Her work is not just a profession but a calling—one that she has embraced with love, resilience, and an unwavering sense of joy.

Her journey into counseling was not a predetermined path but one shaped by experience and a deep desire to help others.

She was inspired by what she saw in marriages—couples and families being destroyed over issues that could be solved easily. Recognizing the need for guidance and support, she felt that God led her into this path to help bring families together.

"My passion for counseling was inspired by what I saw in marriages, where couples and families were destroyed because of things that could be solved easily," Chipo explains. "God made me go into this to help bring families together."

From a young age, she had a natural ability to listen, empathize, and offer guidance. Over the years, she refined these skills through training and practice, transforming them into a profession that has positively impacted countless lives.

What makes Chipo truly remarkable is her infectious joy. Despite the burdens she helps others carry, she remains a radiant source of positivity. Her laughter fills any room, and her unwavering faith in the goodness of people makes her a cherished presence in the lives of many.

Some of her most memorable experiences in counseling come from seeing the transformation in the lives of those she has helped. "One of the greatest joys in my work is when someone I have counseled becomes God-fearing, whether it is a child or a parent," she shares. "Whatever counsel I give comes from the Bible because marriage is an institution of God."

When those she has helped return to share how their lives have changed because of her guidance, it reaffirms her mission and calling. "It is also a very good experience when someone you have helped comes back to tell you about the change they have in their lives because of your counseling."

Her work is not just about problem-solving; it’s about instilling hope and faith. She reminds those around her that challenges are temporary and that with the right support, anyone can overcome life’s difficulties. Her advice to all is simple yet profound: "Refer everything to God and the Bible. The Bible will teach you everything you need to know and will give you purpose in life."
