Ms Renate Dwyer Social Worker

Renate has 20 years experience working with adults, children and families presenting with the impacts of relationship challenges and trauma experiences and a range of developmental and transitional struggles. She offers professional and sensitive support for a range of issues throughout all life stages Renate will initially spend some time listening and assessing your circumstances and experiences and how they are impacting your emotions, your relationships and day to day life. She will then work collaboratively with you towards minimising harm, building skills, resolving difficulties and reaching goals. Through this process you will build strength and increase knowledge of how to self-manage the emotional impacts of past experience and future challenges. Renate believes that your internal coping capacity develops over a life span through experience and is impacted by the social, environmental and relational circumstances that surround you. Thus, there is always potential and hope for change and growth. Renate is an appointed counsellor with Victims Services as well as providing specialised and general counselling (not bulk billed).
