About Kelli-Anne
I’m Kelli-Anne, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner and Child Consultant based in Brisbane.
With more than 10 years experience, I support young people aged 12 and over, individuals, couples and families with their mental health and wellbeing. Through child inclusive mediation, I also help separating parents understand the experiences and needs of children over five years of age.
My approach considers the person alongside their relationships, family, school, work and wider support system. I offer an empathic space to explore concerns and work towards practical, meaningful goals.
Qualifications and approach
My qualifications include a Bachelor of Social Work, a Graduate Certificate in Education (Trauma Aware Education), Graduate Certificate in Domestic Violence and Graduate Diploma in Family Dispute Resolution. I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, an accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, Child Consultant (Specialist in Child-Inclusive Practice) and a Love Bites facilitator for respectful relationships education.
In my mental health work, I draw on approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness. Sessions are tailored to your needs, strengths and goals.
As an accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner and Child Consultant, I offer a calm, structured approach to help parents reduce tension, explore workable options and keep their children’s best interests at the centre of discussions.
In my role as a Child Consultant, I support children to share their experiences in age-appropriate ways and bring their perspectives into mediation, while parents retain responsibility for decisions.
