Woman Sitting Thoughtfully

The 6-Week CBT Programme for Perimenopause & Menopause

Specialist, Evidence-Based Management of Vasomotor Symptoms (Hot Flushes & Night Sweats) | Launching November 2026​​

Are you struggling with sudden anxiety, "brain fog", or disrupted sleep? Many women feel they are losing their sense of self during the perimenopause and menopause transition, yet aren't sure where to turn for support that actually works.

I am an NCPS-registered counsellor currently scheduled to undertake specialist training with the British Menopause Society (BMS). Starting in November 2026, I will be offering a structured 6-session clinical protocol designed to dial down the physical and emotional intensity of perimenopause and menopause.

What to Expect from the 6 Sessions:

Instead of just "talking about" symptoms, this programme provides a clinical roadmap to help you:

  • Regulate the Body’s Response: Learn to manage the internal "thermostat" and reduce the impact of vasomotor symptoms.

  • Break the Symptom Cycle: Identify and shift the specific thought patterns that can make physical symptoms feel more overwhelming.

  • Restore Sleep & Energy: Targeted psychological strategies to address night-time disruption and daytime fatigue.

  • Build a Long-Term Toolkit: Gain a set of self-management skills proven in clinical trials to reduce the "bothersomeness" of symptoms by up to 50%.

A Specialist, Non-Hormonal Path to Relief

 

While Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a common choice, it isn't the only way to find relief—and for many, it isn't an option at all.

Whether you are:

  • Navigating medical restrictions (such as a history of breast cancer or blood clots),

  • Managing side effects from existing medications,

  • Or simply prefer a psychological, evidence-based approach to symptom management,

This 6-week programme offers a clinically proven alternative. Based on the British Menopause Society (BMS) training, these sessions focus on the brain-body connection to reduce the "bothersomeness" of hot flushes and night sweats by up to 50%.

Note: This programme can be taken as a standalone non-hormonal treatment or alongside HRT to manage persistent emotional symptoms like anxiety and "brain fog."
