. I do not practice or hold to this religion any longer. In my clinical work, I work with clients who are processing spiritual abuse/trauma and I regularly work with clients who are navigating deconstruction. I believe it is important to clarify, I am affirming and fully accepting of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I consider myself an ally to this community. In my clinical work, I consider it an honour to work with members of this community who have been wounded by the Christian Church.

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.

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.

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.
