Can counselling include faith or spirituality?

Yes, if that is something that matters to you.

For some people, faith, spirituality, and personal values are an important part of how they understand themselves, cope with difficulty, and make sense of life. For others, they may not want these aspects included in counselling at all.

Counselling should not assume either approach.

If you would like your faith, spirituality, or personal values to be acknowledged as part of the work, that can be explored respectfully and thoughtfully. If you would prefer a more general therapeutic space without that focus, that is equally valid.

The counselling process should remain collaborative and guided by what feels appropriate and helpful for you.
