Menopause and Counselling
Have you had the thought … ‘I do not feel like myself lately?’
Life during perimenopause and menopause can feel really different. You may feel more emotional, overwhelmed, anxious or even lost.
You may even feel pressured and lonely going through the menopause as it may feel like it is something you just need to accept and get on with.
Your personal experience matters and you do not have to cope alone.
Perimenopause and the menopause can affect you mentally and physically, where you may experience many changes.
Here are some things you may experience:
-
Mood changes,
-
Low self-confidence, self-esteem and self-worth.
-
Anxiety, low mood.
-
Challenges with emotions, hormones.
-
Irregular periods.
-
Relationship challenges, intimacy challenges, feeling disconnected.
-
Challenges with your identity and life transitions, grief, loss.
-
Hot flushes, night sweats.
-
Vaginal issues.
-
Brain fog, difficulties concentrating.
-
Heart palpitations.
-
Headaches.
-
Feel overwhelmed.
-
Body changes and trying to adjust.
-
Sleepless nights
-
Needing to urinate more frequently.
Your menopause experience is personal to you and there is no certain way with how you should feel.
How counselling may help you:
I offer a safe, calm and confidential space where you can speak freely, feel heard and explore your challenges without judgement. Allowing you to feel heard, valued and that you do not have to cope alone.
Using my pluralistic approach and tailoring sessions to suit you, we would work at a pace that feels right and comfortable to you. Working together would allow you time to slow down, begin to explore and understand your experiences. Encouraging you to start self-reflecting, gain self-awareness and practice self-compassion.
If you feel you would like to speak about your experiences, how you feel and see if counselling could be right for you, please get in touch.
You can message, phone or email me to book a free fifteen minute telephone consultation.
