Counselling for Seniors and Older Adults

Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology — Menai and the Sutherland Shire

Later life can be a time of growth, reflection and renewed meaning. It can also bring periods of change, whether through retirement, shifting family roles, health adjustments or the loss of loved ones. At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai, our experienced psychologists and counsellors provide trauma-informed, evidence-based counselling for seniors and older adults across the Sutherland Shire, including Bangor, Illawong, Alfords Point, Barden Ridge, Engadine, Woronora Heights, Sylvania, Kirrawee, Gymea, Miranda and Caringbah.

​​

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 family dynamics. Others come to reflect on identity, purpose, or relationships that have evolved 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 at our Menai clinic, as well as online sessions for those who prefer to connect from home. Our team values dignity, privacy and trust in every interaction, and we work closely with individuals and families throughout the Sutherland Shire.

Our clinicians draw on a range of evidence-based therapies including:

​

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Emotion Focused Therapy

• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

• Mindfulness-Based Therapy

• Narrative Therapy

• Schema Therapy

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

• Somatic Psychotherapy

• Animal-Assisted Therapy.

These approaches can assist with anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment, identity, relationship changes, health transitions and maintaining social and emotional connection.

​

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.
