AS SIMPLE AS IT SOUNDS, WE JUST BELIEVE IN DOING OUR BEST.
Shalom Counselling Services is dedicated to providing inclusive and accessible counselling services, with the aim of supporting individuals on their journey towards peace and wholeness. Our mission is to deliver therapeutic counselling, consultation, and educational programs that integrate emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions. We are committed to fostering healing, growth, and well-being for individuals, couples, families, groups, churches, and communities.
The name "Shalom" was chosen by our founders, representing the Hebrew word for peace and human well-being, experienced in all dimensions of life. Our perspective is to serve the mental and emotional health needs of people in our communities, respecting and honouring the diversity of persons, backgrounds, and beliefs within our community. We strive to be sensitive and understanding of the importance of faith or the spiritual component of people's lives.
Our services are provided by Masters or Doctoral level trained and accredited counsellors, who are Christian professionals. Our counsellors are receptive to conversations of faith and spirituality when initiated by the client in the counselling process. We are committed to providing accessible and affordable counselling services, ensuring that services are available to those unable to pay. Services will be provided as scope of practice and programs exist in response to presenting concerns, honouring each person's unique life and faith experience and spirituality.
Our work is governed by a volunteer, elected Board of Directors consisting of a minimum of ten directors. The Board provides strategic leadership, ensuring alignment with Shalom's mission and vision.
