Perinatal Counselling and Therapy

The transition to parenthood can be a time of great joy, however it can also bring challenges that can impact your mental health, relationships, and sense of confidence. At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, we provide compassionate, evidence-based perinatal counselling and therapy for individuals and families. ​

​

Our clinicians support a wide range of perinatal mental health concerns, including:

• Pregnancy-related anxiety and depression

• Postnatal depression and anxiety

• Birth trauma

• Pregnancy loss and infertility

• Emotional adjustment to early parenting

• Attachment and bonding difficulties

• Grief, identity shifts, and relationship stress

​

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, navigating loss, or recovering from trauma, therapy can provide a calm, supportive space to reflect, heal, and strengthen your sense of self as a parent. We also support couples to rebuild connection and manage the changes in identity, roles, and communication that often arise in the parenting journey.

​

​Our team at Evolving Minds Menai are trained in a range of evidence-based parenting and attachment-focused programs, including Tuning into Kids, Bringing Up Great Kids, Peaceful Kids and Emotion Coaching. These approaches can be integrated into therapy to support emotional regulation, strengthen parent–child relationships, with the aim of creating calmer, more connected family environments. Where appropriate, we also offer family counselling to address broader relational challenges, such as conflict, communication difficulties, or adjustment to new family roles.

​
