Sandra Pringle
Clinical Director/Counsellor
My name is Sandra. I am the Clinical Director and founding member of the Rosa Counselling Trust.
I work from a Narrative Therapy perspective where the goals of therapy are defined by the client. We all have our own resources to deal with adversity, but in hard times we can often lose sight of those resources.
As a counsellor I see each client as unique. Each one has a wealth of knowledge about themselves and their own social environment. Each one has a story to tell and they tell it in their own unique way. I believe sharing of stories develops a connectedness between people. Narrative therapy allows me to journey alongside my clients as they explore their own resources, rather than sitting in the expert chair. I also offer Clinical Supervision.
I have been very happily married for fifty two years, have adult children, and adult grandchildren, hairy grandchildren (my kids’ dogs) and the cutest hairy sausage dog called Bertie.. I enjoy cooking, reading and gardening, and I love bargain hunting.

Hi, I'm Lynne. I am a primary trained teacher with a Post Graduate in Counselling. Originally from Scotland, I grew up in South Africa before moving to New Zealand at the age of ten. I am a dedicated mum to my two daughters and have a keen interest in singing and songwriting.
My passion is working with youth and seeing their lives change for the better. I also endeavour to create a safe, secure and confidential environment which enables openness and ease of disclosure of what can be sensitive, difficult and painful issues.
