Christian Counselling Training that Integrates Faith, Skills & Purpose

Do you feel called to help others through life’s challenges, with both faith and practical skill?
At aifc, we equip Christians to become qualified counsellors who serve with compassion, wisdom, and professionalism.

Whether you’re a pastor, chaplain, teacher, nurse, or exploring a new path, Christian Counselling could be the next step in your journey to make a meaningful impact.

What Makes aifc Different?

aifc is where counselling skills, spiritual growth, and personal calling converge. This is where theory meets transformation. It’s why our graduates walk away equipped not just to help others, but to live out their purpose with clarity and confidence.

If you’re looking for a Christian counselling course that develops the head, heart, and hands, you’ve found it.

Why aifc? The Power of Integration
At aifc, we don’t just teach counselling, we form whole practitioners. Our approach is built on the integration of three essential pillars:

1. Counselling Skills
You’ll learn practical, evidence-based counselling techniques that prepare you for real-world practice. From foundational listening skills to complex case management, you’ll be equipped with everything you need to be a competent and confident counsellor.

2. Spiritual Formation
Your growth as a person and follower of Christ matters just as much as your academic success. At aifc, spiritual formation is embedded into the course. This isn’t an add-on. It’s a core part of who we are. You’ll develop emotional maturity, resilience, and a deeper relationship with God.

3. Vocation & Calling
Counselling is more than a career; for many, it’s a calling. We help you clarify and pursue your God-given purpose through reflective learning, mentoring, and personalised guidance that connects your training to the real work you’re called to do. At aifc, we don’t just equip you to become a qualified counsellor, we help you take the next step. Through Abound, our dedicated counselling referral and support platform, aifc graduates can:

• List their services and receive client referrals
• Promote their private practice within a trusted Christian network
• Access professional development and peer support
• Stay connected with supervision and mentoring
• Build confidence in business operations and ethical practice

Whether you’re setting up a part-time practice, offering pastoral care in your church, or launching a full-time business, Abound helps bridge the gap between qualification and employment. If you’re looking for a Christian counselling course that develops the head, heart, and hands, you’ve found it.
