Christian Couples Therapy
Strengthen Your Relationship with Christian Couple Therapy
No partner gets married to get divorced, which makes staying together even more significant for Christians, including Catholic couples. Various Christian denominations regard marriage as holy, reflecting the union between God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Catholic couples view the sacrament of marriage as an institution that enables couples to become the best of their God-created selves and help each other towards their heavenly goal.
I offer a Christian perspective and in-depth faith-based counselling that can explore the spirit, soul and body as needed based on biblical principles and beliefs. It is a space to explore the couple’s fit and dynamics with a systemic and psychodynamic underpinning in the context of the Christian biblical faith and values, transferable to catholic couple’s marriages. Catholic couples can benefit from Christian couples counselling if it meets their needs. Otherwise, it may be vital to directly seek a specific Catholic couple counselling for specialist counselling to further explore specific catholic values and doctrines as desired or necessary.
At Another Hope Counselling and Psychotherapy Service, acceptance and compassion are rooted in experiential knowledge as a Christian Couple counsellor and therapist. I work closely to help you strengthen your relationship with your partner and deepen your commitment and faith. I understand the incorporation of Christian Biblical principles and beliefs into the therapeutic process, where this is important to you.
As needed, we would use related biblical references to deepen our discussion. It supports insight into the meaning, considerations, and making sense of your views of yourself, your partner, and marriage narratives. I provide a warm and welcoming space to share your thoughts, feelings and worries. I offer counselling in Leeds and Greater Manchester, West Midland, Yorkshire and the Humber.
I integrate psychological approaches, including systemic, Psychodynamic and other relational models tailored to your relationships, alongside the teachings and principles of biblical Christian values established for the Christian Marital union. For many who seek Christian relationships and marriages, including Catholic couples, a stable and healthy marriage is built on the foundation of love, respect, and communication. I adapt my work to each couple and strive to encourage couples to work together to improve the essential skills that sustain these values together and build a resilience bond.
