About Me

Accredited Practising Dietitian and Registered Counsellor

Hello! I'm Cindy Yu, a holistic Mental Health Dietitian and Counsellor passionate about helping you feel elevated in mind, body, and soul—for a truly healthy YOU, from the inside out!I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) with Dietitians Australia (DA) and a registered Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

​

As the founder of Healthy Yu, I provide telehealth and home visit consultations, specialising in mental health, disordered eating, and women’s health. With my experience in chronic disease management, working with NDIS clients, and supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, I am committed to guiding you on your journey toward holistic well-being.

​

In addition to my private practice, I work as a Mental Health Dietitian at HER Centre Australia, conducting research on Eating Disorders, specifically Anorexia Nervosa. My previous role as the National Welfare Manager at a mental health charity and my work alongside Professor Jayashri Kulkarni at a Women’s Mental Health Clinic have given me unique insights into the complexities of mental health, shaping the compassionate and individualised care I provide today.

​

My approach is holistic and intuitive, blending nutrition with psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Strength-Based approaches. I take the time to understand YOU—how you’ve come to be who you are, and what drives your health behaviours. Together, we’ll dive deep into your journey, creating sustainable changes that support your overall well-being.

I also have extensive experience delivering presentations and workshops on nutrition, mental health, and well-being to workplaces, sporting clubs, and schools, including the Indigenous healthy eating program, Deadly Tukka. I work closely with organisations to improve staff well-being through personalised programs and group education.

​

Most importantly, I’m here to help you achieve emotional freedom, self-discovery, and holistic nourishment—so you can become the most elevated version of yourself.
