Beulah Park Psychologist
Asking for help is a courageous step. We all experience times of turbulence and disruption in our lives.
As a seasoned psychologist and family relationship therapist, I am here to offer my skills in providing help, support, and guidance.
Hi there, I’m Ros Yuen, a licensed psychologist and family therapist based near Beulah Park.
I hope to support you to achieve realistic and meaningful changes in your life if that is your desire. My primary aim is to interrupt the existing patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that maintain your distress and to introduce new skills so that you can move on in life effectively.
I am deeply committed to guiding individuals through the journey of healing from stress and trauma, empowering them to lessen anxiety, triumph over depression, and forge enriching connections. In this contemporary landscape, it’s vital to develop the skills necessary to find contentment within ourselves, steering away from futile attempts to control the uncontrollable.
Primarily, I provide in-person services at my office, with the option of telehealth if needed. In the event of a mental health emergency, individuals will be directed to the SA Mental Health Triage Services at 131465 for immediate assistance.

Intimate relationships will inevitably face ups and downs. This can impact many facets and cause a variety of issues that may be difficult to deal with alone.
Family relationships are complex, multi-dimensional, and layered. The combination of different views, objectives, behaviours, and actions has the potential to result in complicated dynamics that may hinder happiness and well-being.
Amidst the changes and growth within families, there’s a blend of positivity and adversity. Navigating the complexities of blended family dynamics requires a tailored and sensitive approach to address the distinct challenges they present
Relationships with narcissists can initially seem thrilling and enjoyable, but as genuine care diminishes, they can swiftly turn sour, revealing their detrimental nature.
Same-sex couples may deal with various factors that can benefit from a comprehensive approach from a professional who understands.
Coping with workplace challenges like intimidation or harassment can feel overwhelming. Engaging with professional support services may offer valuable assistance in navigating and resolving these situations.

What is typically involved in the first session?
When you arrive, you’ll be asked to fill out an intake form in the waiting room. The first session is dedicated to exploring your concerns, with my gentle guidance to unearth any underlying issues. You’ll also have the chance to experience my interpersonal style and determine if it resonates with you. Typically, the intake process spans two sessions, and during the initial session, my primary focus is on being an empathetic listener, fully present to your needs.
What should we expect with your cancellation policy?
We require a minimum of 48 business hours notice so that cancelled appointments can be offered to those on the waiting list. If cancellation occurs less than 48 business hours before the appointment and in the case of non-attendance, full fees will be charged. You can read more on our cancellation policy here.

Gottman Therapy
Taking different approaches when working to improve certain issues is important to cater for the specific needs of an individual or couple. One such technique that I implement is known as the Gottman Method.
This approach to couples therapy sessions and marriage counselling focuses on three profiles of relationships: the friendship profile, the conflict profile, and the shared meanings profile.
Interventions are customised to address the unique strengths and weaknesses of a couple’s relationship based on these profiles. Special attention is given to perpetual issues, solvable problems, and enhancing conflict resolution and communication skills.
Are you experiencing difficulties with…?
While anger is a natural human emotion, it can become problematic when expressed destructively. Understanding your anger is key to its management. Identify triggers, recognise warning signs, and adopt effective coping strategies.
Ongoing worry or thoughts that are distressing and that interfere with daily living.Â
Feeling anxious is part of being human, but when it becomes sustained or reaches unmanageable levels, anxiety is no longer a normal response to certain situations.
When your behaviour raises concerns among yourself or your loved ones and begins to detrimentally affect your life, pursuing personalised treatment can provide the support needed to address these challenges effectively.
Compulsions can have a profound impact on daily functioning, warranting attention.
While everyone experiences occasional lows, depression entails persistent and overwhelming sadness. Prolonged depression can evolve into a debilitating mental health condition.
If you’re grappling with symptoms such as low energy, loss of interest in activities you typically enjoy, or a tendency to withdraw from social interactions, seeking support for a potential depressive disorder could be beneficial.
Stress is often associated with sensations of tension and apprehension, serving as a transient experience that may have adaptive qualities despite its discomfort. Nevertheless, when stress reaches harmful levels and starts to disrupt your capacity to function optimally, it demands focused strategies and coping mechanisms.
Experiencing something deeply frightening or threatening can result in psychological wounds. Traumatic events carry substantial consequences, manifesting in physical, behavioural, emotional, or cognitive signs and symptoms associated with trauma-related issues.
 Obsessive thinking frequently accompanies repetitive behaviours or rituals aimed at alleviating the anxiety linked to those thoughts. Addressing this intricate issue is often most effective with the guidance of qualified and experienced professionals.
Understand insecure attachment and learn to behave in more securely attached ways.Â
Issues such as insecure attachment, dismissive avoidant attachment, fearful avoidant attachment, and anxious preoccupied attachment typically require comprehensive professional support.
