  Dr Renee Cachia is a compassionate and experienced psychologist, specialising in childhood and adolescent development, and parent-child interaction. Renee obtained her Masters and Doctor of Philosophy on an academic scholarship at Monash University in Melbourne, is an endorsed educational and developmental psychologist, and is a board-approved accredited clinical supervisor. In addition to clinical practice, Renee is also a keen researcher and writer, having published a number of academic journal articles which she has presented internationally.

  Renee has experience working in a range of settings, including in private practice, at schools, and in a range of home and clinic-based early intervention settings. She has a passion for helping parents to better understand their child’s development and maintains a collaborative, respectful and trusted relationship with parents. Renee enjoys holding non-judgmental space in group programs for sharing experiences and peer-support during social skills programs, school readiness, parent support, mindfulness-based stress reduction and clinical supervision groups for psychologists. 

  Although Renee can assess and diagnose a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, she advocates that children, adolescents and their parents do not need to seek formal assessment or diagnosis to seek psychological support. She encourages parents to follow their intuition when they feel that their child or themselves need to seek support for adjustment issues, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, adolescent risk or safety concerns, behaviour problems and anger-management and a range of social-emotional difficulties.

  Renee has had intensive clinical experience working with children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. She is able to screen infants for ASD and accurately diagnoses ASD in children from 18 – 24 months, and believes in the importance of highly empathic, professional and psychoeducational service for families during this critical yet stressful time. She has experience supervising therapists and writing evidenced-based intervention programs for children with ASD, developmental delay and co-morbid neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD, learning difficulties and genetic disorders.
