The thesis deals with pastoral counselling from a rounded perspective. Therefore it presents both a brief analysis of the characteristic traces of this time and its influences on human subjects, with emphasis on the aspects that tend to destabilize the existential experience, while it describes the most outstanding schools of pastoral counselling, its intuitions and strategies to accommodate the concerns and anxieties of those who require support and care. It shows the relevance of the elaboration of a new model of counselling, capable of dealing with the intricate grammar of suffering in our days. With views to this, we underline the vital necessity of renewing efforts to surpass the dualisms that impoverish the healing actions of the Christian Church, as well as overcoming the barriers that hinder the enriching conversational exchange among the different fields of knowledge and diverse faith communities. The research still points to Christ, marvelous counsellor, as a model par excellence for church members activity and action for the full well-being of the human family. In addition to this, it reflects on the tradition of God s people and the therapeutic nature of the church as sources of inspiration and motivation for the practice of interpersonal care. We conclude that rounded pastoral counselling, and consequently, dialogical, ecumenical, honestly open to frank, respectful and enriching interactions, consists in the most effective and encompassing expression of this type of help offered by the Christian community. This paper strives to give a simple contribution to the development of this counselling model.
