Thrive Wellbeing

Accessing counselling during menopause can be a powerful step in managing symptoms and supporting your emotional wellbeing. With now up to thirty-four symptoms no wonder we do not know if we are coming or going! You are not alone, I’ve suffered headaches and migraines, itchy skin, irregular and heavy periods, mood swings, insomnia, nervousness, forgetfulness, and poor concentration to name just a few symptoms. Counselling can provide effective support for both physical and emotional challenges.
Talking to a counsellor can offer:
• A confidential space to express your feelings and get support.
• Strategies for coping with emotional and physical symptoms.
• Support with rebuilding self-esteem and discover new opportunities for growth.
• A chance to learn healthy habits and challenge negative self-talk.
If menopause symptoms are overwhelming, reach out to your GP, and access counselling, I can empathise when it comes to perimenopause, menopause, and everything in between. Remember: seeking help is a sign of strength and taking care of your mental health matters.

Radical self-care isn’t just pampering, it’s a powerful act of listening to your needs, setting boundaries and nurturing every part of yourself 🌱 By caring for yourself intentionally and deeply you build resilience, prevent burnout, and show up stronger for yourself, and others. Remember: caring for YOU isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
