From Jemima, NZ.

Should you be in a position where you require guidance through a difficult season in your life, Life Bridge comes, without excuse, highly recommended by me!  It is a complete honour to be in the position of recommending Life Bridge, and in particular my counsellor, mentor and friend Lyn Baird.  I have valued so deeply the insight and direction Lyn has offered to me as I have journed through to my healing.  Lyn's openness to trying different approaches inorder for me to gain what it was I required out of each meeting saw me expressing myself through art, symbolisim, playing and talking.  Counselling for me became a safe place for experimenting, discovering and rediscovering and I do not recall one session where I came away with what I had come in to resolve or lay down.  What had the potential to be an emotional, vulnerable and difficult process - Lyn made enjoyable, rewarding and easy.  I was utterly and totally blessed to work through a season of my healing with this exceptional lady and will be forever grateful for all that she and Life Bridge have imparted to me.

Lyn – My Counsellor

The spinning plates came crashing down

On my face too often a serious frown.

I hugged myself while endless tears I cried

Deep within my soul many times I sighed.

Scary thoughts blocked my Heavenly Father’s voice

Lyn your fresh insight caused my heart to rejoice.

Too many complex situations gave me a fright

Gracefully you brought me God’s releasing light.

My life’s portion turned into confused stress

Caused my limited emotions to become a mess.

S,  always my unfailing support at our home

Steady advice guided us through a danger zone.

One by one my concerns you unravel

Crucial for sanity this journey I travel.

Life and its issues are ongoing

Into my life please keep on sowing.

You teach me the necessity of self-care

If not, deflate and be useless is my share.

You speak God’s wisdom into my mind and heart

Counsellor your nuggets of truth are very smart.

I wanted to run away unable to cope

Glory to God for this new spark of hope.

Once again my cross is light and small

Lyn, you remind me how to walk head tall.
