Hello! I’m Dr Clayton Thompson – a registered practitioner psychologist and ordained minister. Through The Affairs of the Heart, I provide online Christian counselling, combining biblical principles with psychological knowledge and skills to support emotional healing, personal growth, and stronger relationships.

As Christians, we genuinely love God, but many of us silently wrestle with deep-rooted emotional challenges – anger, anxiety, depression, or past trauma, whether physical, sexual or emotional abuse – that can affect how we relate to others. Unresolved emotional difficulties can also hinder our spiritual growth and keep us from seeking God wholeheartedly.

Traditionally, psychology focuses on mental and emotional issues. However, working with a psychologist who understands your faith can be invaluable, as a Christian psychologist also recognises and addresses the deeper spiritual challenges, providing counsel that aligns with God’s Word.
