Holly Simmons

Birth Parent Counsellor

Holly joined that JFJ team in 2023 as one of our birth parent counsellors. Holly comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience from her years within social services. Her warm, caring and sympathetic approach allows her to connect and build trusting relationships with the families she works with.

Holly is passionate and committed, always taking the time to get to know each individual and what their needs are. She is compassionate and loyal to the families she helps. Holly is resourceful and dynamic, often the first person to jump in and offers a helping hand! She starts each day with a cheery disposition, ready to take on the challenges of the day.

Even though Holly is often on the road or in a Zoom Meeting, she always makes time to support those who need her, and often someone her team turns to. Holly walks beside our birthparents and waiting families, providing counselling, education and support as they navigate the many seasons of their journey.
