Christian Counselling in Regina

For many Christians, faith is not just one part of life. It shapes how you understand yourself, your relationships, suffering, forgiveness, responsibility, hope, and the decisions you make.

When you’re struggling, it can be difficult to feel as though you have to leave that part of yourself outside the counselling room.

I am a Christian counsellor, and when faith is important to you, it can naturally be included in counselling.

I will not pressure you to forgive someone, reconcile a relationship, stay in a relationship, or make a particular decision because of your faith.

Here there is room to explore forgiveness, boundaries, anger, grief, responsibility, reconciliation, or questions about God without deciding ahead of time what the answer is supposed to be.

Your faith, questions, doubts, and experiences are yours. Counselling is a place where we can explore them honestly and with care.

Sometimes what we are going through isn’t easy to separate into “spiritual” and “emotional.”

You may love God and still feel deeply hurt.

You may want to honor someone while also recognizing that a relationship is hurting you.

You may know what Scripture says about fear and still experience anxiety.

You may have prayed about something for years and wonder why it still hurts.

None of these experiences mean that your faith isn’t strong enough.

Sometimes there are wounds, losses, and experiences that need a place where they can be talked about honestly and understood.

For Christians who have experienced difficult family relationships, emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, or estrangement, questions about forgiveness and boundaries can become especially complicated.

Does forgiveness mean reconciliation?

Is setting a boundary unloving?

Am I supposed to keep turning the other cheek?

What if someone continues to hurt me but expects me to forgive and move on?

How do I honour someone without continuing to accept harmful behaviour?

These can be difficult questions, especially when your faith matters deeply to you.

Counselling can give you room to look honestly at what has happened, what you believe, what belongs to you, and what doesn’t.

Sometimes faith itself becomes connected to hurt.

Scripture may have been used to silence you, pressure you to reconcile, minimize what happened, demand forgiveness without accountability, or convince you that protecting yourself was selfish or unchristian.

Experiences like these can leave you questioning other people, your own judgment, or even your understanding of God.

There is room for those questions here.

You don’t have to minimize what happened in order to protect your faith.

I support adults who are dealing with the lasting effects of difficult relationships and experiences, including complex trauma, childhood emotional neglect, emotionally immature parents, narcissistic abuse, family scapegoating, and estrangement.

Depending on what you are experiencing, counselling may include EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, attachment-focused approaches, and emotional regulation strategies.

Christian counselling doesn’t mean replacing evidence-informed therapy with spiritual advice. It means that when your faith is important to you, it doesn’t have to be left out of the conversation.

We might talk about your relationship with God, beliefs that are affecting how you see yourself or your situation, 

Scripture that feels important to you, or spiritual questions that have come from what you’ve experienced.

Faith can be part of the conversation without every struggle being turned into a spiritual problem.

You don’t need to come into counselling with strong faith, the right answers, or certainty about what you believe.

You may be angry, hurt, grieving, feel distant from God, or trying to understand why something happened.

There is room for all of that.

I provide online counselling for adults in Regina and throughout Saskatchewan.

If your Christian faith is important to you, it can be included in counselling in a way that feels natural and relevant to what you are going through. 

If you would rather not bring faith into a particular conversation, that’s okay too.

You decide how much of a role faith has in your counselling.

If you are looking for counselling where your faith can be part of the conversation, I invite you to reach out. We can talk about what you are experiencing and whether my approach is a good fit for you.
