About The Cornerstone

Catherine Haddow is a committed Christian who established and runs The Cornerstone. 
She is a Chartered Psychologist (HCPC licenced) and offers 1-2-1 biblical counsel to struggling believers. 

Proverbs 3:5-6  tells us ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart,  and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths'
 
But 'trusting God'  and 'acknowledging Him in all our ways' doesn't always feel that easy to do. The Christian life can sometimes be a very hard road to travel. And as we struggle through the storms of life and battle with difficult emotions, we can easily find ourselves drifting away from our walk forwards on the narrow path.

Catherine has trained extensively through the Christian Counselling Educational Foundation and the therapeutic discipleship she offers is grounded in their dynamics of biblical change framework.  She also trained via the two year local church intern programme run by Biblical Counselling UK.

Catherine's passion is twofold. Firstly, to help individuals connect to the truths of scripture through their relationship with Jesus in the midst of life's many struggles. Secondly, to equip the church to wisely and compassionately deliver pastoral care to those who are struggling and to be healthy church cultures who reflect and glorify our Saviour.

Her prayer is that  through her ministry at The Cornerstone she might help others to grow in their knowledge of, dependence on, and love for, Jesus Christ, The Cornerstone.

Need help?

There are many things that can cause us to struggle in everyday life. Demands, pressures and stress can all build up to have a significant impact on our emotional and physical well-being.  For the Christian there is of course often a very strong spiritual dimension to these struggles too.

Catherine specialises in helping adults with these struggles and trials of life in whatever form they might take. Whenever emotions are involved there is always a spiritual component to our struggles.  Therefore, we have to consider a  Biblical World View of our embodied soul to provide pathways into a deeper look at the heart.
Through this she is able to offer 'therapeutic discipleship' and many individuals have been helped to overcome significant barriers and struggles arising in their Christian walk as they have been helped to connect scripture to the life struggle they are facing, getting right to the heart of the matter.

Please take a look at the therapeutic discipleship menu tab for more details of this approach. 

Whatever is causing you to struggle in your Christian walk,  if you would like to talk and look at the struggle through the lens of scripture, please contact me.
