About Me

Accredited Practising Dietitian and Registered Counsellor

Hello! I'm Cindy Yu. I am a holistic dietitian and counsellor and I am here to help you feel elevated in your 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). 

​

I was recently the National Welfare Manager at a mental health charity and previously worked alongside world renowned professor of psychiatry, Professor Jayashri Kulkarni, in a Women's Mental Health Clinic. My experience working in an extremely unique, multidisciplinary psycho-neuro-endocrinology clinic gave me deep insights in understanding complex mental health conditions. This understanding is core to my practice as I live by the values of compassion, patience and generosity. I take the time to understand YOU, how you have come to be who you are, why you do the things you do and truly understand the base of your health behaviours. I will help you to dive deep into the 'why's' which is fundamental in creating awareness and therefore opportunity for growth and change.

​

I am experienced in developing and delivering nutrition, mental health and wellbeing presentations and group education sessions to workplaces, sporting clubs and schools. I also have experience consulting organisations in improving the health of their staff including providing one-on-one consultations, group presentations and providing tailored advice to the organisation.

​

I further compliment my work being heavily involved as a referee in the basketball community. I have 16 years of experience as a referee and 8 years as a supervisor. I am also the current Vice President of my local branch, looking after a team of 30+ referee supervisors and branch of 300+ members. This allows me to practically express my strong interest in nutrition and wellbeing.

​

I am dedicated to providing the absolute best care to all my clients utilising a holistic approach and combining my two areas of expertise, nutrition and mental health. I am trained in several psychological approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness and Strength-Based approaches. I use an eclectic approach with my clients, guided by my intuition, as no two people are the same. I work with YOU, the expert and the driver of your life. I am here to help guide, support and encourage you all the way to the top.

​

Most importantly, I am here. Ready to help you achieve your health goals, help find emotional release and support you in finding the most elevated version of yourself. One that has climbed to the peak of the mountain to enjoy the view of emotional freedom and soul nourishment.
