Welcome to Becoming Us™


So what is Becoming Us™?

Parenthood can be a turning point for couples. Becoming Us™ is a unique online training program which equips parenthood professionals to prepare, guide and support couples embarking on their parenthood adventure.

The Becoming Us™ model was created by Australian Relationship Expert, Independent Parenthood Researcher and Author Elly Taylor to create a pathway that ushers expecting couples into their family's best beginning.

Elly shares the wisdom and passion of an experienced parent along with plenty of empathy for new moms, dads and caregivers. She knows that with the necessary focus on the new baby, parents often unintentionally neglect their own needs and their relationship as a couple and the flow on affects of this on the new family.

The Becoming Us™ model is built around Developmental Psychology, Adult Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy and reduces the known mental, emotional, social and relationship factors which contribute to Perinatal Mood Disorders, Birth Trauma and relationship distress.

More than that, Becoming Us™ equips couples to cope with the 'unknowns' of becoming parents, plan for the chaos and prepare for the changes so they have more left over to explore the wonders of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

This groundbreaking information has been delivered through training worldwide and is now available for you online. Learn how to assist in grounding couples through the changes and work with them to grow stronger together than ever.

The training provides you with:

  • Evidence based, thought provoking and practical guidance for working with parents through their changes.
  • Proven methods for working with parents through one of life’s biggest challenges.
  • Lifetime access to our growing library of resources.
  • Ongoing collaboration and support in our private, international Facebook group.
  • A clear roadmap with handouts for working with clients.
  • Certification to run the 5 session Becoming Us™ Parents Program.

About the instructor

Founder of Becoming Us Elly Taylor

As a new mother, around 25 years ago, relationship counselor Elly Taylor discovered a huge gap: expectant and new parents don't get ANY preparation or support for the normal and common life changes and relationship challenges that come with parenthood. Working intimately with thousands of parents since that time, Elly created Becoming Us, a groundbreaking 8 stage relationship-developmental approach to pregnancy and early parenthood. Becoming Us supports the mental, emotional and relationship wellbeing of mothers, fathers and partners to give new families their very best beginning. We invite you to join us and fill the gap for our next generation of parents!
