Faith in counselling FIC25

Many societies today honour the role that faith plays in our lives. People are however not sure how to draw on faith experiences and our relationship with God to use it in a practical way when helping people. Furthermore, many practices that people assume to be helpful can have a detrimental effect. Working with faith in helping relationships are influenced by many ways that people think about and practice their faith. We need to find respectful unassuming ways to work with faith that honours peoples' beliefs without putting them in boxes or to expect of them to believe in the way that we do as practitioners (counsellors, leaders, or anyone who is a believer).
