At Get Your Future Together (GYFT) we provide coaching and consulting services for individuals wanting to build the capacity and confidence needed to reach their potential and live life on their own terms.
Helping: It’s Our GYFT
Everyone has a calling in life. Here at Get Your Future Together, ours is to help you design a better future for yourself, and then grab it with both hands. We’re occupational therapists with over 20 years’ experience in the public, private and NGO sectors – helping everyone from those experiencing burnout, to those living with a complex disability. With personalised programs that are goal-focused, action-oriented and science-backed, we don’t just treat the symptoms. We work with you, your support network, and the wider community and industry at large to make sure that you can truly lead a more fulfilling life. One with less labels, more connections and a healthy sense of purpose, too. It’s our small GYFT to you.
A Healthier Industry For All
Creating an inclusive society is what drives us. One where everyone can meaningfully take part, regardless of their abilities and needs. To do this we all need to take mental health more seriously, including the wider health industry. That’s why at Get Your Future Together we aren’t just changing people’s lives, we’re changing the industry too with our holistic, customised approach. Through a central GYFT coach, we work closely with experts from relevant support industries to create holistic plans that work for you – based on your goals and your aspirations. And as we break down the silos separating mental health, employment, rehabilitation and educational support services, we’re rebuilding a unified, more personalised industry. Because together, we’re more than the sum of our parts.
Our Team
Catherine Phan
Occupational Therapist & Co-founder
In all of my experience, working as an Occupational Therapist in low socio-economic neighbourhoods, private, community and primary care based services in psychosocial rehabilitation, therapy and leadership, living well is something we all want. I came to realise how strongly I feel about developing people, helping people create their sense of identity, and a life that works, regardless of their starting point.
Which was the impetus for me to start Get Your Future Together. At a time when there is so much change and uncertainty about the future, I believe what we can rely on is the capacity of humans to connect and form communities, and use our unique talents to work together solving problems of our world. I partner with people to understand who they are, why they are and what they can do - if music or food is involved, all the better!
Natalie Teo
Occupational Therapist & Co-founder
As a mental health Occupational Therapist working across primary and community-based care, I began to notice some patterns very early in my career.
I saw, time and again, that no one is immune to experiencing periods of poor mental health. I also came to understand that the difference between feeling well and feeling overwhelmed is often not about resilience or strength, but about whether we truly understand ourselves within our own context — our environment, culture, values, daily occupations, and relationships. Most importantly, I saw how powerful it can be when the right supports are in place, working together rather than in isolation.
GYFT grew directly from these experiences. We wanted to create a service that doesn’t sit above people, but works alongside them — one that genuinely listens, respects individual values, and recognises that purpose looks different for everyone. At its core, GYFT is about helping people build lives that feel aligned, sustainable, and meaningful, and supporting them to realise their potential in a way that honours who they are.
