Whispers of the Heart

Exploring the Silent Struggles of Women Through Christian Counselling and Family Therapy

There are wounds that do not bleed, sorrows that never make a sound and battles that remain unseen. For generations, women have carried these silent struggles, smiling through exhaustion, serving through pain and praying through tears that no one else perceives.

In Whispers of the Heart, Dr. Olivia Winner, PhD (HC), draws on her years of experience in Christian counselling and family therapy to uncover the hidden realities women face: emotional labour, chronic illness, reproductive grief, spiritual shame, abuse masked by scripture and the quiet burdens of leadership, motherhood, and silence within faith communities.

With honesty, compassion and scriptural wisdom, this book offers:

• • Real- life stories and counselling insights that validate unspoken pain.
  • Biblical reflections reminding readers of El Roi-the God who sees.
  • Practical tools and devotional prayers to move from silence to healing.
  • Guides for reflection and discussion, making it a companion for personal growth, small groups, or ministry settings.

This is a book of deliverance. It is a call to break cycles of silence, dismantle shame and walk toward wholeness in Christ. Whether you are a woman seeking healing, a loved one longing to understand, or a leader called to support others, Whispers of the Heart will give you language for the pain, hope for the journey and courage to believe that healing is possible.

You are seen. You are known. You are not alone.
