Foundations in pastoral care (Northern Ireland)
We are delighted to be partnering with Christian Guidelines to bring our pastoral care training to Northern Ireland, and help equip those in the ministry of pastoral care in churches and communities.
Integrating Christian faith and counselling/psychotherapy
Research shows that for some clients, the integration of their faith in therapy is important to them. Over the years, there has been resistance by some within the counselling profession to any notion of the concept of integrating Christian faith/religion/spirituality with the practice of counselling/psychotherapy. Whilst in recent times, it appears the profession has become more open to this, nevertheless, many practitioners in the counselling world remain uncomfortable and/or unsure as to how to address issues of Christian faith/religion/spirituality in clinical practice. The avoidance and/or discomfort can be due to a lack of knowledge and understanding and this programme therefore aims to provide attendees with a firm foundation and framework as to how to ethically, professionally, and competently integrate Christian faith/religion/spirituality into their personal philosophy and practice of counselling/psychotherapy.
