How Does Biblical Christian Therapy Work?
Christian counselling is not a niche our brand is trying to reach. Help for Families Canada was birthed out of the calling. Our mission, vision, values, operations, and interventions are grounded in the principles of Christian ministry.
- The Spirit of God is acknowledged and depended upon as the ultimate source of healing
- The scripture – the Word of God is given pre–eminence over psychology texts, popular theories, and ideas proposed by prominent psychologists about behavior and how it heals. It is biblical counseling.
- Prayer is encouraged in and out of sessions
- We frequently reflect on the question: “what does the word say?”
- Be your uncensored self in a Compassionate, non-judgemental atmosphere. We all are imperfect and living by grace. Your faith will not be used as a weapon to shame you or beat you down. I desire to be my brothers’/sisters’ keeper.

God’s Parenting System (GPS)
A Unique Christian Counselling Child-Rearing Program
God instructed parents to “Train up your child in the way he should go” (Proverbs 22:6). God does this because your child was created with a good and unique plan (Jeremiah 29:11).
But, though parenting is very challenging, God did not leave you comfortless. Mothers and fathers, there is a grace that is sufficient for you. The grace is accessed when you are leading your child “In The Way”. Your parenting style is empowered when submitted to God.
How We Get Lost in Parenting
The way is:
- not your way
- not your child’s way or their desires
- not in the way like how your neighbours and friends parent
- not in the way you were parented.
The way is foreknown (Jeremiah 1:5) and already prepared, and ordered (Psalm 27:33) according to those plans (Jeremiah 29:11) that God purposed for your unique child.
Christian Therapists- We Help You Find “The Way”
The G.P.S. is the God inspired wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that directs your parenting path. It is a road map for parenting your unique child which is customized for you, as a unique parent, so that you are empowered and equipped to walk the journey successfully.
I would be honoured if you’ll allow me to be your parenting coach. Trust me to be the voice guiding you as I hold your hand walking alongside you on your journey of parenting. In our work together you will receive compassionate, step by step training so that your parent-child relationship is transformed from stressed and combative to peaceful and co-operative.
