I’m a highly committed Relationship Professional and Clinical Director of You, Me & Us – a centre of excellence for relationship therapy in Canberra.
The quality of our relationships has a profound impact on our ability to thrive. When relationships start to struggle or break down, it can leave you feeling isolated, frustrated, uncared for, tired, angry, or hopeless. If you are concerned about your future or struggling to feel safe and connected with your loved ones, professional relationship counselling in Canberra and EFT therapy can help you navigate these challenges.
Trying to fix disconnection and conflict alone can feel impossible. Working with a qualified, neutral relationship therapist provides guidance, support, and practical strategies to restore emotional connection and rebuild trust.
Even if you are not ready to engage with a therapist right now, our website offers comprehensive information on relationship struggles, EFT therapy, and support for couples and families in Canberra. Our goal is to help you understand your relationship challenges and feel empowered to take the next step toward healing and connection.
If you’re not feeling happy, close, or connected in your most intimate relationship, our EFT Therapy for Couples offers gentle, effective support. We help couples move away from conflict and distance, working to reignite emotional bonds and strengthen connection.
When a relationship feels close to ‘done,’ our Discernment Counselling sessions help you uncover what has gone wrong and explore whether reconciliation is possible. If not, we provide compassionate Breakup Support to help you navigate the transition safely and respectfully.
Our personal struggles are often rooted in early relationships. Through individual therapy and EFT counselling, we explore how past attachments and trauma shape your present, helping you heal toward a happier, more fulfilling future.
We run immersive couples retreats and therapy intensives that are educational, fun, and highly rewarding. Some practitioners offer 2-day relationship therapy intensives designed for time-poor couples, helping you reconnect and strengthen your bond efficiently.
Family dynamics can create complex feedback loops that strain multiple relationships. Our family therapy supports you to unpack these patterns, improve communication, and foster healthier family connections.
We understand relationships at a deeper level – and workplace relationships can severely impact your We understand that strong relationships underpin wellbeing, even at work. We offer training to teams on how to build empathic, positive, and conflict-free workplace relationships, improving both productivity and satisfaction.
We support relationship therapists across Australia, who may otherwise feel isolated in their challenging work. Through clinical supervision, guidance, and professional development, we help therapists maintain confidence, skill, and wellbeing.
We’re passionate about delivering high-quality relationship counselling to couples, individuals, and families in geographically isolated areas. Through online therapy and intensive counselling, we bring capital-city standard care to communities across Australia.
Expert online counselling at YMU tailored for rural and remote clients, offering support wherever you are.
To feel loved, appreciated, safe, and connected — isn’t that what we all want? And if we’re no longer in love, don’t we still hope our ex-partner will value us, respect our perspective, and act with care?
At YMU Relationship Counselling in Canberra, we believe these needs are universal. Whether you’re working to strengthen your relationship or navigating the pain of separation, our focus is on helping you feel heard, supported, and empowered — no matter where you are in your journey.
Our centre offers a range of support, including evidence-based relationship counselling, discernment therapy, family mediation, and break-up support. We also work with individuals seeking high-quality, emotionally attuned therapy that strengthens — rather than undermines — their current or future relationships.
As therapists, we share a down-to-earth, compassionate way of working. While we each bring our own personality, our shared culture is one of warmth, humour, and empathy. We take time to listen carefully and supportively, no matter your emotional state — and we’ll stay with you until you feel truly heard and understood.
If you’re in a relationship, we’ll guide you with proven techniques to break the cycle of conflict or feelings of inadequacy, helping you reconnect with your partner. Our practitioners are trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and are dedicated to showing you that rebuilding connection is possible.
When one partner is considering separation, we offer discernment counselling to help both of you explore whether this is the best way forward. Creating breathing space allows you to reflect, slow down, and get on the same page together.
For those already separated, we provide mediation to finalise your time together constructively, empowering both of you as you move forward. We also offer online counselling for individuals feeling overwhelmed after a break-up or navigating the family law process.

YMU offer both relationship workshops and relationship counselling intensives to couples who are time poor or who are looking for focused help on their relationship.
One crucial way to become the best practitioner we can be is by seeking support in our work. This, of course, includes mandated clinical supervision, but it also involves connecting with others for debriefing and encouragement, feeling part of a team, and engaging in professional learning. We aim to provide support for therapists living in rural and regional Australia or who are feeling isolated in private practice.
Post-COVID, many people, including therapists, have moved away from capital cities and are now working remotely. Whether you’ve always lived in rural Australia or have recently relocated, read more about how we can support you, including helping you connect with rural and remote clients.
