About us

Being a Christian organization, the fundamental Christian values that support the services offered are seen as key to life and apply over the full range of life experiences.

The mission of SEDA is to support personal growth and emotional development, allowing you to discover a more fulfilled way of living and being.

The values of SEDA

 

The values that are fundamental to the SEDA practise are that all human beings have equal value, regardless of:

  • Age and stage

  • Past and/or present lifestyles

  • Culture and beliefs

Every person needs meaning and purpose in their life and has an existential need to experience acceptance and love. At SEDA we are committed to treat all people with respect, to be ethical, transparent and trustworthy at all times.

Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.

— Hebrews 4:16

These are the values of all SEDA Counselling employees and volunteers, we understand that and accept that some people’s faiths or beliefs may be different.

The letters of the name ‘SEDA’ reflect the underlying principle of the service we wish to deliver; SUPPORTING EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT and AWARENESS. We believe that it is through a supported environment such as counselling that self-discovery, self-awareness and eventually self-acceptance are possible; and that these qualities enable growth and emotional development of any person. SEDA are committed to supporting your growth and development.
