Are You Looking for a Therapist Who Understands Your Faith?
You know you need support — but every time you think about reaching out, you wonder: Will they understand how important my faith is to me? Will they respect my beliefs, or will I have to leave that part of myself at the door?
Maybe you're an individual dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or a pattern of unhealthy relationships — and prayer alone hasn't been enough to find relief. Maybe you and your spouse are struggling with communication, emotional distance, or a betrayal of trust — and you want guidance rooted in both clinical expertise and Christian values.
Either way, you want a therapist who sees your faith as a strength, not something to work around. Someone who can integrate Biblical principles with real, proven therapeutic methods to help you heal, grow, and move forward.
That's exactly what Christian counselling at The Relationship Agency in Ajax provides.
Many Christians wrestle with the idea of therapy. You might wonder if needing professional help means your faith isn't strong enough. If you're a couple, you might feel like struggling in your marriage means you've failed the commitment you made before God.
Neither is true. Seeking support takes courage — and it's deeply aligned with Biblical principles of community, healing, and wisdom. Research shows that the average couple waits six years before seeking help for relationship problems. That's six years of distance building between you. And for individuals, the gap between the spiritual support you receive at church and the deeper emotional work you need is something many people of faith experience.
Christian counselling bridges that gap. It combines the compassion and wisdom of your spiritual life with evidence-based therapeutic methods that create real, lasting change — whether you're working on yourself or on your marriage.
Seeking Help Is an Act of Faith, Not a Sign of Weakness

Christian Marriage Counselling for Couples
You made a covenant before God. You meant every word of your vows. But right now, your marriage doesn't look or feel the way you thought it would.
Rohan's approach to Christian marriage counselling in Ajax focuses on the relationship itself — not on picking sides or placing blame. You'll work together as a team. He uses the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — two of the most researched and effective approaches to couples therapy — combined with the values of your shared faith.
Christian marriage counselling can help with:
Communication breakdowns — learning to truly hear each other without escalating into conflict
Trust and betrayal — rebuilding after infidelity, broken promises, or emotional affairs
Emotional disconnection — when you love each other but can't seem to reach each other anymore
Conflict patterns — breaking cycles of criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt
Intimacy challenges — reconnecting physically and emotionally
Financial stress, parenting differences, and life transitions — getting on the same page as partners
Premarital preparation — building a strong foundation before you say "I do"
Rohan knows that even issues like betrayal and trauma can be overcome when both partners are committed to the process and to working together on the relationship.
Christian Counselling for Individuals
Individual Christian counselling in Ajax or Oshawa helps you navigate life's challenges with both clinical expertise and spiritual grounding. Rohan works with individuals facing:
Anxiety and worry — when fear feels bigger than your faith and you can't quiet your mind
Depression and hopelessness — when you feel disconnected from joy, purpose, and even God
Grief and loss — processing death, divorce, job loss, or life transitions with emotional and spiritual support
Self-worth and identity — overcoming feelings of unworthiness, imposter syndrome, and negative self-talk
Relationship patterns — breaking cycles of unhealthy relationships and building the confidence to hold boundaries
Men's issues — addressing the unique emotional and relational challenges men face in a safe, judgment-free space
Spiritual struggles — doubt, questioning, and feeling distant from your faith
Whether your challenge feels deeply spiritual, entirely practical, or somewhere in between — Rohan meets you where you are..
How Christian Counselling Works at The Relationship Agency
Christian counselling with Rohan isn't about choosing between your faith and good therapy — it's about bringing them together.
Rohan holds both a Master of Social Work from York University and a Master of Divinity from Canada Christian College, where he has also completed his Doctorate of Ministry. This unique combination means you're working with someone who is both a clinically trained psychotherapist and an ordained minister — someone who understands the intersection of mental health and spiritual life on a deep, personal level.
In sessions, Rohan respectfully integrates psychological and Christian elements based on what works best for you. This might include:
Evidence-based therapy — approaches like the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address what you're going through at the root
Biblical principles — faith, forgiveness, grace, and purpose woven naturally into the therapeutic process
A balanced perspective — gaining clarity through both psychological insight and spiritual wisdom so you can make decisions aligned with your values
Prayer and scripture — incorporated when you want them, never forced
The result? You gain real tools for growth while deepening your relationship with God — and with each other, if you're coming as a couple.
