Our Commitment
We strive to follow Christ's example, and apply Biblical principles as we lead individuals, couples and families to find freedom in three main problem areas:
ACCEPT you without judgement,
UNDERSTAND the issues you are struggling with,
CARE for you, and
LEAD you in your heart to the Lord Jesus to
RESOLVE your issues through prayer.
The freedom Christ offers will result in your experiencing God's purpose, fulfillment, joy and peace in your relationship with Him and with others. (Gal. 5:1, John 10:10)
We depend upon the Holy Spirit to lead counsellors in assisting you to resolve each of your problems. The Holy Spirit must direct, convict and enable you in this process.
- Emotional Issues stemming from abuse or other emotionally damaging problems - these issues take healing. (Luke 4:18)
- Spiritual Problems including unresolved bitterness, pride, rebellion, temporal values, hypocrisy, moral failure, lying, stealing etc. - these issues take repentance and putting away. (I John 1:9)
- Spiritual Strongholds stemming from giving ground to the enemy through specific activities that allow the enemy to influence people. These may include, but are not limited to, involvement in the occult, rebellion, drugs, etc. - these issues take renouncing and forsaking. (Eph. 4:27, I Sam 15:23)

The Counselling Process
Coming in for counselling here at Caring for the Heart in Wingham, Ontario, generally means you will come in for four consecutive days, about 3 hours a day. During this time, you will identify and resolve issues and work to develop new patterns for facing challenges in the future. Homework is given each day as well, so we ask you to take this time away from all other commitments and focus on the counselling and related work.
Prior to booking your session, we ask all participants to complete some assessments including an ‘Emotional Pain Word’ sheet and a Personality Questionaire. The questionaire is completed on yourself and your spouse (if applicable). This assessment allows the counsellor to aid you in determining where your areas of concern may be and how these patterns of behaviour may have been established.
All participants are also required to view the DVD series by John Regier entitled Identifying and Resolving Spiritual Issues (available for purchase here on our website). An alternative would be to listen to the messages found on this website by Pastor Bob Bramhill. The foundational teaching found in these DVDs and messages will aid the counselling process
We look forward to being able to serve you in this capacity! Contact us at 226.422.3015 if we can be of assistance.
