Sometimes, Christians may wish to seek support from a psychologist who is also of the same faith. Kara is a Christian who is actively involved in her local church, and has a heart to minister to individuals and families who wish to see someone who understands the importance of God in their lives.

As Christians, we know that whilst we experience God’s redeeming grace and love, we are still living in a broken world. We are not immune to difficult life circumstances, troubled family histories and relationships, or mental health difficulties.

It is important to note that whilst a shared understanding of faith may be helpful, in many cases, the nature of therapy may not differ from that provided to a non-Christian. This is because certain therapies have been proven to be effective for certain mental health conditions regardless of faith, gender, or age.

At Alongside Psychology, we are committed to providing the same high standard of psychological services for all individuals, regardless of faith or beliefs.
