A Biblical Approach To counselling
CAMBRIDGE SUMMER SCHOOL OF COUNSELLING
with Richard Winter
2nd - 6th July 2012
WESTMINSTER COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE
COURSE IS NOW FULLY BOOKED - our apologies for any disappointment caused.
We hope to run the course again in 2013 with increased CAPACITY.
By studying the relationship between theology, psychology and counselling, 'A Biblical Approach to Counselling' will build a framework for Christian counselling. Designed for anyone who would like to develop understanding, discernment and practical application in caring and counselling, the course will explore issues of grief and depression, anger and forgiveness, anxiety and fear, perfectionism, homosexuality, shame and addictions.
Theory and practice will be held hand in hand throughout, as skills are developed in listening, reflecting, paraphrasing, asking good questions and facilitating change.
The provisional course schedule can be viewed here (subject to change).

He has served in a variety of pastoral and teaching leadership roles in the church. For the last few years he has led the counselling track at the European Leadership Forum in Hungary. His long term interest has been researching and teaching at the interface between psychology, medicine, and theology
He is working on a new edition of his book The Roots of Sorrow: Reflections on Depression and Hope, Crossway, 1988. The new title is When Darkness Falls: Finding Hope in the Midst of Depression (IVP).

''Richard Winter carries with him a wealth of experience in counselling, both as a practitioner and as a teacher. All this is under girded by a passion for theology and worldview thinking. I cannot recommend this course too highly.'' Andrew Fellows, Director of English L'Abri
