Faith-based Counselling

Our faith-based counsellor is located in Wagga Wagga but can support clients across the Wagga Wagga Catholic Diocese virtually.  We currently offer individual, and couples (including pre-marriage) counselling to adults. Together, we’ll explore strategies and skills for coping, stress reduction, enhanced communication, strengthening relationships, and foster growth both individually and in your relationship. Sessions can be in-person, over the phone, or via video conferencing (dependent upon location).

What is Faith-Based Counselling?

Counselling is a supportive process where individuals and couples can confide in trained professionals who have a deep understanding of emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and relationships. It provides a safe space to navigate challenges, foster personal development, and enhance mental and emotional well-being.

Counselling takes a holistic approach to your mental health, and faith based counselling intentionally incorporates faith into the therapeutic journey. Faith based counselling is an additional pillar that is integrated into generalist counselling, where a faith based counsellor will place focus on your sense of self, relationships with others and how you are integrated into the world. Faith Based counselling places special interest in your Christian faith and how that informs your world view, values, and interactions.
