Study Christian Counselling at PBC


Why Study Christian Counselling at PBC?

Because of the people.
Colleges don’t teach classes – people do.
Schools don’t supervise students – people do.
Training providers don’t nurture faith – people do.


Counselling Open Lecture [August 2023]

Based on the outcomes of his PhD research, Dr Shannon Hood facilitates a discussion about the appropriate use of spiritual and religious interventions (SRIs) such as prayer and the scriptures by professional counsellors.

He explores the evidence in support of using SRIs and gives guidance on when it is ethically appropriate to use them. To help the discussion, some helpful definitions are provided along with a list of SRIs that every Christian Counsellor should be competent with. All of this includes plenty of examples of how-to (and even how-not-to) use SRIs from real-life work with clients and supervises.

More open lectures and Professional Development sessions will be offered throughout the year.

“The thing I loved most about PBC was the environment. We have a Christian community on campus, support from the lecturer, lovely students and fellowship. It has encouraged me to feel part of the community.”
