Robyn Bowman - 'Christian Counsellor'

Christian Counsellor - Kings Langley and the Hills

Are you looking for a ‘Christian Counsellor’?

My Christian worldview informs my counselling. In other words, as a ‘Christian Counsellor’, I understand how your Christian faith underpins everything in your life and has a fundamental connection to your mental health.

If you are not a Christian, your religious or spiritual values still impact everything you do, think and feel. Your faith or beliefs are essential to who you are, no matter what they may be. (See FAQs below)

However, this is not “Biblical Counselling” or “Spiritual Counselling”. In other words, this counselling does not involve bible reading or prayer. Bible verses are not often referred to in counselling. This is the role of a pastor or spiritual advisor and I can recommend some of these professionals to you if you need.

Robyn’s counselling is consistent with the Christian Counsellors Association Australia and the Psychotherapist and Counsellor Federation of Australia Ethical Standards, which include guidelines for counselling along religious lines.
