We are holistic beings. We share common needs as humans, but each person also has a unique blend of biological, psychological, social, spiritual, and environmental needs and experiences.
With these needs and experiences in mind, Five Sparrows offers a blend of counselling and educational services to support people in exploring and addressing what is important to them, so that they feel empowered to bring about growth and change; to overcome and "soar" into "New Life Horizons".

About the Name, Five Sparrows
Five Sparrows, Counselling and Holistic Development Services is based on a Christian philosophy that everyone is called to experience life in all its fullness (John 10:10). The name Five Sparrows comes from the scripture,
“Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies, yet not a single one of them is forgotten by God. Even the hairs of your head have all been numbered, so do not be afraid, you are worth much more than many sparrows” Matthew 10:29.
This scripture can be explored in many ways, but in its simplest form, this refers to how every aspect of our lives is important in the eyes of God. With this in mind, Five Sparrows aims to support all clients in exploring what is important to them, so that they can live enriched and rewarding lives.
