Hi Ceile,
I totally hear you.I have wrestled with this topic many times.The conclusion I have drawn is that secular psychology tends to be very self centred.It's all about your goals, your problems and your mental health.They leave God completely out of the picture.
Then one gets "christian psychologists."They are usually practitioners who have a psychology degree with maybe a bit of bible college.I find this to be an unsatisfactory state of affairs because how do they know how to weed out the futile theories from godless men from those that may actually be beneficial?
So, I did a bit of research.There is a branch of counselling called ," nouthetic " or biblical counselling.The practitioners operate with sanctification - not self actualization as its goal.( If you are familiar with Abraham Maslows hierachy of needs you would know that self actualization is the capstone.)
So biblical counselling.Biblical counsellors have a christian world view which they impart to their clients and it is by far the most useful way of sorting out ones problems with a professional to my mind.
It has taken off in America and there should be a few where you are.
If you are interested ,I have included a link to CCEF - the headquarters of this movement.On this site you can either find training in biblical counselling or find a counsellor.
Blessings!
