Perimenopause & Menopause Counselling
Supporting You Through Life’s Transitions
Perimenopause and menopause mark significant transitions in a woman’s life, physically, emotionally, and mentally. While these changes are natural, they can bring challenges that impact mood, identity, relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. At Foundations Counselling, we provide a safe, supportive space to explore these changes and rediscover balance and confidence through this stage of life.
Common Experiences During Perimenopause and Menopause
Every woman’s experience is unique, but many share similar challenges, such as:
- Mood changes, irritability, or heightened anxiety
- Low motivation, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating
- Changes in identity, body image, or self-confidence
- Shifts in relationships, sexuality, and intimacy
- Grief around aging, fertility, or changing roles
- Increased stress or difficulty managing life’s demands
Our counsellors understand that these experiences can feel isolating, overwhelming, or misunderstood — especially when compounded by societal pressures and limited open conversation around menopause.
How Counselling Can Help
Therapy can offer meaningful support through this transition by helping you:
- Understand and normalize the emotional and physical changes of menopause
- Strengthen your sense of identity and selfcompassion
- Develop tools to manage mood changes, anxiety, and stress
- Improve communication and connection in relationships
- Navigate shifts in sexuality and body image with confidence
- Reconnect with purpose, joy, and well-being
Our counsellors take a holistic and trauma-informed approach, integrating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based approaches, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to meet your unique needs.
A Collaborative, Compassionate Approach
Whether you’re in the early stages of perimenopause or navigating life after menopause, we’re here to support you with warmth, understanding, and expertise. We recognize the strength it takes to reach out for help and believe that this transition can also be a powerful time of growth and self-discovery.
