Yumi is a compassionate and culturally attuned mental health counsellor with a background in Psychology and Counselling. With lived experience in Japan, Indonesia, and Australia, she understands the unique challenges faced by individuals adjusting to life in Australia. Yumi supports adults (25–45) dealing with childhood trauma, poor boundaries, people-pleasing, anxiety, perfectionism, and relationship stress. Her clients often feel stuck between cultural expectations and personal needs. Yumi offers a warm, client-centred space to heal and grow.
With a Master of Counselling, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and an ongoing professional development, she offers tailored therapy using CBT, ACT, EFT, and more. Yumi also provides psychoeducation through visual tools, empowering clients to challenge negative thinking, identify areas of growth, and apply what they’ve learned outside of sessions.
Yumi offers a non-judgemental, safe space where clients can explore their inner world, heal from past wounds, and build the confidence to move forward. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply unsure where to begin, Yumi will walk with you through the process—step by step.
