Q. and A. re Christian Therapy, Counselling and Psychotherapy
1. Is Christian Counseling/Therapy Right for Me?
If you are interested in treatment for a mental health issue, and you’d appreciate speaking with someone who has a Biblical perspective, is clinically trained to use best practices to help you toward mental, emotional and spiritual wholeness then Christian counselling might be right for you.
You don’t necessarily need to share the same faith, but you do want to work with someone with a godly perspective, who knows Biblical truth and loves Jesus and is willing to listen to you. You prefer that over working with someone who describes themselves as an atheist.
2. Is Christian Counselling/Therapy/Psychotherapy Really Effective?
Yes. Christian counselors have the same education and experience as other mental health professionals, their treatment is equally effective, plus they acknowledge the place of God in healing our lives.
3. How much does Christian Counselling Sessions with George Cost?

4. Do you deal with trauma and PTSD? (Christian stress and trauma processing)
I recently completed training as an EMDR therapist so as to include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to my practice of Christian therapy. I observed that there is good synergy between my Listening Prayer Therapy approach and EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is highly acclaimed in dealing with PTSD.

Testimonies from my Mission to Scotland
I visited Scotland to teach and minister. Here is the feedback.
Testimonies about Listening Prayer Therapy from teaching mission to Scotland - land of the free.The tools of my Listening Prayer Therapy provide breakthroughs to emotional freedom and lead to Life Transformation - the gaining of a one's identity in Christ. The following testimonies are used with permission.
George has brought to life in me the freedom I experienced at salvation, but have lost over the years - freedom to be me, to dare to trust God, to feature (be a partner) in this relationship with God prominently, to experience heaven here. I have experienced an awakening and a realization that we are always being reborn. Its not a one of. Hallelujah!

I am grateful for learning a practical, tangible way of getting in touch with God and hearing from Him. God does speak and does change your life.
Claire, Saltcoats, Scotland.
Discovering how to get God's Word from your head to your heart, in a few easy steps of praying and listening to God, was great. And is something I will do with any other experience that keeps me bound.
Jesus is the key, but, now, I have been shown how to use it; and open the door to my life, which I had kept well locked up under lock and key.
Thanks,
Katie :-) Stevenston, Scotland

George's visit has resulted in a breakthrough in who I am in Christ and where I am heading. The classes have been very beneficial and I would recommend it to anyone. May the Lord keep working in and with George. God bless,
Matthew, Saltcoats, Scotland.
Meeting George, and experiencing his Listening Prayer Therapy, has brought healing and balance to my inner life, my relationship with Jesus and my perception of who I am.
Your healing ministry has touched us all and many lives will never be the same. I can only say "Thank you Lord, and come back soon, George."
