Genevieve Simperingham is a qualified psychosynthesis counsellor, certified parenting instructor, international speaker, and the founder of the Peaceful Parent Institute — an organisation she established in 2004 after recognising a pattern she couldn't ignore: almost every emotional and relational difficulty she saw in her counselling clients traced back to their childhood.

Genevieve's sole focus is making attachment based parenting as achievable and accessible as possible. Parents deserve this help because it doesn't have to be as hard as it so often is.

Over the past 30+ years, Genevieve has worked directly with thousands of parents, teachers and professionals — from one-on-one coaching to five-day residential retreats — presenting hundreds of workshops, seminars and courses across New Zealand and internationally.

Her approach is grounded in decades of deep study across child development, attachment theory, neuroscience, nonviolent communication, mindfulness, trauma recovery and family systems. She has trained under, worked with and drawn from some of the world's leading voices in these fields, including Dr Aletha Solter (founder of the Aware Parenting Institute), developmental psychologist Gordon Neufeld, psychologist and author Robin Grille, and trauma specialist Heather Forbes.
