Addictions

Addiction is present in all cultures and throughout the ages.  Addictions can involve substances (e.g. alcohol/heroin), food (e.g. obesity, anorexia, bulimia), money (gambling) or sexuality (e.g. pornography). Recovery from substance abuse will involve detox, counselling and ultimately, choices. You can download a Bible study on "victory" which will help with the "choices" part of recovery-refer to pages 19-30. For the Biblical counselling part you can contact Wayne (02)4758778 to arrange an appointment (Central Blue Mountains of NSW, only).

Anxiety

Anxiety is experienced by all people at some time; it is a normal mechanism whereby we are 'keyed up' for performance. However, if it occurs to excess, it can cause panic or immobilise a person in which case it is abnormal and harmful. 'Concern' might be a word that describes normal levels of anxiety; it is accepted by the Bible (e.g. 2 Corinthains 11:28) and might be considered an aspect of responsibility. 'Worry' describes unhelpful levels of anxiety and can be overcome by confident faith in God's goodness to us (Read Philippians 4:6-7). This is however, a growth process and Biblical counselling may be needed to achieve 'confident faith'. Greater levels of anxiety may be due to medical issues and need medical consultation. e.g. Hyperthyroidism. For Biblical counselling you can phone Wayne on (02)47588778 to arrange an appointment (Central Blue Mountains of NSW, only). You can down load the "Victory" Bible study which will help with confidence in God's care of you-refer to pages 6-9. Or our Bible Study Soaring dealing with anxiety, anger and despair

Whether medication is used or not Biblical counselling will be a key factor in recovery. For Biblical counselling you can contact Wayne on (02)47588778 to arrange an appointment (central Blue Mountains of NSW, only).

Family Issues/Marriage Issues

It is no surprise to you that families are in trouble today. Yet families were God's plan from the beginning. We seek to keep families intact; husbands and wives together (no help to get easy divorces from us) and children with their parents. Our counselling is unashamedly Biblical. There is a Bible study on the family that you can down load. The first 6 chapters deal with issues in the husband-wife relationship. The last chapter deals with children. For Biblical counselling you can contact Wayne 0n (02)47588778 to arrange an appointment (Central Blue Mountains of NSW, only).
