The Emotional Side of Menopause
Menopause can trigger notable physical and psychological changes that impact women's mental health, often more than is openly talked about.
How Counselling Can Help
Talking therapy offers a space to process these changes, alongside whatever medical support you're already receiving, without needing to justify or minimise how you feel.
