The Process of Therapy
What is Therapy / Counselling?
Therapy is essentially entering into relationship with a person skilled in recognizing and confronting maladaptive behaviours and patterns. The client usually enters therapy because their life is being affected by thoughts, behaviours and emotions that are interfering with life functioning.
The therapist agrees to accompany the client on a journey of discovery about themselves and their way of being in the world. The purpose is to enhance self-awareness, encourage self-growth, heal wounding from the past, improve interpersonal relationships, move through life transitions, foster spiritual growth and mental health.
What is Pastoral Counselling?
Pastoral Counselling is a holistic approach to those seeking to use their faith perspective and expression of spirituality in the Counselling process. Pastoral Counselling takes into account the whole person - body, mind, spirit and emotions. As well there is a de-emphasis on pathology and a companioning by the therapist that is supportive of the clients' humanity and their soul's calling.
