Who is Kim Dunn?
I am a psychologist, mentor and connections leader.
My passion is helping parents, children and adolescents, and professionals feel more connected with themselves, others and the natural world.
Loneliness is epidemic in our society.
It is implicated in the prevalence of depression and is confounded by our reliance on technology.
It is seen in the faces of children who are bullied, mothers raising children without community support, older people with no family, and professionals suffering burnout.
I was that young child in the playground bullied and struggling to find a voice and trust myself, the mother isolated at home with a child who wouldn’t sleep and screamed non-stop, the professional without a mentor and without a focus.
There comes a point where enough is enough and you really realise that we all need connection - from birth to death.
So, today, this is why I do what I do.
I help children find their voice; help mothers reduce overwhelm; help professionals share their strengths and talents; help you to experience those moments of connection with yourself, others and the natural world.
Through reducing isolation we can create a better future for ourselves, our family and our planet.
Whatever is going on in your life, know that you are not alone.
Whether it be that your child is struggling at school and you have exhausted all your go to strategies; or, whether it has just just become a bit too much and you would love to learn some simple, time efficient, stress management strategies; I am here with positive, practical strategies that can make a difference in your and those of your child.
