Elly Taylor is a former Emotionally Focused Relationship Counsellor and the Founder of Becoming Us. Elly is passionate about preparing expectant and new mums, dads and parents for the intense emotional and relational challenges of becoming a family and supporting couples as they go - and grow - on the road of parenthood ahead.

As a consultant, Elly shares her knowledge to include father and partner perspectives (even if they’re not in the room) to address the crucial relational components of parenthood. From reviewing antenatal education slides to diving into case studies, Elly enjoys supporting multi-disciplinary perinatal professionals to build their confidence when working with perinatal couple issues, exploring the developmental processes of matrescence and patrescence, unearthing hidden relationship concerns and nurturing the attachment bond between couples which, in turn, supports adult/infant attachment, what Elly calls “whole family bonding”.
