About Us - Our counsellors and presenters

Paul

Paul Crawford

Paul is both an experienced and well-received speaker and a highly effective cousellor with a history of pastoral ministry. He has a passion to equip people to get more out of life, faith and relationships. Therefore he has spent four years training and studying the Living Wisdom model of counselling. This training included 6 months of intensive understudy with David Riddell. Paul’s heart is to help people find effective answers that sustain beyond the clichés and ‘quick-fix’ solutions.

“In an environment where people should be ‘living life to the full’ I am still seeing a lot of personal pain and relationship failure. It is the truth that sets people free and brings the renewing of the mind”.

Paul’s background is in the building and farming industries, and church leadership. He has been married to Lynette for over 30 years and they have four children.

Endorsement from the founder of Living Wisdom

"It is my great pleasure to introduce Paul and Lynette to you as trained and accredited Living Wisdom counsellors and presenters for North Shore, Auckland.

Paul and Lynette first came to my attention as mature students in the Living Wisdom course we run internationally. I observed them to be wise, gracious and mature Christians with a background of ministry and missionary experience, whom I could entrust my skills and unique techniques to.

I am happy to commend them to any Pastor or person who also has a passion for the care and instruction of God's people in mental, emotional and relational health difficulties."
