Spiritual Direction

Responsive image

Spiritual Direction is a wonderful relationship with another as you deepen your awareness and intimacy with God. It is a time to explore your knowing and being known by divine love within a context of safety and freedom. Focusing on God’s sovereignty and grace opens a space where one can grow in our imago dei created beauty. It is a time to be honest and able to explore the dark emptiness as well. Sometimes this will mean acknowledging spiritual abuse and trauma (RTS), transitions, grief, or PTSD www.acsd.org.nz.

Debriefing

Debriefing is a process whereby you intentionally process the past,and as a result of this, be strengthened for the journey ahead. We are pleased to come under the Pringa umbrella in this work. Please refer to Piringa Trust for more details. www.piringa.org.nz.

Counselling

Responsive image

Counselling is a therapeutic process where individuals are guided by trained professionals to explore personal challenges, unwanted or compulsive behaviours, emotional difficulties, or mental health concerns in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential setting. It offers a space for people to talk openly about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences—something they may not feel comfortable doing elsewhere. Whether someone is dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions (whether as the person with the addiction or the partner of the person with the addiction), grief, relationship issues, trauma, or major life transitions, counselling provides support and tools to navigate those experiences with greater clarity and resilience. The goal is not only to address immediate issues but also to foster personal growth, enhance self-awareness, and promote healthier coping mechanisms.
