Meaning Disclosure Psychotherapy: A Christian Counselling Praxis

Ian's other site

----------------

Having been brought up in the Pentecostal tradition, Ian now worships in a moderate Anglo-catholic church in Mooroolbark, Victoria.  Exposure to the Christian Reformed tradition, particularly the developments in Christian scholarship spearheaded by Herman Dooyeweerd (1894-1977) in the Netherlands, led to his involvement with the Christian Parent-Controlled Christian Schools.  He taught firstly as a primary teacher and finally as the pioneer Principal of the Mountain District Christian School (Monbulk).

These Christian traditions awakened him to the Spirit, scholarship and the sacramental areas of Christian life and work.

He left school teaching to complete a PhD in counsellor education at Monash University formally graduating in 1993.  After finishing preliminary psychological studies he became a registered psychologist in 1989,

From 1995 to 2007, Ian was a visiting and faculty member at Tabor College Victoria, Australia at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels. He is now involved in private practice as a psychologist.  He is particularly interested in Christians working together to express their faith in the area of psychological counselling using the ideas of Herman Dooyeweerd.
