FORM YOUR FAITH. LIBERATE YOUR LIFE.
You can bring your whole self to God. We can walk there together.
Online Christian Pastoral Counseling for Real Life
Faith Formation provides online Christian pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, relationship counseling, church hurt care, Side B and Side Y pastoral support, and ministry coaching with Rev. Elliott Siu.
You may be anxious, discouraged, spiritually tired, hurt by church, stuck in a relationship pattern, or carrying the pressure of leadership. You do not need polished words or a finished story to begin. We can start with what is most difficult right now.
Sessions are held online and are rooted in Scripture, prayer, honest conversation, and practical wisdom. Faith Formation is not licensed psychotherapy, medical treatment, or crisis services.
What kind of support are you looking for?
$150 per session.
Bring the pressures, questions, and patterns that keep repeating. We will look at what is happening in your life, what may be beneath it, and how your faith speaks into your real circumstances.
If a church, leader, or Christian community wounded you, there is room to name what happened. You will not be pressured to minimize your experience or return to an unsafe setting.
If conflict keeps circling back or you feel distant from one another, we can work on clearer communication, repair after hurt, and more honest connection. Want to break relationship patterns? Understand your underlying issues? Sort out why you keep falling into your broken habits? This is the place for individuals and couples to find deep and lasting help.
$150 per session.
Let’s talk about your life with God. If you feel spiritually dry, face an important decision, or want to become more attentive in prayer, this is the place for you.
$150 per session.
Christians leaders, we are at war with Satan’s efforts to tear down our ministry. This thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Let’s work together to grow in your leadership, refine professional skills, and achieve meaningful goals for God’s Kingdom. I’d love to be a sounding board and friend to you.
Bring your challenges: discipleship model design, interpersonal and leadership friction, digital marketing and outreach, staffing/compensation structure, church governance, or general church strategy. Come with a question, leave with a plan.

How Online Sessions Work
Begin with a conversation
A free consultation is a short conversation to hear what you are looking for, answer questions, and decide whether Faith Formation is a good fit.
Meet from a private location
Sessions are held online. You will receive the information you need before your appointment.
Work at a thoughtful pace
You do not need to tell your whole story at once. We will focus on what matters most and move at a pace that respects your capacity.
Start with one conversation
You do not have to solve everything before you ask for help.
