Counselling is an area of specialty at Eastern. We have strong links with a wide range of community and church based counselling organisations. We have our own centre of excellence: The Centre for Theology and Psychology. We’re committed to learning with and from the best practitioners. In fact, many of them teach in our programs.
Everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice and beauty to this world. – Paul Hawkin
