Renée has been a child therapist for over three decades, initially working with children who displayed emotional and behavioral problems at home and/or school. In 1994 Renée started to work with traumatised children and very quickly found herself in need of more information. The journey to understand the impact that trauma has on the brain of the child, and how to enable the child to recover, started in January 1998 and appears to be a never-ending process with increasing research being released. Presently Renée is the clinical lead at Integrate Families, National Centre for Child Trauma and Dissociation in England. Renée specialises in children with complex trauma and dissociation, living in adoptive and foster families. She provides therapy to children and families on a weekly basis as well as consultation and supervision to therapists. Renée is also an international trainer on attachment, trauma, emotional regulation and dissociation in children and adolescents.
