Our Story

Officially founded in 2014, but birthed from a vision and a call long before that, Vanderpol Center for Leadership and Pastoral Formation, Inc. is a non-profit, non-stock organisation registered in the Philippines as a training and service-oriented institution. We started as a grassroots organisation consisting of a group of peers coming from different areas of ministry and pastoral care work who at the time were undergoing our professional training in Clinical Pastoral Education. This journey has taken us on a road to self-discovery and self-awareness that has led to our own personal transformations. In the process, our inner work has also deepened our individual spirituality and theology and has strengthened us as wounded healers to be more authentic, relational and compassionate to others as well as to ourselves.

Now, we are a multi-faith and multi-cultural network of people coming from different areas of ministry—here in the Philippines and with our colleagues and associates in other countries, we are now an international community of pastoral counsellors, psychotherapists, CPE supervisors, teachers, spiritual care practitioners, clinical chaplains, police/military chaplains, grief counsellors, trauma counsellors and corporate chaplains.

We believe that the transformation of organisations and communities begin with self-awareness and authentic relationships.

We believe that we empower people by listening to their hearts and by journeying with them through the recovery of their souls.

We believe that in order to holistically assist someone in this journey, we need to provide individualized spiritual care and psychosocial support through pastoral counselling and psychotherapy.

We believe that to provide quality of care in this ministry, we must advocate for and exercise a standards-based and professionalized practice of chaplaincy, pastoral counselling, spiritual care and direction, psychotherapy and supervision.

We believe that the practice of chaplaincy, pastoral counselling and spiritual care must evolve from being a volunteer work to a fully recognized profession in the Philippines and in Asia in order to incentivize continuous training, competency development, credentialization and pastoral formation of its practitioners.

To realise our vision, our three-fold mission is to:

Provide specialised training on trauma, crisis management, conflict resolution, grief and bereavement, and relational leadership in private and public sectors.

Provide quality, holistic, and contextualised spiritual care and Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs in Asia.

Provide psychodynamic psychotherapy services for children, youth, and adults.

Internationally-accredited Clinical Pastoral Education is our core offering

We promote inter-faith dialogue and spiritual care in all settings

We regularly conduct seminars on topics such as Su***de Risk Assessment and Intervention, Grief Management, Trauma and Crisis Care, Basic Pastoral Counselling, Palliative Care, Transformative Leadership, and Developing Resilience

Annually (except for 2019), we conduct retreats for those in the Spiritual and Pastoral Caregiving vocation to give them a sacred space for self-care and personal awakening

We reach out to communities to provide trauma intervention in cases of natural disasters, wars, or other calamities

We empower families in indigent rural communities through free Early Childhood Learning and daily feeding programs

We serve our nation through leadership seminars and workshops for our police, military, doctors, and government employees

Vanderpol Center is also part of a very diverse international community as an accredited CPE Learning centre of the Center for Spiritual Care and Pastoral Formation in the US and as the first Asian and only Philippine affiliate of the Spiritual Care Association. With these partnerships, we hope to bring the very best of training to our clients and students in the Philippines (and soon in Asia) following professional benchmarks and standards that will put them at par with the international community of First Responders, Spiritual Care Generalists, Chaplains, Pastoral Counsellors, Spiritual Care Practitioners, Psychotherapists, Clinical Specialists, CPE Supervisors, Educators, and Institutional Leaders.
