I often invite clients to reflect on the impact of “influencers”. While they can inspire, they can pull us away from our own inner wisdom. When we borrow others’ thinking, we can loose touch with our instincts, but when we are grounded and regulated, our clarity returns.

Self regulation is the strategy

I feel incredibly grateful to be able to do this work, and I deeply appreciate the thoughtful feedback shared below.

Julie is incredible. She has continued to support our marriage and us as individuals in a way that we could not be more grateful for.

Arriving highly dysregulated and elevated, certain we were at the point of no return, on several occasions, she time after time centres, calms and regulates us both.

She offers an environment where we can reflect on ourselves, the reasons behind our actions, supports us to be kind to ourselves and each other, and understand why we react a certain way as well as our contribution to situations.

To have someone so knowledgeable, kind, patient, and simultaneously direct and honest in a respectful way, has allowed us to know that we WANT to continue working on ourselves and our relationship.

Her knowledge and support allows us to be understanding and prepared in our role as parents, and also compassionate to the journey of others, regardless of how it affects us.

I, we, look forward to her sessions as we know it is exactly what we need at that moment in time. Every single session we walk out closer, empathetic, understanding, and as a team, knowing what we need to do to keep moving forward in a positive way, and could not be more grateful to be able to book in when we know we're needing some extra support and guidance.

I think I might try some of these ideas. Strategies that help calm the nervous system and can be easily incorporated into every day life are the ones I find most helpful.

I feel really honoured and grateful to witness and be let into couples’ relationships.

Julie Yeo is an exceptional couples counsellor. Her approach is thoughtful, practical, and deeply respectful, creating a safe space for open and honest conversations. Couples counselling with Julie feels less like “fixing problems” and more like a health check for your relationship — something every couple should do, not just when things are hard. You walk away with better communication, deeper understanding, and tools to use long term. Highly recommend Julie to any couple wanting to strengthen their relationship.

So often, what comes out as anger, frustration or hostility is really a deeper longing for closeness. When we can be brave enough to share the softer feelings underneath, it can bring our partner closer in the most powerful ways ❤️

I will often invite my clients to explore “micro-moments” or connection, small, gentle pauses woven into everyday life. Our brains love patterns, so we look at ways to anchor these moments into things you already do, like making a cuppa, brushing your teeth or waiting at the traffic lights. In these simple pauses, hand on heart, a slow breath, your nervous system receives a powerful message: you are safe, all is calm, and everything is ok ❤️

There is a lot of misunderstanding around the “let them” theory. It’s not about letting people walk all over you. Its about the “let me”
Let them do what they choose
Let me choose my response
Let me hold my boundaries
Let me protect my energy
Radical acceptance isn’t about giving up, it’s about stopping the Internal fight over what we can’t control and reclaiming power over what we can 🙌🫶👊

It is such a privilege to be able to walk alongside the wonderful humans that I do, and to witness their incredible growth ❤️

Jule is an incredible family therapist. My husband and I sought her services to help us communicate better. The transformation in our relationship has been profound. Julie helped us move from a conflict mindset to a collaborative mindset. We now seek to understand each other’s perspectives and can see how our past experiences in life contribute to the way we act/react/perceive. She has taught us the beauty of ensuring we repair after a conflict. She has imparted so much wisdom on us and taught us the skills to be excellent communicators with one another. Life is so much more peaceful after doing the work with Julie! Could not recommend her more highly! Julie in herself is also very supportive and approachable making you feel at ease straight away.

With age, maturity, and transitions like peri/menopause, we are invited to know ourselves more honestly. After years of putting others first, it can be difficult to turn inwards, and it isn’t always comfortable. So how do we know ourselves? By paying attention to what we feel, what we need, and what no longer fits. This season isn’t a loss, it’s a return to who you are ❤️
