In this webinar, we’ll walk through three essential things you need to consider before becoming a Christian counsellor — helping you discern whether this path is right for you, right now.
Clarifying your suitability
How to know if you’re cut out for Christian counselling. Are you good with people and have a passion to help others? Not sure if becoming a professional Christian counsellor would be a good career option to consider? We will share with you some simple questions to determine if you are suitable to becoming a Christian counsellor.
Finding the right course
How to choose the course that is the best fit for your situation. Unsure where to get started with finding the right course for you? Undecided as to whether to go full-time or part time? We will share with you the options for study and help you choose the course that will best equip you for your counselling future.
Choosing a career path
How to plan and cultivate a rewarding career. Where could an accredited counselling course lead you? Do you work for a service organisation? Should you start your own business? Becoming a professional counsellor has many career options. We help you explore your potential career pathways.A Pathway for the Season You’re Stepping Into

Sharon’s journey from overwhelmed learner to qualified Christian counsellor
“There were definitely moments when I was practically begging for divine intervention. But just when I thought I had nothing left, God would provide the strength, the wisdom, or even just the quiet reassurance that I was on the right path.”
Like so many, Sharon didn’t begin this journey knowing all the answers. She began with a whisper of calling and a leap of faith.
From self-doubt to sacred work
“I Googled it — turns out, the average age of a counselling student is mid-to-late 40s. I wasn’t an anomaly. I was trending.”
Her studies didn’t just prepare her professionally. They transformed her personally. Through AIFC’s Christ-centred training, Sharon deepened her faith, overcame fear, and discovered how to walk alongside others in their healing with clarity, skill, and compassion.
“This isn’t just a job or a career. It’s sacred work. We’re not here to fix. We’re here to walk alongside.”
