Relationship Counselling
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
Relationships are dynamic systems that shift over time in response to life’s pressures, transitions and individual growth. Even in healthy partnerships, moments of disconnection or misunderstanding are common. Relationship counselling offers a space for couples to pause, reflect, and understand the patterns that shape connection, with the goal of strengthening communication and rebuilding trust.
At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai, we provide evidence-based relationship counselling, couples counselling and and marriage counselling for people across the Sutherland Shire, including Bangor, Illawong, Alfords Point, Engadine, and surrounding suburbs. Our Gottman-trained relationship therapists provide a calm, professional and supportive environment where couples can speak openly, explore recurring patterns and develop strategies to restore understanding and connection.
Periods of strain can arise for many reasons, changes in family life, parenting demands, financial pressures, work stress, or health concerns. Some couples seek therapy to rebuild trust or resolve conflict, while others come to strengthen their relationship before challenges deepen. Marriage counselling can also support couples who are considering separation and wish to navigate that process with care and respect.
Our clinicians draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Sessions are guided by shared goals and focus on building insight, improving communication and creating sustainable change within your relationship.
At times, one or both partners may benefit from individual therapy to address experiences such as anxiety, trauma, or stress that influence the relationship. Family therapy may also be recommended when wider family dynamics contribute to conflict or disconnection.
Relationship counselling offers a structured and supportive space to explore the dynamics within your relationship. Sessions focus on understanding interaction patterns, improving communication, and creating opportunities for reflection and meaningful discussion. Our aim is to provide a safe and respectful environment where both partners can be heard and understood.
Our practice is located in Menai and supports couple from across the Sutherland Shire and greater Sydney region.
