Christian Counseling?
As a general rule, both Christian counseling and secular counseling share the same desire to help people overcome their problems, find meaning and joy in life, and become healthy and well-adjusted individuals, both mentally and emotionally. Most counselors have graduate degrees and have spent years learning their craft.
The word “counseling” can have multiple meanings, including offering advice and encouragement, sharing wisdom and skills, setting goals, resolving conflict, etc. Counselors usually probe the past (whether the problem happened a week ago or during childhood) in an attempt to repair the present. A major part of counseling is resolving and restoring conflicts between people and within individuals.
“God-lovers make the best counselors. Their words possess wisdom and are right and trustworthy.” Psalm 37:30 (TPT)
Christian counseling is distinct from secular counseling in that Christian counseling rises to another dimension. Without solely relying on psychologically-integrated systems, Biblical counseling is used to carefully discover those areas in which a Christian may be disobedient to the principles and commands of Scripture and to help him [her] learn how to be obedient in their Faith and to heal to wholeness.
