Perimenopause and menopause
Perimenopause and menopause are not simply life stages. They are neuroendocrine (nervous-hormone system) transitions that reshape mood, thinking, sleep, metabolism, and identity.
And it can feel overwhelming, confusing, and deeply affecting.
Therapy can offer space to understand these changes, make sense of what you're experiencing, and develop ways of responding that support both your emotional wellbeing and your changing body.
For one thing, when oestrogen declines, it impacts:
-
Mood regulation
-
Sleep
-
Memory
-
Your tolerance for stress
-
Metabolism
Rather than just considering stress management techniques or emotional processing, our work together integrates:
-
Hormone education
-
Stabilising your nervous system
-
Emotional regulation tools
-
Increasing resilience to overwhelm
-
Restoring sleep
-
Processing any identity shifts and endings
-
Support to adapt to any body composition changes
