Menopause and perimenopause can bring changes that feel unfamiliar, particularly when mood, sleep, energy, or emotional responses begin to shift.

​

Many women notice increased anxiety, irritability, low mood, or a sense of feeling different to how things were before, often alongside existing responsibilities and pressures.

​

At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai, our psychologists and counsellors provide menopause counselling and therapy for women navigating menopause and perimenopause in Menai and across the Sutherland Shire. Sessions are available in person and via secure online appointments.

​

Understanding Changes During Menopause and Perimenopause

 

Hormonal changes can influence both physical and emotional experiences.  This may include shifts in mood, disrupted sleep, changes in energy, difficulty concentrating, or feeling more reactive or overwhelmed than usual.

​​

In practice, we work with women who are trying to make sense of these changes while continuing to manage work, relationships, and day-to-day responsibilities.

​

Common Experiences During Menopause

 

Some women notice:

• Increased anxiety or ongoing worry

• Low mood or irritability

• Sleep disruption

• Emotional sensitivity

• Changes in confidence or identity

• Difficulty keeping up with daily demands

​

When Menopause Counselling May Be Helpful

 

You may wish to consider therapy if these changes are:

• Affecting your mood or sense of wellbeing

• Making day-to-day life feel harder to manage

• Impacting relationships or work

• Leading to increased stress or anxiety

• Leaving you feeling unlike yourself

 

Menopause counselling focuses on helping you understand what you are experiencing and how it is affecting you, while finding ways to respond that feel manageable.

​

Over time, many women find they are able to feel more settled and approach daily life with greater clarity.
