Trauma and PTSD Counselling
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
Trauma can shape how you feel, think, and relate to the world. You may experience anxiety, emotional numbing, hypervigilance, difficulty sleeping, or feel disconnected from yourself or others. These responses are common after distressing experiences such as abuse, neglect, family violence, systemic harm, or chronic stress. Trauma can affect the nervous system and emotional regulation, especially when experienced during childhood or over a long period of time.
At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, our experienced psychologists and counsellors provide trauma-informed therapy in the Sutherland Shire supporting children, adolescents, adults and older adults across Menai, Bangor, Illawong, Engadine and surrounding suburbs.
Our psychologists and counsellors are highly trained in trauma treatment and PTSD treatment, holding postgraduate qualifications and ongoing professional development in a range of evidence-based approaches.
We support people who have experienced a wide range of trauma, including childhood abuse or neglect, domestic violence, sexual assault, vicarious trauma, racism, traumatic birth, and medical trauma. Whether trauma was a single event or occurred over time, trauma counselling in the Sutherland Shire can help you make sense of your experiences, feel safer in your body, and move toward emotional stability and reconnection.
Our clinicians draw on a range of evidence-based modalities including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Trauma-Focused CBT, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Art Therapy and attachment-based approaches. These therapies address the mind–body impacts of trauma and are tailored to each person's needs, goals and readiness.
At Evolving Minds Menai, we also support parents and caregivers who want to break patterns of intergenerational trauma, strengthen attachment, and build more emotionally connected relationships with their children. Therapy may focus on reparative parenting, emotional attunement, and healing across generations.
