Menopause Support
Making sense of emotional and physical change
Menopause brings profound shifts—to the body, mood, identity, relationships, and sense of self. These changes can be confusing and isolating, even for women who expected them. Therapy offers a space to talk openly about how hormonal transitions affect your emotions, energy, and relationships, without minimizing or pathologizing your experience.
Who This Is For
- Women navigating perimenopause or menopause
- Those experiencing emotional or relational strain connected to hormonal changes
- Women facing identity shifts or uncertainty about this stage of life
- Those noticing changes in intimacy, energy, or how they relate to others
- Anyone wanting support that integrates both mind and body
What We Explore Together
- Mood changes, irritability, anxiety, or emotional reactivity
- Identity shifts and questions of meaning or direction
- The impact of hormonal fluctuations on relationships and daily functioning
- Body-based cues, stress responses, and nervous system regulation
- The connection between past experiences and how this transition is unfolding
- Communication and understanding within partnerships or families
My Approach
My approach integrates psychological and physiological understanding, drawing on psychodynamic therapy, EFT, CBT strategies, and gentle body-based awareness. This helps us understand not only what you’re feeling but why, and supports a more grounded, compassionate relationship with your body and emotions.
Is This Approach a Good Fit for Where You Are?
When Menopause Support Can Help:
- You’re experiencing emotional shifts such as anxiety, irritability, sadness, or overwhelm and want space to make sense of them
- You feel unlike yourself or disconnected from how you used to cope
- Hormonal changes are affecting your relationships, communication, or sense of intimacy
- You’re navigating identity shifts or questioning who you are in this new stage of life
- You feel alone or misunderstood in your experience
- You want support that honours both your psychological and physiological changes
- You’re seeking steadiness, clarity, and a more compassionate connection with your body
When Menopause Support May Not Be the Right Fit:
- You are looking for medical or pharmacological guidance rather than psychotherapy
- You need urgent crisis support or emergency mental health care
- You prefer a strictly skills-based or short-term coaching model
- You are not ready to explore emotional patterns, relational dynamics, or body-based signals
- You’re seeking a diagnosis or specialized medical treatment outside the scope of psychotherapy
What Becomes Possible
Menopause doesn’t just signal the end of one chapter; it can also open space for renewal, clarity, and deeper connection to yourself. As therapy supports you through this transition, you may notice:
A calmer, more grounded emotional landscape
More clarity about what you need and how to express it
A strengthened relationship with your body and inner cues
More supportive conversations within your relationships
A sense of reconnecting with yourself in meaningful ways
A renewed sense of agency during a time of change
