Renée

Renée holds qualifications in both law and psychology and commenced her career practising in Family Law and Child Care and Protection Law. With the changes to the Family Law legislation in 2006 and Renée's desire to focus on the children and families involved in her cases, Renée re-trained to become an accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP) with the Attorney-General's Department.

Renée has worked in both NGO and private settings throughout her career. Renée has vast experience working with a diverse range of families in the post separation and child protection contexts, from high conflict to culturally diverse families. Having worked across various locations throughout NSW, Renée has developed effective rapports with clients and colleagues from diverse cultures and communities.

Renée has been appointed to various FDR Panels, most notably Legal Aid's FDR Panel and Immediation's Panel of Family Law Experts. Renée is also a member of various professional bodies. For the benefit of her clients, Renée values working collaboratively with other professionals, including solicitors, therapists and child consultants.

Renée is passionate about providing families and children with a safe and non-judgemental context in which all parties feel empowered to have a voice and remain child and solution focused. Her calm, focused and compassionate approach serves her clients well.
