Welcome

In Latin terminology, the word "psychology" means "study of the soul".
It is a high calling to study the soul. As human beings, we tend to take
our physical health for granted until we become ill or experience pain
or discomfort. It is much the same with our souls. We tend to take
our psychological health for granted until we encounter circumstances
in life that bring pain, distress, discomfort, or disease.

With the entry of these painful circumstances into our lives often
comes sorrow, hopelessness, fear, or confusion. It can be hard to
know where to turn. You long for hope to be restored, peace to
flood your heart, and healing to replace the feelings of brokenness.
You wonder if joy will ever be possible again.

I would like to suggest to you that the pain that you are
experiencing has a purpose. The pain can be a tool to shape
your soul. The pain can become a pathway to restoration and
healing in the deep places of your being. This soul-work
is sacred ground. Jesus said "What good will it be for
someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
What can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"
(Matthew 16:26). Your soul matters. It is of great worth in
God's sight. 

If you are going through a difficult time in your life and need support,
the professional team of counsellors and therapists at CCS are here
to help you. It is our mission to support you in finding
freedom, hope, healing and peace – perhaps to a
