Older Adult Counselling
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
Later life can be a time of growth, reflection and renewed meaning. It can also bring change, from retirement and shifting family roles to health adjustments or the loss of loved ones. At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in the Sutherland Shire, our psychologists and counsellors offer supportive, evidence-based care that helps older adults navigate these transitions with confidence, connection and purpose.
People seek counselling in later life for many reasons. You may be adjusting to retirement, coping with grief or loneliness, managing health changes, or navigating new family dynamics. Others come to reflect on identity, purpose, or relationships that have shifted over time. Whatever brings you here, we offer a calm, respectful space to talk, process, and find strategies that promote confidence, connection, and peace of mind.
We provide in-person counselling in Menai and across the Sutherland Shire, as well as online sessions for those who prefer to connect from home. Our team values dignity, privacy, and trust.
Our clinicians use evidence-based therapies that are sensitive to the needs of older adults, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Art Therapy, and Animal-Assisted Therapy. These approaches can assist with anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment and social connection.
Art Therapy can be particularly supportive for people living with dementia or memory loss. It provides a gentle, creative way to express feelings, stimulate memories, and engage in meaningful activity without relying on words. The process can reduce agitation, enhance communication, and create a sense of connection and calm.
At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, counselling is a collaborative process. We listen to your story, respect your pace, and focus on what feels most meaningful to you. Our goal is to support your mental and emotional health through compassionate, practical, and person-centred care.
We also provide seniors counselling for those seeking additional support around ageing, health, or family transitions.
