Specialist Service

Where psychological therapy and Christian faith can meet.

For those who hold a Christian faith, we offer a therapeutic space that honours both the psychological and the spiritual dimensions of your experience.

Enquire About This Service

Christian Psychological Therapy is not about choosing between faith and evidence. It is about bringing both together in a way that respects the full complexity of human experience.

Dr Obi Aja brings over 14 years of pastoral support within local church and community settings, alongside his clinical training and professional registration as a Chartered Psychologist. This dual experience informs a uniquely integrated approach.

What this is

  • Professional psychological therapy delivered by a Chartered Psychologist
  • Evidence-based treatment models (CBT, EMDR, MBT, DBT) applied within a faith-sensitive framework
  • A space where both psychological and spiritual dimensions of your experience are taken seriously
  • Grounded in clinical expertise, with sensitivity to the role of faith in identity, meaning, and coping
  • Available to individuals of all denominations and traditions

What this is not

  • Pastoral counselling or spiritual direction
  • A replacement for professional psychological treatment
  • Prescriptive about what you should believe
  • Limited to “religious” problems — it addresses the full range of psychological difficulties

Areas we may explore together

Faith and doubt
Spiritual distress or disillusionment
Identity and faith transitions
Guilt, shame, and forgiveness
Relationships within faith communities
The intersection of trauma and faith
Grief, loss, and meaning-making
Anxiety, depression, and emotional wellbeing
Burnout in ministry or faith leadership

Do I need to be Christian?

This service is designed for those who identify as Christian and would like their faith to be part of the therapeutic process. However, you do not need to be at any particular “stage” of faith, and we welcome people who are questioning, doubting, or exploring their relationship with faith.

If you do not hold a Christian faith, our standard psychological therapy services offer the same high-quality, evidence-based treatment without a faith-integrated component.
