Frequently Asked

Questions

Some few questions below to get you started.

What is The Elevation Church?
The Elevation Church also known as TEC has been set up by God to develop members to be witnesses for Christ and still empower them to achieve the highest levels of distinction and greatness in life. At The Elevation Church, greatness primarily means service.
According to Mark 9:35, Jesus said that whoever wants to be great in God’s kingdom must first learn to be the servant of all. The privilege of leadership brings with it a higher calling to serve God and humanity. And as we take definite steps to reach out to elevate one another, we elevate our communities as well. Thus, making the spirit of greatness common.
We have a wide variety of ministries and avenues through which our members can serve. Everyone can find a place to spread greatness. So whatever your gift, this is an environment where you can express it and become all God has created you to be!
How is Professional Counselling with TEC different?

It is different from the normal counselling services because counselling here is scripture based. Combining God’s word with physical encouragement/therapy to the person being counselled.

Do normal people need counselling?

It is a common misconception to think that only seriously ill people need counselling help. Studies show that over eighty percent of people can benefit from counselling at some time in their lives. Therefore, it is normal to need counselling when special concerns or difficult feelings arise.

Most people have a problem at some stage in their lives with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, negative automatic though processes, etc. Therapy can be the most life changing experience and begins with just a single step. If you are considering it, this is an indication that you probably could benefit from the experience.

Is counselling or psychotherapy right for me?

People attend therapy for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing issues such as anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes, work related stress, relationship breakup, job loss or work transition etc.

Many seek the support of therapy as they pursue their own personal exploration and growth.  Counselling and psychotherapy is beneficial  for anyone interested in getting the most out of their life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness and working towards change in their lives using models of therapy such as CBT, reflective practice and self awareness.

What is Professional Counselling?

Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client. Professional counselors help clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behavior change and optimal mental health.

How long does counselling last?

Ideally, counseling is terminated when the problem that you pursued counseling for becomes more manageable or is resolved.

Who are the counsellors?

The counselling service is staffed by a team of professionally trained and widely experienced counsellors who also happen to be the members of the elevation church offering their services in honour of our Lord Jesus Christ.

What happens in counselling?

Generally, you will meet for therapy regularly for about fifty minutes usually at the same time once each week. The goal of counselling is to learn about our habits and patterns of feeling and behavior and how they cause us problems. We can then learn new habits and patterns which will be more successful for us.

Counselling provides a special setting in which we can learn about ourselves enabeling us to be more effective in our relationships with others and with ourselves.
