In today’s rapidly changing world, more and more people are searching for meaningful work that helps others, aligns with their values, and offers deep personal and spiritual fulfilment.
Maybe you’ve found yourself wondering:
- Could I be called to help others in a deeper way?
- How do I turn my compassion into a career?
- What would it look like to bring faith into my work?
If those questions resonate with you, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.
Why Christian Counselling and Coaching Matter Right Now
Australia is in the midst of both a mental health crisis and a spiritual search.
According to Mission Australia’s 2023 Youth Survey, mental health has been the top personal concern for young people for the past six years. In 2023 alone, over 33% of young Australians aged 15–19 identified mental health as their number one issue.
Meanwhile, research by McCrindle shows that three in four Australians (74%) are open to spiritual conversations, and nearly half (47%) believe religion is good for society. Younger generations in particular are increasingly curious about faith, meaning, and purpose.
Yet, amid this need, there is a shortage of qualified, spiritually aware counsellors and coaches who can address people’s emotional and spiritual pain.
That’s why we need Christian counsellors and coaches now more than ever, people who are willing to be present, equipped, and Spirit-led.

Christian Counselling: A Career with Real Impact
Data from the National Skills Commission shows that demand for counsellors is projected to grow strongly, with over 27,000 roles expected by 2026.
The need is even more pronounced in faith-based spaces. A recent report from the Christian Counsellors Association of Australia (CCAA) points to increased burnout in pastoral care workers, with many leaders under-equipped to respond to their communities’ complex mental health challenges.
