Perimenopause is a time of major change; physically, emotionally, and mentally. While every experience is different, research shows that women in perimenopause are around 40% more likely to experience depression, with higher rates of anxiety, mood swings, sleep
difficulties, and stress. These challenges can affect relationships, parenting, career, and
overall wellbeing.

-
Help identify and manage anxiety, depression, and stress
-
Provide evidence-based strategies (CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, Mindfulness) adapted to your needs
-
Create a safe and compassionate space to process changes, grief, and identity shifts
-
Support you in navigating parenting, relationships, and work through midlife
