About Us - Our counsellors and presenters
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.
