About The Well - School of Counselling

The Well - School of Counselling is dedicated to equipping believers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to support others through life’s emotional, relational, and spiritual challenges. The school was established with the vision of helping churches become places where people can find compassionate care, wise guidance, and meaningful support during difficult seasons of life.


Our courses integrate biblical wisdom with psychological insight, providing lay counsellors with practical tools they can apply within real ministry contexts. The training focuses on key areas such as trauma-informed care, grief and loss, addiction and substance abuse, marriage counselling, emotional regulation, and ethical counselling practices within the church environment.

Through structured learning, interactive sessions, and practical guidance, the school seeks to develop counsellors who can listen with empathy, respond with wisdom, and walk alongside others with compassion and integrity. The goal is to equip individuals who feel called to support others so that they can serve their communities in a responsible, Christ-centred, and impactful way.
