Approach, Philosophy & Qualifications

Christian Counselling

I have been practising as a counsellor for the past 17 years, seeking to create sustainable change for all of my clients. Throughout the counselling journey I walk alongside my clients offering them my presence, support and understanding. I also provide effective and useful strategies to help them overcome the challenges they face.

Prior to becoming a counsellor, my wife and I were Christian missionaries for 13 years. During this time I worked extensively with young people and families.
