A safe place for you
At NSC, we see the heavy burdens carried by pastors, mission workers and ministers. You have been pouring your heart into the Great Commission, yet struggles like anxiety, depression, trauma or burnout can feel overwhelming. We understand it’s hard to find a safe place to share your hurts, trauma, or vulnerabilities without fear of judgment
We provide a trusted, non-judgmental, and non-denominational space where you can be real, process your pain, find healing and receive professional counselling support at affordable cost. Our mission is to walk alongside you, helping you rediscover peace and strength so you can continue your calling with renewed hope and joy.
Individual Counselling
"Are you feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or questioning your calling? Do you struggle with stress, burnout, or doubts about your self-worth after year of ministry? Perhaps you're finding it hard to connect in your mission field's social and cultural environment, or your mental health is impacting your daily life. These challenges can lead to anxiety, depression, or strained relationships. Individual psychotherapy offers a safe space to explore these feelings, gain valuable insights, and develop tools to navigate your journey with renewed strength and purpose."

Couple Counselling
Ministry can place immense strain on your marriage, especially when both you and your spouse serve in ministry or the mission field. The demands of your calling may lead to tension, stress, or challenges in connecting with your loved one. Couples therapy provides a safe, supportive space to address these struggles, offering tools to resolve conflicts, communicate more effectively, and navigate differences with grace. Through therapy, you and your partner can openly share, truly hear each other, and strengthen your relationship, fostering a healthier, more resilient marriage as you pursue your shared journey of faith.
Family Counselling
The demands of ministry often spill into family life, creating challenges that test resilience and connection. As a minister, you may feel disconnected at home, where children struggle to express their feelings and needs, communication falters, and family members misunderstand one another. The pressure of being a pastor or missionary family can feel overwhelming, adding stress and strain. Family therapy offers a supportive space to address these challenges, helping each family member understand and support one another. By improving communication, resolving underlying issues, and fostering healthier interactions, therapy strengthens your family’s bond, enabling you to thrive together in your shared calling.
Child/Adolecents Counselling
The demanding lifestyle of a minister or missionary family can deeply impact children, who often face stress, reverse culture shock upon returning home, and the overwhelming expectation to be 'perfect' pastor’s or missionary’s kids. They may struggle with academic pressures, relationships, addictions, depression, anxiety, or social interactions. Child and adolescent counseling provides a safe, nurturing space for them to share their struggles, gain tools to express their thoughts and feelings, and build confidence and emotional resilience. Through therapy, they are empowered to overcome challenges, fostering strength and growth as they navigate their unique journey.
