  • Helping parents to support their kids

    Kimberley Harper has been working with families for over 15 years, primarily with parents and foster carers.  With a background in Psychology (Education and Developmental), Kimberley has worked in family counselling settings, schools, youth services, and training facilitation roles. She has done this in both the government and non-government sectors.  Kimberley developed a passion for specifically working with parents over the years as she found that when parents feel supported, the entire family tends to do better.  Kimberley is also the mother to two vastly different boys, who amaze her, frustrate her, and fill her heart on the daily.

  • Talking with MY GIRL!

    I have wanted to have my Daughter on for a while now. We finally sat down together and had a chat. She is 8. And the love of my life. I always knew I wanted to be a Mum. I really didn't have an idea  (despite thinking I did) how incredible and challenging it would be. Best gig I have ever had. . :) x
