I provide supervised visits within the wider community, as I believe this approach is highly beneficial for children. Community-based contact allows children to engage in more natural interactions and experiences, supporting their emotional wellbeing and development.

I have prepared court reports for the past nine years, and my reports have been consistently well received and accepted by the courts. I remain a neutral and unbiased third party at all times. The children are my primary priority, regardless of which party is responsible for payment.

I believe that every child is an individual with their own thoughts, feelings, and life experiences that shape who they are. As an educator, I am committed to respecting and nurturing each child’s individuality, growth, and development. I believe children must first develop a strong sense of self in order to relate positively to others and appreciate diversity. I support this by ensuring that each child’s interests, abilities, and cultural background — as well as those of their family — are understood, valued, and respected through ongoing promotion of cultural awareness and inclusion.

Families play a vital role in a child’s life, and I actively welcome and encourage family involvement. I respect and support children’s need for family connection and provide families with feedback regarding supervised contact sessions, along with guidance on how they can further support their child’s learning and development at home. I also encourage families to share relevant information about their child’s experiences outside of Peace of Mind and the Supervised Contact Program to ensure continuity of care.

By building strong rapport with each child and their family, Peace of Mind develops trusting relationships and gains a deeper understanding of the child’s home life, culture, routines, interests, strengths, and concerns. This collaborative approach supports smoother transitions between home and supervised contact, helping children feel more secure and comfortable.

At Peace of Mind, we are committed to providing a safe, secure, inclusive, and stimulating supervised contact environment. Each child is nurtured and supported to develop family relationships at their own pace. We foster a setting where children feel included, valued, happy, healthy, and safe — enabling them to build confidence and self-esteem.

Above all, children are at the heart of this service. Their wellbeing, safety, and best interests will always remain my highest priority.
