Mrs Kimberly Grainger-James
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you." - Maya Angelou. Tēnā Koe, Thank you for reading my profile. If you're seeking some emotional support then you may have come to the right place. I have no idea what might be going on in your life right now, but I'd love to hear about it. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Warmly, Kimberly. About me: I live in North New Brighton with my whānau. I grew up in Māngere East and have Bicolana and NZ European ancestry. I am a registered Provisional Member with Te Roopu Kaiwhiriwhiri o Aotearoa (NZAC). I am LGBT and SW friendly. What to expect: My aim is to give you a safe, non-judgmental place to be heard. My approach is to help you access the strengths you already have. Everything we discuss will be kept confidential. The only exception is when you or someone else might be in danger. Even then, I won't share anything without communicating with you about it.
