Counselling for Menopause & Perimenpause
Menopause isn’t just a phase—it’s a profound transition. Whether you're in early perimenopause, post‑menopause, or somewhere in between, you deserve guidance, compassion, and tools to move through this change with clarity and strength.
Let me walk with you to normalise the experience, relieve suffering, reclaim safety in your body, and rediscover the breadth of womanhood beyond hormonal shift and physical change.
what does menopause counselling offer?
Menopause (and the lead‑up to it) brings change on many levels. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Counselling for menopause can help you:
-
Understand and navigate symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, sleep disturbance, brain fog, mood shifts
-
Process identity changes: body image, sexual desire, roles, shifting life priorities
-
Soften stress, anxiety, irritability or grief around loss of fertility or change of abilities
-
Integrate hormonal, emotional, and physical shifts rather than fight or suppress them
counselling can be of assistance
You might be experiencing:
-
Fluctuating moods (sudden sadness, irritability, anxiety)
-
Sleep disturbance—waking at night, difficulty falling asleep, morning exhaustion
-
Fatigue that doesn’t seem to resolve with rest
-
Hot flashes, night sweats or intolerance to heat
-
Brain fog, memory lapses, difficulty concentrating
-
Lower libido or changes in sexual desire
-
Shifting sense of self, loss of confidence or questions about what “next” looks like
-
The confounding intersection of perimenopause and matrescence - experiencing your own transition alongside raising small children
-
The painful merging of menopause with underlying inflammatory conditions - autoimmune disease, endometriosis, chronic health conditions
