About Me
My name is Brooke Shelton and I am a Brisbane-based child and family therapist and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker.In my practice I see children, adolescents, parents, couples and individuals for assessment and therapeutic intervention. People often come and se me as they have concerns that they are not able to manage on their own. This means that the work I do with everyone is different and suited to your needs.
For over a decade I have worked in both the public and private sector in a variety of roles across the family, health, maternity, perinatal mental health and adult mental health field. During this time I have provided assessment and therapeutic interventions to people experiencing stress and difficulties as well as mental health concerns.
