Assertiveness Training

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 being heard while staying true to your values.

​

Difficulties with assertiveness are common, particularly among those who have difficulty putting healthy boundaries in place or those who experience social anxiety  These patterns can lead to frustration, guilt, low self-esteem and strained relationships.

At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help strengthen communication skills and build confidence. Our clinicians work collaboratively to identify unhelpful patterns, explore patterns of behaviour and teach practical strategies so you can express yourself more effectively.

Whether you're dealing with challenges at work, struggling to set boundaries in relationships, or working to improve your self-worth, assertiveness training can help you feel more in control, while remaining aligned with your values.

We offer therapy for adolescents and adults at our Menai practice in the Sutherland Shire, as well as online sessions for clients who prefer or require remote access.
