Everything You Need to Know Before You Begin Counselling

What inspired the creation of Perfect Place to Grow Christian Counselling?

This counselling practice was born from a passion to help people experience emotional and spiritual renewal through faith. Pauline combined her background in psychology, theology, and education to create a space where clients can heal with both professional care and biblical wisdom.

How does faith play a role in the counselling process?

Faith is central to healing. We invite God’s presence into each session, using scripture, reflection, and prayer to help clients find peace, clarity, and purpose in their journey.

Who do you typically work with?

We work with adults, couples, and families from all backgrounds — including those navigating grief, anxiety, life transitions, or spiritual struggles. You don’t need to be Christian to receive counselling; we welcome anyone seeking compassionate support.

Expect a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space where your story matters. Pauline listens with empathy and offers practical tools to help you grow emotionally and spiritually — empowering you to move forward in strength and faith.

Do you provide follow-up or ongoing support?

Yes. We believe healing is a journey, not a moment. We offer continuous support and follow-up sessions to help you maintain emotional balance, spiritual focus, and personal growth over time.
