Menopause Messing With Your Mind? Take Back Control Through Counselling.
Feeling like you’re going mad? Trust me, you’re not. I have been there—understand the complete panic at forgetting why you are in a room or the name of the person in front of you who you have known for years. These emotional symptoms of menopause are real, and you’re not alone.
If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause, you’re on a hormonal rollercoaster that goes beyond hot flushes and night sweats. The emotional fallout—anxiety, mood swings, low self-esteem, brain fog—can feel even more overwhelming. And it’s often the part no one talks about.
One of the often-overlooked challenges of menopause is that it tends to strike during a time of significant life transitions. For many women, this phase coincides with the emotional impact of an empty nest as children head off to university, the growing presence of younger colleagues in the workplace leading to feelings of invisibility or displacement, or the realization that a career-first path may have delayed or even prevented starting a family. These overlapping pressures can make menopause an especially isolating and overwhelming experience—yet it’s a topic that’s rarely discussed openly. We soldier on pretending everything is ‘fine’.
How Counselling Can Help
I can create a confidential, judgment-free space for you to unpack what you’re feeling—without having to pretend everything is ‘fine’. It’s about being able to talk openly about how you are feeling, how you would like to feel and creating acceptance for where and who you are right now.
Many women simply want to be heard—to know it’s not “just hormones,” but something real that deserves attention. Counselling for women over 40 can help you:
Understand the shifting landscape of your emotions
Find practical coping strategies to feel more at ease
Navigate changes in your identity, relationships, and sense of self
And let’s face it—when it’s 30 °C outside, as it has this July here in the UK, and you’ve just been blindsided by a hot flush, what you really need is someone who gets it—and who can help you laugh rather than weep. That’s the power of therapy for menopause and mental health support during this transition.
You’re Still You—and You’re More Than Enough
This chapter of life doesn’t mean losing yourself. In fact, for many women, it’s a chance to hit reset: rediscover your strengths, reconnect with your values, and step into this next phase with intention and authenticity.
You’re not broken. You’re evolving—and you deserve support every step of the way. With the right perimenopause support and someone to walk beside you, you can embrace these changes with confidence, self-compassion, and clarity.
Although you may be going through ‘The Change’ perhaps it is just time for a change!
