Reverend Albert Ampofo Krampah, Head Pastor at Baptist International Worship Center (BIWC) and a famous marriage counsellor in Kumasi has urged the media to grant some breathing space for Charlotte Oduro, the known marriage counsellor to put herself together after getting divorced.
Speaking to this reporter from his current base in London, Reverend Krampah said it is difficult to deal with issues of divorce in the midst of chaos and name calling.
The Church Leader said what Charlotte Oduro was going through was traumatic and needed time off the media screens to deal with the issues coming out of the announced divorce from the husband.
“As a professional counsellor myself I know we are normal human beings and susceptible to the issues that break up homes but we are trained to handle issues with positive mindsets. I have spoken to my sister Charlotte and i am convinced she needs some time off to reflect and move on with her life”, Rev Krampah disclosed.
Professional Competencies:
Reverend Krampah mentioned that professional counsellors place issues in their right perspectives before those who may be in difficult relationships and allow them to choose the best options available.
This, he noted is no way forcing their will on persons or dictating to those who come for their services.
Counsellor Krampah wondered why people feel because Charlotte Oduro called herself a counsellor she shouldn’t have issues in her marriage including the choice of divorce.
“I want the world to know today that Charlotte Oduro has little to do as of now because the divorce came from the husband and I plead that rather than ridicule her we give her time to deal with the issue and reflect on her future life”, the Counsellor advised.
Stages In life:
Reverend Krampah educated that there are stages in every marriage.
He noted there are good times and difficult times in every marriage.
According to him, there can even be a time where separation is required when relationships or marriages develop some sourness.
“Counsellors are aware that there are stages in marriages and when there is the need for couples to live separately they recommend same so that both persons can sit and reflect on issues that are making their relationships difficult and sometimes after a thorough process, the marriage becomes better”, Rev Krampah noted.
