Spiritual Guidance
Our pastoral counsellors offer spiritual guidance and support, helping individuals deepen their faith and connection with God as they navigate life's challenges through ancient wisdom.
Our Approach
Our therapeutic approach is a blend of both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and the Twelve Step Program – having individuals identify their problems, helping them come up with ways to control and alter their dysfunctional thoughts, and enabling them to maintain this positive change. Both approaches work by changing people's attitudes and their behaviour by focusing on the thoughts, images, beliefs, and attitudes that influence their behaviour and lead them to self-destructive actions. The two approaches within CBT that really resonate with Twelve-Step recovery are the behavioural and the cognitive. CBT is a clinical, evidence-based therapeutic method, while the 12-Step program is a self-help and peer support approach. CBT does not rely on a spiritual component or the concept of a higher power, making it a more secular approach, whereas the 12-Step program incorporates spirituality as a core element.
