With over 25 years’ experience as an Emotionally Focused relationship counsellor, parent group facilitator, mental health educator, partner and mum, Elly Taylor has become an internationally known parenthood preparation and perinatal relationship expert and the award-winning author of Becoming Us. Elly’s passion is preparing parents for a happy and healthy family—at any stage in their parenthood journey. Her Becoming Us approach includes fathers and partners in all aspects of pregnancy, birth and beyond, harnesses the attachment bond between couples to stabilise them through the life changes and unexpected challenges of parenthood and links both parents into community to support the mental, emotional and relational wellbeing of the whole family.
Although Elly has served as a perinatal relationship Subject Matter Expert for research projects through Newcastle University (SMS4Dads), Monash University (Emotional Experiences of Early Parenthood), The Australian Catholic University (Supporting Your Partner when you Have a Baby) and also for Columbia University, New York (the Birth and Corona project), lived experience lies at the heart of her work. Her ground-breaking Becoming Us relationship-developmental framework has now become a comprehensive multi-disciplinary professional education, facilitator training and courses for parents. In a recent full circle moment, Becoming Us Nest Building Sessions are now integrated into antenatal education in the two local public hospitals where her three children were born. Elly lives in Sydney, Australia with her firefighter husband and their three kidults.
