PAST CLIENT SENTIMENTS

Q: What is Christian Integrative Counselling?

As a Christian myself, I value the vital part that faith plays in our everyday decisions and in our healing journey. Christian Integrative Counselling, still uses empirically studied modalities of therapy, including CBT, DBT, ACT and IFS but is carefully selected at different stages of your wellness journey to ensure that the therapy is God focussed and aligns with your Christian beliefs and values.

It's so nice to be able to talk freely and openly about faith matters and how they affect my healing journey.

Being able to talk about faith and god and include jesus in the healing process has been life changing

my spiritual walk has deepened as a result of uncovering some blind spots from my past that kept coming up over and over again

i've experienced real breakthrough by including god's word and prayer back into my wellness journey.

including god in my therapy journey has created a greater sense of truth and peace in my life.

in previous therapy sessions i felt like i was having to explain the importance OF my faith every session which was draining.

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's what we usually get asked

What is Christian Integrative Counselling?

LifeHouse Counselling starts from a shared Christian foundation, then uses professional counselling methods from there. As a Christian myself, I value the vital role your faith plays in your everyday decisions and in your life journey. Christian Integrative Counselling, still uses empirically studied modalities of therapy, including CBT, DBT, ACT and IFS but is carefully selected at different stages of your wellness journey to ensure that the therapy is God focused and aligns with your Christian beliefs and values.

Do I Have to be a Christian to Receive Counselling from LifeHouse?

NO, we accept all humans, from all walks of life. If you are just looking for compassionate general counselling, then we offer that as well.

Do You Do Family and Couple's Counselling?

No, we have options for referral if this is what you are needing.

How Long Does Therapy Last?

With your consent, goals and a counselling plan will be created based on your specific needs. You are in control of your wellness journey and have the right to more or less sessions, as therapy progresses and goals are met. Just like anything in life, you'll only get out what you put in, so regular feedback will be elicited during sessions to see how you are going and what is/isn't working for you.

Do We Have to Pray During Sessions?

Sessions will always be focused on your needs first and CAN include as much or as little prayer time as you choose. How you would like to pray or when, is always set by you and prayer will only ever be offered with your verbal consent.

Does this replace church or pastoral care?

No. This is professional counselling. It seeks to help you deepen your faith but is not pastoral care. Integrative Christian Counselling, will help you integrate your faith into your mental and emotional wellness journey and does not seek to replace your church, your pastoral care team, or your church affiliations.

Can I use my Medicare Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) rebate?

In Australia, MHCP rebates are currently only allowed to be used when visiting a registered psychologist. I'm a qualified counsellor (Lvl 1 ACA recognition). Sessions are paid at the time of booking online. For those needing to use a direct deposit option, bank details can be provided and fees must be paid at least 48 hours prior to the session. I also offer concession rates for those with a valid Australian concession or pension card to help out with the cost of counselling.

What if I’m still not sure?

That's why I offer a free 30min chat. No stress. No obligations. This ensures that I am a good fit for your counselling needs. To book this chat, click the survey, fill out some details and we'll go from there.

Emotional & Mental Wellness Starts Here

Step 1

During your first 2 sessions, we will talk about your spiritual, emotional, physical and mental health journey and the path you are currently on. We may talk about some additional background information and complete some diagnostic surveys to help inform where you are currently at and where you'd like to be, based on your individual journey.

Step 2

During subsequent sessions, we will talk about your goals, your hopes and what you want to get out of counselling. From this, we will create a plan for moving forward towards emotional, relational and mental wellness. This plan is not set in stone and can change and be flexible, just as life changes around you.

Step 3

Sometimes, the most difficult paths can lead to the most beautiful destinations... BUT... Nothing can begin until you take the first brave step. Click the button above to book your free 30min needs analysis chat to see how LifeHouse Counselling can walk with you on this journey we call life.

MEET THE FOUNDEr and counsellor

Hi I'm Lisa,

and I started LifeHouse Counselling and Wellness to help all of my clients have a choice and a voice during therapy sessions. I want my clients to feel heard and understood. One of the common themes I kept hearing from my Christian clients was that how during secular therapy they had spent most of their time having to explain the fundamentals of their beliefs, as well as how and why their faith was important to them. They described frustration and even feelings of being unheard and misunderstood. Sadly, this led to many people walking away disheartened and disconnected from the vital emotional support they needed, believing that therapy was just not for them.

At LifeHouse Counselling, we wanted to change that for our Christian clients by introducing Christian Integrative Therapy into our model of care. In fact, now the number one feedback from my Christian clients, is just how valuable counselling becomes when they are able to connect their everyday faith and spiritual journeys, to their emotional, relational and mental health journey. That's how LifeHouse Counselling and Wellness was born, out of a need to support and care for all Christian clients, no matter their denomination, and to give real options to those clients wanting to choose a Christian Integrative Approach to therapy.
