What people are saying

"Kristin was very empathetic, patient and trustworthy. She made my son feel so comfortable and safe to open up and talk about issues."

Debbie, Parent of a Minor

"The SEHL programme provided well-researched material, practical tools, and a supportive community to learn alongside. The facilitators offered a relaxed, confidential, and professional programme that supported my journey towards greater wholeness and health. If you’re looking for a combination of great resources and community, this might be what you're looking for."

Jacinta Lilly, Pastor

"You have helped me so much in working through things and feeling more confident. Your way of helping and giving advice has been so helpful. I felt like you really saw me and gave me the support I needed."

Grace, University Student

"Working with Perko has been refreshing as he helps leaders create communities that truly meet the needs of the poor, vulnerable, and marginalised. During a disaster, I joined a Zoom call with Perko and church leaders, and their immediate response was inspiring. I was grateful to be among leaders who understood the urgency of our mission and the responsibility of resources."

Joel A'Bell, Convoy of Hope

"Kristin's professionalism and her great wealth of experience in the field of marriage counselling has been great. Her pleasant and helpful personality has been a major factor for us. Even when the sessions were difficult, she managed to manoeuvre the conversation and stay in control, offering positive solutions. In addition, we discovered that her ability to understand and comprehend our most vulnerable emotions was the key solvent for our desperately challenged marriage."

Peter and Hui, Southern QLD

"It was a joy to work with Perko in designing tools and discovering processes that can help leaders together in community expand both role and soul towards optimal health and maturity in Jesus."

Daz Farrell, Churches of Christ NSW and ACT
