Family Counselling

Families experience many stages of change, from the early days of parenting and the arrival of a new baby to adolescence, blended households, or navigating separation. These transitions can bring emotional strain, disrupt communication, and affect connection within the family unit. Family counselling offers a structured and respectful space to address these challenges and strengthen relationships.

​

At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in the Sutherland Shire, we provide evidence-based family therapy designed to support healthy communication, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience. Our clinicians are trained in systems theory and have extensive experience working with families through a wide range of emotional, behavioural and relational challenges.

​

Every family has its own dynamic, and our therapeutic approach is tailored to reflect your specific goals, relationships, and circumstances. Depending on what is most beneficial, sessions may involve the whole family or focus on parents or caregivers.

​

We support families experiencing conflict, communication difficulties, emotional distance, or major life transitions. This includes navigating separation, co-parenting arrangements, shifting roles within the household, or situations where family dynamics are affecting a child or adolescent’s wellbeing.

 

When clinically appropriate, we may recommend Child Therapy, Adolescent Counselling, Parenting Support, Perinatal Mental Health Support, or Individual Therapy as part of a coordinated and comprehensive care plan.

​

Family therapy can be particularly effective during adolescence, when increased independence and identity development may lead to misunderstandings or tension at home. By working together, families can improve communication, rebuild trust, and create a more supportive home environment.
