It is important to note that this project does not offer psychotherapy, psychological counselling, or any form of clinical advice, and none of the materials or recommendations provided here is to be interpreted as such services. Any professional counselling is strictly outside the scope of the website. All content offered here is within Christian mentoring, a relational and non-clinical practice that seeks to assist and encourage personal growth, spiritual reflection, and discipleship through prayer, supportive conversation, biblical contemplation, and non-therapeutic guidance.
Therefore, Christian mentoring, as it is discussed here, does not diagnose mental health conditions, does not provide treatment, and does not engage in therapeutic techniques that are usually provided by licensed mental health professionals.[1] Throughout the project, readers and participants are reminded to maintain clear boundaries, avoid giving therapeutic advice, or in any way assume or act in the role of a psychotherapist. Christian mentors are encouraged to recognise signs of significant psychological distress, elevated risk, or potentially dangerous behaviour, and in such cases, they are expected to refer individuals to a qualified mental health professional.[2]
