Therapy for Assertiveness and Communication
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
Finding your voice isn’t always easy, especially if you've spent years prioritising others, avoiding conflict, or questioning whether your needs matter. Assertiveness is the ability to communicate clearly, confidently and respectfully, without being passive or aggressive. It's about expressing yourself honestly while staying true to your values.
When assertiveness feels out of reach, people often experience frustration, guilt, self-doubt or strained relationships. These challenges can stem from learned patterns, fear of rejection, perfectionism, or social anxiety. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore what holds you back, understand the beliefs that shape your responses, and learn ways to express yourself more authentically.
At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai, our psychologists and counsellors offer evidence-based therapy to strengthen communication, confidence and emotional awareness. Sessions are collaborative and person-centred, helping you recognise your needs, express boundaries with clarity, and engage more comfortably in relationships and daily life.
Our clinicians draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including:
-
Mindfulness Based Strategies
Our neuro-affirming approach recognises that communication styles differ across individuals, and therapy is tailored to each individual person. Whether you’re managing workplace challenges, finding it hard to say no, or wanting to express yourself more comfortably, assertiveness therapy can help you develop a clearer voice and deeper sense of self-trust.
We provide assertiveness and communication therapy for adults, older adults and adolescents at our Menai practice in the Sutherland Shire, as well as online across Sydney and Australia.
