Family Counselling
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
Families move through many stages, from the early days of parenting and the arrival of a new baby to adolescence, blended households and separation. These transitions can create emotional stress, disrupt communication, and affect connection within the family. Family counselling offers a structured, respectful space to improve relationships and support positive change.
At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, Menai, our psychologists and counsellors provide evidence-based family therapy for families across the Sutherland Shire and greater Sydney region. Our clinicians are trained in family systems theory and have extensive experience helping families navigate emotional, behavioural and relational challenges.
Family therapy at Evolving Minds focuses on understanding patterns of interaction and improving the way family members communicate and respond to one another. Sessions often explore shared values, expectations, and emotional needs, helping families find new ways to connect and resolve conflict.
We support families experiencing conflict, communication difficulties, emotional distance, or major life transitions. This includes separation, co-parenting arrangements, shifting household roles, blended family adjustments and situations where family dynamics are affecting a child or adolescent’s wellbeing.
Our psychologists and counsellors draw on a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including:
-
Play Therapy
When clinically appropriate, we may recommend Child Therapy, Adolescent Counselling, Parenting Support, Perinatal Mental Health Support, or Individual Therapy as part of a coordinated care plan.
Family therapy can be particularly effective during adolescence, when growing independence and identity development may lead to tension or misunderstanding at home. Working together in therapy can help families rebuild trust, improve communication and create a more supportive home environment.
Sessions are available in person at our Menai practice.
