in Manitoba
Offering Christ-centered pastoral counseling and faith-based life coaching for individuals, couples, and ministry leaders in St. Malo and Southeast Manitoba, with in-person and Zoom sessions available.
There are seasons when life feels heavy, spiritually, emotionally, or relationally. You may be navigating ministry fatigue, personal struggles, faith questions, or a season of transition.

About Your Pastoral Counselor
My name is Samuel Bernard. I hold a degree in Biblical Studies and a Master of Divinity (MDiv), and I have served in pastoral ministry for over a decade as a youth pastor, associate pastor, and life group pastor.
This pastoral counseling and faith-based life coaching ministry flows from a calling to walk alongside people with compassion, prayer, and Scripture — especially during seasons of uncertainty or spiritual weight.
I am based in St. Malo, Manitoba, serving individuals, couples, and leaders across Southeast Manitoba, with both in-person and Zoom sessions available.
