Perinatal Counselling
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
Based in Menai in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire, Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology provides evidence-based, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming counselling during fertility planning, pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. We offer 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.
The journey to parenthood can bring both hope and heartache. Fertility challenges, pregnancy loss and uncertainty around conception can deeply affect emotional health and relationships. For many, these experiences continue to influence how they feel during pregnancy and early parenting. Our clinicians offer a compassionate, supportive space to explore these emotions, process grief and strengthen resilience at every stage of the parenting journey.
Our counsellors and psychologists, provide therapy for a range of perinatal mental health presentations, including:
-
Fertility and conception-related stress
-
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
Counselling focuses on emotional regulation, self-compassion and practical coping strategies to manage the emotional and physical demands of this period. We also work with couples to rebuild communication, restore connection and navigate role changes within the family.
Our psychologists and counsellors are trained in 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 strengthen parent–child relationships and create calmer, more connected family environments.
