Bruce Menzies was born in Subiaco, and has a Bachelor of Law from the University of Western Australia and a Post-graduate Diploma of Counselling from the University of Notre Dame. He is a Nationally Accredited mediator and a registered Family Dispute Resolution provider.

Bruce spent many years as a family lawyer before training and working as a mediator, both privately and with non-profit organisations.

Since 1996 Bruce has worked with separated couples to resolve disputes around children and property. His experience also covers workplace, neighbourhood and community issues, and he offers conflict resolution training and supervision for other mediators.

The mysteries of the intimate relationship continue to challenge and inspire his work as a counsellor with couples and individuals.

In his leisure hours Bruce enjoys writing, reading, movies, and bike riding – as well as his passion for football and cricket.
