Prayer is often used as part of the healing process in Christian counselling. It may be incorporated at the beginning or end of sessions, or when appropriate, to help individuals feel spiritually grounded. However, the use of prayer is always tailored to the client’s comfort level.
The length of Christian counselling varies depending on the individual’s needs and the nature of the issues being addressed.

The goal is to help individuals achieve emotional and spiritual healing at a pace that works for them.
