Counselling at IRC
Welcome to Our Counselling Ministry
Life can be beautiful — but it can also be deeply challenging. Many of us carry silent struggles, unanswered questions, emotional wounds, or memories that feel too heavy to face alone. At Immanuel River Church, we believe that healing and restoration are at the very heart of God, and that through His presence, every burden can be lifted, every heart can be mended, and every story can be redeemed.
Our Counselling Ministry was birthed out of a desire to create a safe and sacred space where people can encounter the love and wisdom of God in a deeply personal way. Whether you’re walking through grief, dealing with anxiety, navigating family or relationship challenges, or simply feeling distant from yourself or God — you don’t have to face it alone.
We believe that healing is both a process and a promise. Sometimes that process looks like prayer and spiritual encouragement; at other times, it involves sitting with a trained listener who can help you process pain, understand your emotions, and rediscover hope. Whatever your journey looks like, our team of counsellors and elders are here to walk beside you with empathy, confidentiality, and faith.
At its core, this ministry is about wholeness — helping you align your spirit, soul, and body with the truth of God’s Word. We want to see people not only healed, but transformed, equipped to live in freedom and purpose.
If you are longing for clarity, inner peace, or simply someone to walk with you through a difficult season, our doors — and our hearts — are open.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18

What to Expect?
When you reach out, we’ll help you connect with the right person — whether that’s a church elder or a qualified counsellor. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes and are held in a private, peaceful setting.
All conversations are kept strictly confidential. You’ll be met with empathy, understanding, and practical tools for healing and growth.
