Parenting Support and Emotion Coaching
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
Based in Menai, in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire, Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology offers evidence-based, trauma informed and neuro-affirming counselling for parents and caregivers navigating the emotional and practical challenges of family life. We provide in-person sessions at our Menai psychology clinic, supporting clients from Bangor, Illawong, Engadine and surrounding suburbs, as well as online counselling across Sydney and throughout Australia.
Parenting can be deeply rewarding yet emotionally demanding, particularly during times of stress, transition or uncertainty. Our psychologists and counsellors provide a collaborative space where parents can reflect, strengthen confidence, and develop strategies to support their family’s wellbeing.
Our psychologists and counsellors are trained in a range of evidence-based parenting programs, including Bringing Up Great Kids, Tuning Into Kids, and Peaceful Kids. For families impacted by developmental trauma, we focus on rebuilding connection, safety, and trust through practical, relationship-based strategies such as co-regulation, attuned communication, reflective listening, and rebuilding trust after moments of stress or disconnection.
For parents of children with autism, ADHD, challenging behaviours, or perfectionistic traits, we provide neuro-affirming, evidence-based strategies to enhance communication, flexibility and emotional regulation. We also support families where eating disorders or body image concerns may be contributing to stress or disconnection.
Counselling focuses on strengthening the parent–child relationship and restoring a sense of balance within the family. Sessions may explore how to respond to emotional or behavioural changes, manage school transitions or refusal, adjust to separation or divorce, and navigate blended family dynamics. We also support parents coping with grief, loss, or the demands of balancing work and family life. Each approach builds on your existing strengths and promotes understanding, connection, and emotional resilience.
We also provide family counselling to support communication, repair relationships, and strengthen emotional safety within the household. Parents who are preparing for parenthood or adjusting after pregnancy loss can learn more about our perinatal mental health support.
