Biblical Counselling with Jenn

Biblical Wisdom and Clarity for Life’s Unexpected Difficulties

“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Biblical Counselling

We all face challenging times, and sometimes we need a little help to get through the difficulties that life can bring. Biblical counselling can help! Time spent with Jenn, who is a trained Biblical counsellor, is really time spent in personalized care and discipleship to help you discover God’s solutions to life’s problems.

Confident that God is our ultimate source of hope and help, we can live being changed—one degree at a time (2 Corinthians 3:18) to live like Jesus Christ and be hope-filled to trust our faithful and sovereign God more and more each day!

Each 1-hour session includes a personalized weekly growth assignment, uniquely designed to your area of need.  Jenn’s desire is to see you establish and grow in 8 areas of spiritual growth. These include time spent in God’s Word, in prayer, in renewed perspective, through tailored ‘homework’ assignments that include additional learning through audio, article or Ministry to Women Biblical Counselling worksheets, Scripture memorization,  weekly church community and renewed stewardship that serves and invests in others, all while learning to rest in, rely on and rejoice in the Lord.

Retreat, Workshop & Webinar Topics:

So We Do Not Lose Heart 

We all have areas of difficulty that feel beyond our understanding they may just be too great to grasp! Having a biblical understanding of the heart affects how we relate to God, others and ourselves especially when things happen to us that can weigh heavy on our hearts. Learning how to ‘break down the heart’ through teaching and guided practice with the Ministry to Women Vital Link will help you read God’s Word and pray God’s Word with your whole heart. Enjoy a biblically rich yet simplified and clear approach to understanding what God has done through Jesus Christ for you—so we do not lose heart (2 Corinthians 4:16a)!

Create a Life Purpose Statement that Glorifies God 

Developing a Life Purpose Statement that Glorifies God is both practical for the individual and useful for the unification of a ministry team to steward a more fruitful and effective life, for God’s glory and the benefit of others.

Do you want to live your life with greater intention? Do you want to steward a life that glorifies God—in all areas of your life? When we consider how our lives can best be used for God’s glory, knowing the why behind what we do, matters! By creating a Life Purpose Statement that Glorifies God we can represent Christ to others by bringing clarity and consistency, value and victory to every area of opportunity God has entrusted us to!  Discuss how to do this, why it unites us and when to use your life purpose statement.

For God’s Glory…What Women are Saying:

Nettie’s Testimony, London ON

“Jenn is a gifted and effective Biblical Counsellor. She is a clear communicator and is highly skilled at handling God’s Word. I am extremely grateful for the time that I have had receiving Biblical counselling from Jenn, I felt heard, encouraged in the faith and was pointed again and again to the Word of God. Jenn has a broad range of helpful tools and resources that were used during the counselling process to help me to apply Biblical truth to my life. I can see such clear evidence of how the Lord has used this process to foster spiritual growth and change in my life and know that many other women will grow and mature in their faith through Biblical Counselling with Jenn!”  Toronto, ON

 

“My experience with Jenn in these past 4 months has been wonderful. My confidence in her skills and abilities as a Biblical counsellor is excellent. I always found her to be professional, taking her calling seriously but warm and caring towards me and the situation in my life. Jenn made me work and establish new habits which I am forever grateful.  Journaling, Bible memorization, praying back scripture to God, showing me how to look at the decision process in my life as to whether it was biblically, prayerfully driven or emotionally driven. I was introduced to charts, wonderful visual aids, that helped in staying focused. Messages from different speakers to listen to which helped flesh out my needs in the pocket of time I was in.” 

 

“God has used Jenn tremendously in my life to anchor and ground me once again in His Word and I am so thankful to the Lord for having provided her care, counselling and instruction in His perfect timing.” Minden, ON

  

“I really enjoyed using the vital link to work through a few verses this week. It emphasized the role that my heart plays in setting the foundation for my mind, will, and desires. It showed me how important it is to have our hearts in the right place/rightly ordered so that we can serve and glorify God with our whole lives. It also motivates me to want to study God’s Word, so that I never lose sight of His goodness and grace. Toronto, ON

 

“I so wish that I could continue meeting with you as you’ve pointed me so much to the Lord & to the Word and I’ve gained much more than I ever thought I could.  I came to you for counselling & advice on how to protect myself, but you’ve brought me to a place where my sin is exposed & I am desperate for transformation by the Holy Spirit.  I see that the Lord is answering my prayer from long ago.  He is at work in my marriage and is redeeming our relationship, but not in the way I expected.  He is doing a deeper work in me, through humility & submission to God first, then to my husband.  It has been very painful but redemptive. Thank you so much for not being pressured to be worldly & to give bandaid solutions, but to plough deeply in the heart for Godly truth & intervention, which is eternal.”  Northern, ON

  

“I am very thankful to Jenn, who is a personal friend and colleague in ministry for taking time to counsel me in a time of stress.  Jenn was impartial in her counsel, full of grace and true to God’s Word.  Although she was always gracious, she did not venture from pointing me to truth, even when it was very hard to hear.  She helped me to see heart issues and apply scripture, in a very personal way.  She was very excellent in every detail and I knew she took time to tailor her counselling specifically for me.   Through the truth she directed me too, I became very convicted of my pride and “being full of myself” to the point where I was not willing to receive any personal criticism from my husband.  I had held on to a record of wrongs and did not think the best, when it came to my husband.  Lots of great treasures of wisdom she gave.   I could continue chatting with her for months to come, to help uncover more heart issues.  But I felt like she had given me a lot to work on.  As I continue in obedience in these things, I believe the Lord will continue to help me in my spiritual growth.  She got me to a place where I can move forward from here.  She directed me to another area, that I know I have had some victory in, but I need to dig deeper and I am continuing to seek the Lord on this.  She’s given me some resources which I have already begun.  She is a wealth of grace, wisdom and resources!” Southwestern Ontario

  

“I’m so thankful God has led me to Jenn. She is a true servant of the Lord who is biblically sound and wise. She is someone you can feel vulnerable with. She is trustworthy, honest, and humble. Jenn, thank you for your encouragement and willingness to equip women in God’s Word!” Oshawa, ON

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

 

How do I get started?

Due to the intricacies of life and each unique situation, Ministry to Women Biblical Counselling offers a no-charge 15-minute consultation to ensure we are the best fit for your care and counselling  needs. It’s like a ‘meet n’ greet!’ We can do this over the phone or online.

How many sessions will I need and how often?

Since each situation is unique, we generally recommend people start with 6-8 sessions and then we can re-evaluate at that time. Many wish to continue counselling for a few more weeks, depending on the need. Most often people connect weekly or biweekly, but there is flexibility.

How do I connect with Jenn?

Currently, our best means of connection is through an online platform. I use Zoom. You will need to download this onto your computer or cell device. It’s super easy to set up!

What is required to meet with Jenn online?

For best results, meeting with Jenn online requires access to strong WIFI, a camera on your computer/device, a quiet place to meet, headphones, use of email, a printer and online log in access to mtw.soulcareonline.com, a portal that I use to ensure privacy for weekly homework assignments. 

How long is each session?

Typically, each session is 1 hour, but longer sessions are available if it is in your best interest. The first session, after the meet and greet consultation, is 2 hours. This is needed to include a thorough understanding of your history and presenting need.

What is involved with each session?

Each session allows you time to share, ask questions and review growth assignments.  Jenn will patiently listen and Biblically guide you in specific areas of growth. She will pray with you, share Scripture with you and hold you accountable during your time together.

What does a typical session look like?

Each 1 hour session includes a Personalized Weekly Growth Project uniquely designed for you in response to your time with Jenn. Jenn’s desire is to see you establish and grow in 8 areas of spiritual growth; these include time spent in God’s Word, in prayer, in renewed perspective, through tailored ‘homework’ assignments that include additional learning through audio, article, or Ministry to Women Biblical Counselling resource worksheets, daily scripture memorization, weekly church community and renewed stewardship that serves and invests in others all while helping you to rest with, rely on and rejoice in the Lord. 

What if I need help, but can't afford the session fee?

We want everyone to have the opportunity to receive Biblical counselling. First, we ask that you consider the resources around you. We have found that churches, close friends and family are often very willing to help financially because it allows them to partner with you in the counselling process. Second, Ministry to Women Biblical Counselling fees already reflect a ministry effort to enable most women to participate in counselling with Jenn.
