Strengthening Counselling Centre (SCC) provides practical help for all difficult life issues through Christian counselling. Many in the world have come to believe that Christian counselling has a broad spectrum of meaning and practices based on one’s own interpretation of the Bible and the role it plays in meeting the needs of people. However, SCC believes true Christian counselling affirms that Scripture has only one meaning and is the sufficient and authoritative Word of God. Through Scripture, we have everything we need to live in a way that pleases God, including understanding and resolving the non-physical personal and inter-personal difficulties we face (2 Tim. 3:16).
The counselling at SCC is comprehensive in its approach to understanding people and their problems. While many follow the reductionist approach which reduces the person’s problems to one cause, such as the person’s circumstances, experiences, unmet needs, physical problems or their emotions, SCC takes a holistic approach to counselling which recognises the importance of the whole man in producing change, both in outward circumstances and the core aspect of the person. Scripture calls this core aspect the heart (Prov. 4:23). The heart is the control centre of a person’s life and consists of responses, observations, interpretations, conclusions, values, desires, beliefs, thoughts and emotions. This comprehensive approach is essential for understanding and helping every aspect of a person’s past, present and future difficulties.
