Menopause is a natural transition, yet for many women it arrives with unexpected emotional depth. Beyond the physical shifts, it can stir questions of identity, belonging, and meaning. In my practice, I offer a space to explore these changes with sensitivity, insight, and respect for each woman’s lived experience.
The emotional landscape of menopause is often complex. It may include:
- A sense of loss — of fertility, youth, or familiar roles
- Irritability, anxiety, or low mood that seems to come without warning
- A quiet grief, or a longing for something not yet named
These experiences are not simply hormonal. They reflect deeper psychological processes — transitions in how we see ourselves, relate to others, and engage with the world.
In therapy, menopause becomes a portal — a space to explore:
- Identity shifts: Who am I beyond roles, expectations, or reproductive cycles?
- Emotional echoes: How do past traumas or unresolved grief resurface during this time?
- Relationship dynamics: What boundaries, needs, or patterns are asking to be redefined?
- Inner dialogue: What beliefs about aging, womanhood, or worth are ready to be challenged?
My approach blends psychotherapeutic dialogue with holistic awareness and emotional regulation strategies tailored to your rhythms.
This is not about “fixing” symptoms — it’s about listening to what they might be saying. While physical symptoms may be the loudest messengers, they often mirror deeper emotional truths. A hot flush might signal overwhelm. Insomnia may reflect unresolved tension. Fatigue could be the body’s plea for rest — not just physically, but emotionally.
Menopause is not a loss of vitality — it is a shift in rhythm. A chance to re-evaluate, re-centre, and reimagine. Therapy can offer a secure, confidential space for exploration, with practical tools to support your journey.
