Profile details

Profile
I am a country boy at heart, living the majority of my life in the highlands of Scotland. Coming from this culture is an asset for counselling, as it has caused me to be friendly, welcoming and ready to listen. My counselling approach is dependant  firstly on an accountability to God, the knowledge Jesus Christ is Lord, a biblical understanding of personhood  which gives a high view of humanity. The bible Scripture calls us to be all things to all people that we may win some, the same principal is relative for Christian Counselling. People are people, made in the image of God, and relating with any person requires an element of dignity and respect for the other, as demonstrated by Jesus Christ in the new testament gospels.

I utilise the CWR christian counselling model which recognises the complexity of who we are, as well as our relationship with God and others. I believe prayer is also key to any counselling, but only approach prayer if the client is comfortable with praying.

Training, qualifications and experience
My counselling approach is earthed in the training of past years.Firstly I trained at the Faith Mission Bible College in Edinburgh, where the bible, a relationship with Jesus Christ, personal development/holiness and practical evangelism are core. From 2004-2007 I studied theology and Counselling at London School of Theology to degree level, a course which is ran in conjunction with CWR.

In my spare time , Christian Counselling development is a key pursuit of mine, as the development officer for Watford Christian Counselling Services, as well as other christian counselling development programmes, i set myself.
