NDIS Counselling and Psychology
in Sydney and the Sutherland Shire

NDIS counselling supports people to work towards the goals in their NDIS plan, particularly where their disability affects how they manage emotions, relationships, communication or daily life. The focus is on building skills and capacity in line with their current funding.

​

At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, our psychologists and counsellors provide NDIS support across Sydney and the Sutherland Shire, including Menai, Sutherland, Miranda, Cronulla, Engadine, Sylvania, Caringbah and surrounding suburbs. We see children, adolescents and adults, with sessions available in person at our Menai practice and online across Australia.

​

​​How NDIS counselling can help

​

NDIS counselling supports people with a range of disabilities, including autism, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental, psychosocial and intellectual disabilities. Common areas of focus include:

​

• Communication and social interaction

• Emotional regulation and managing distress

• Daily living skills, routines and independence

• Building and maintaining relationships with family and support people

• Self-understanding, self-advocacy and adjusting to a diagnosis

​

Counselling may include working through the impact of a diagnosis, building strategies for sensory and communication needs, and developing skills for school, work or community life. Sessions are shaped around what is most useful for each person at that point in time.

​

We also provide autism therapy and ADHD therapy as part of our NDIS work.

Working with an NDIS counsellor

 

Our team includes psychologists, mental health social workers and counsellors with experience working with NDIS clients.

​

Our clinicians draw on evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) informed approaches, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and neuro-affirming and play-based therapy for younger clients. 

​

Online NDIS counselling

 

We offer online NDIS counselling for participants across Australia. It can be a good option if you live outside the Sutherland Shire, find travel to appointments difficult, or prefer the flexibility of attending from home.

 

Sessions are held via a secure, encrypted video platform. 

​

NDIS plans we work with

 

We see NDIS clients whose plans are self-managed or plan-managed. We do not currently accept NDIA-managed funding.

​

If you have a support coordinator, we're happy to work alongside them so therapy fits well with your other supports.
