Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, but for many, it can also be a time of significant emotional and physical change. The hormonal shifts that come with menopause often lead to mood swings, anxiety, depression, and a sense of uncertainty. At Centaur Counselling, we recognize that this transition can feel overwhelming, and we are here to help women navigate these changes with understanding, compassion, and expert support.
Understanding Menopause: For many, menopause is synonymous with physical symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and fatigue. However, the emotional impact is often overlooked. Women experiencing menopause may also face:
Anxiety: Increased worry about health, relationships, or even work.
Depression: Hormonal imbalances can trigger feelings of sadness or hopelessness.
Mood Swings: Shifts in hormone levels can lead to unpredictable emotional highs and lows.
Loss of Identity: As fertility declines, some women may struggle with a sense of loss or changing roles in their personal and professional lives.
These emotional aspects of menopause can be challenging to handle alone, and that’s where counselling can make a difference.
The Role of Counselling During Menopause
Counselling offers a safe space to explore the emotions that surface during menopause. At Centaur Counselling, we provide tailored support to help women understand and manage these changes. Our approach involves:
Validating Emotions: It’s common to feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster during menopause. We help clients understand that these feelings are normal and provide strategies to manage them.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): We use CBT to help women reframe negative thoughts and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This can be particularly helpful for managing anxiety and depression during menopause.
Mindfulness and Stress Management: Learning to stay present and calm can be transformative for women going through menopause. We teach mindfulness techniques that reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
Body Image and Self-Esteem Support: Menopause can bring changes in body shape, weight, and energy levels, which can affect self-esteem. We work with women to build a positive relationship with their changing bodies.
