What is Counselling Like?

This week’s radio show features part of the testimony of Nadrina Whatley, a volunteer with Elim Counselling Services. In studio with Michael Hart, she discusses some of the challenges she has faced in her life and her own personal journey with counselling.

As a young girl, Nadrina was diagnosed with depression and forced to attend counselling. After continuing therapy for some time, she chose to “deal” with her struggles on her own. Later, as an adult, Nadrina returned once again to the idea of therapy, but this time with a better understanding of the role that a counsellor plays. In learning how to make counselling useful, Nadrina was able to overcome depression and also save her marriage. ieCiPhBP_400x400
