About Kim

My name is Kim Jones and I have spent the last 15 years working with individuals who have experienced Inter personal violence. I began my journey in 2008 as a senior project co-ordinator, providing practical skills, advice and guidance. However, overtime I observed that once individuals exited the relationships, they remained to struggle to engage in daily occupations, roles, routines and structure. In 2017 I began my journey as an occupational therapist and discovered that individuals were able to breakdown all three areas of self-care, productivity and leisure and, re build, participate and feel satisfied in a world that was meaningful to them.
