Supporting restoration, growth and healing through Counselling and Coaching for anyone in Christian Ministry
What we offer
We offer client led, non-directive, safe, person-centred counselling and coaching. Primarily, we work with those in Christian ministry (in whatever capacity – full time or part time, paid or voluntary, in the UK and worldwide). Because we’re completely independent, we have absolutely no agenda coming into your session, we just want to provide you with whatever support you need.
Our Story
For almost twenty years we’ve be driven by a passion to help others. Initially this led us into careers in teaching and mental-health nursing, and then, after we’d both spent time on staff and volunteering in church, into cross-cultural mission in Thailand. For various reasons, our last couple of years in Thailand were tough, and took a huge toll on our mental, emotional and spiritual health. As we opened up about what we’d experienced, and as we talked to others who’d been through similar situations, we realised we were far from alone. As one friend put it, we’d joined “a secret club of burnt ministry workers.”
​
We’ve seen and experienced firsthand the joys and privileges of working in both ministry and mission, as well as the pressure, stress and sense of loneliness that can sometimes come with it. When we returned to the UK in 2024, we felt a call to work with those in mission and ministry who perhaps don’t have the support network such roles require or who might need specialist help. Nerys began to apply her counselling training towards working with those in mission and ministry and Tom trained as a coach. Supported by UFM Worldwide and commissioned by The Bridge Church in Cardiff, we (as Rooted Restored) now walk alongside cross-cultural missionaries, Pastors and Christian workers living and working all over the world.
How we can help
Our Professional Backgrounds
Our Sessions
We are based in South Wales, UK and offer both face to face sessions locally or online sessions worldwide. Our sessions usually last between 50-60 minutes and will be tailored to your needs and goals. We work with adults (18+) and both Tom and Nerys work with male and female clients. We recognise the burden of financing therapy sessions, especially when working in Christian ministries where you are required to raise your own support. Our vision for Rooted Restored is to be able to support as many individuals as possible through counselling or coaching without the barrier of finances. Therefore, we offer a suggested donation for those who are able as a means to ensure others can access these services free of charge.
