You know something has changed... but you can't quite explain it.

​

Perhaps you're feeling more anxious than you've ever felt before. Your emotions seem closer to the surface, your confidence has taken a knock, you're exhausted, struggling to sleep, or finding yourself overwhelmed by things that never used to bother you.

​

You might look like you're coping on the outside while quietly wondering, "What's happening to me?"

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

​

Perimenopause is much more than physical symptoms. Hormonal changes can affect your mood, memory, concentration, relationships, self-esteem and emotional wellbeing. Many women describe feeling unlike themselves and can feel confused, isolated or even guilty for struggling.

​

Counselling provides a safe, compassionate space where you don't have to hold everything together. Together, we can make sense of what you're experiencing, explore the emotional impact of this life stage, and develop practical strategies to help you feel calmer, more confident and more like yourself again. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, low mood, irritability, grief over changing identity, relationship challenges, stress, or simply need someone who understands this transition, support is available.

​

As a therapist trained by the British Menopause Society in evidence-based psychological approaches for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause, I combine specialist knowledge with compassionate counselling tailored to your individual needs.

You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable.

​

With the right support, this chapter can become one of understanding, self-compassion and renewed confidence.

If you're ready to feel heard, understood and supported, I'd be delighted to welcome you for a counselling session.
