For over twenty five years I've worked for Legal Aid NSW, specialising in clinical assessment as a member of the Client Assessment and Referral Section. In this role I prepared detailed reports to assist solicitors obtain the best outcomes for their clients. The work was hugely satisfying, and I developed considerable expertise in client engagement, evaluation and preparing detailed assessments.

​

I have qualifications in Social Work from the University of Sydney at Honours level. I also have an Arts degree from the University of NSW with a major in Sociology (Deviance/Criminology) and a sub-major in psychology.

​

I have a wealth of professional experience spanning four decades in the fields of child protection, couple and family therapy, social work in an industrial setting as a staff counsellor for employees of Australia Post, and most recently in my role of client assessment with Legal Aid.

​

Fees for reports are in line with the Legal Aid fee scale. In most cases reports can be completed within two weeks of referral. A response to emails will be provided within 24 hours.
