🌸 Navigating Perimenopause & Menopause with Support 🌸

Perimenopause and menopause can bring emotional changes just as much as physical ones — from mood swings, anxiety, and sleep disruptions to shifts in identity and relationships. You don’t have to go through it alone.

As a counsellor with a background in women’s health nursing, I understand the unique challenges women face during this transition. Counselling offers a safe, compassionate space to explore these changes, manage symptoms, and regain emotional balance and confidence.

🌸 Support. Understanding. Balance 🌸

Living with a chronic condition can be physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming.

With a background in nursing and a specialisation in chronic disease management, I understand how deeply illness and disability can affect both body and the mind.

Through counselling, I offer a supportive space to explore your experience, reduce stress, and develop realistic, compassionate strategies that support your mental health and overall wellbeing 💛

🌿 When stress builds, children need more than time—they need support. 🌿

Chronic stress can activate the fight, flight, freeze response in children, making it harder for them to regulate emotions, focus, or feel safe.

Counselling offers a calm, supportive space where children can:
💬 Understand their emotions
🛠 Learn coping strategies
🤝 Build resilience and self-confidence

At Regain Balance - Counselling, Health & Wellbeing, I work with children and families to nurture emotional wellbeing—because every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported.

🌸 Menopause can be challenging — physically, emotionally, and mentally 🌸

Many women experience mood changes, anxiety, sleep issues, or feel like they’ve "lost themselves" during this time. But you're not alone, and you don’t have to go through it unsupported.

Understanding what's happening in your body and mind, and working with a counsellor who truly understands, and listens, can help you make sense of it all — and feel more grounded, confident, and connected again.

✨ Counselling offers a safe space to explore your experience and navigate this transition with care and clarity. ✨

Here's a great article that summarises some of the challenges we face.

The “menopausal load” names the emotional, mental, physical, and social burdens women carry silently through midlife and beyond.
