Menopause is a natural and inevitable phase in a woman’s life.
Understanding menopause
While menopause is a universal and natural phase of life, the journey through it can be complex and emotionally challenging. Menopause counselling provides a supportive space to navigate this transition — helping individuals cope with the wide range of physical, emotional, and psychological shifts that often arise.
Typically occurring between ages 45 and 55, menopause marks the end of menstruation and a decrease in reproductive hormones. Alongside biological changes such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood fluctuations, many also face identity shifts, body image concerns, changes in sexual wellbeing, and the emotional impact of life transitions like an empty nest. Counselling offers perspective, validation, and tools to support this deeply personal process.

Who will benefit from menopause counselling?
Menopause counselling is beneficial for women approaching or experiencing menopause, as well as those in their support networks. Individuals facing challenges such as mood fluctuations, relationship strains, or difficulty adapting to the physical changes associated with menopause can find guidance through counselling.
Menopausal counselling is invaluable for perimenopausal women, bridging the crucial gap between the pre- and post-menopausal phases. Menopause counselling becomes essential for women in this stage, offering anticipatory guidance, coping mechanisms, and emotional support to navigate the intricate landscape of physical and emotional changes associated with both perimenopause and menopause.
