Mary Bahram
Neurodiversity • Eating Disorders • Anxiety
and Trauma Counselling
Mary Bahram is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Psychotherapist at Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai. She works with children, adolescents and adults across the Sutherland Shire, with a particular focus on ADHD and autism.
Mary works with people who often feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or unsure how to manage day-to-day life. This may look like emotional reactivity, shutdown, difficulty getting started or following through, relationship strain, or ongoing stress that feels hard to shift.
Her approach is neuro-affirming and practical. Mary helps people make sense of what is happening for them and develop ways of responding that feel more manageable at home, school and work. Her work often involves emotional regulation, executive functioning, and navigating relationships, with a focus on strategies that can be applied outside of therapy.
Mary also works with people experiencing anxiety, trauma and eating disorders, including binge eating and disordered eating. Her work in this area is structured and evidence based, integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E).
Mary also offers couples counselling for partners navigating communication difficulties, conflict and relationship strain, helping them better understand patterns and respond differently to one another.
