Aside from secular and Biblical psychology in terms of counseling, there is also what we call Christian counseling. Secular psychology is concerned with the teaching of Sigmund Freud, Carl Rogers and Carl Jung, to name a few wherein it promotes the thought that the highest standard of truth is mankind thus, rejecting humankind’s faith. Biblical psychology or counseling is concerned with the Word of God wherein it teaches people that the problems are spiritual in nature.

Christian counseling, on the other hand, is a combination of both secular and Biblical psychology. This means that they integrate the two aspects of psychology in their approach – that they use psychology only as a tool, but do not necessarily view it as the absolute truth.
