Emotional Support Through Life’s Natural Transition

Menopause is a significant life transition—not just physical, but emotional, psychological, and relational. While it’s a natural part of aging, many individuals find themselves unprepared for the mental health impacts that can accompany this change. At Anchoridge Counselling Services, we provide a supportive space to explore, process, and navigate the emotional aspects of menopause with care and dignity.

Understanding Menopause & Mental Health
Perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause bring hormonal shifts that can affect mood, energy, sleep, and mental clarity. These changes may contribute to:

1. Mood swings or irritability
2. Anxiety or panic attacks
3. Depression or sadness
4. Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
5. Sleep disturbances
6. Body image concerns
7. Relationship changes or intimacy issues
8. Grief over aging, fertility, or life changes



How Therapy Can Help?

You are not alone in feeling this way—and your experience is valid.
Our therapists provide a safe and non-judgmental space to:

1. Explore emotional changes related to hormonal shifts and life transitions.
2. Develop coping tools to manage anxiety, sadness, and overwhelm
3. Rebuild self-confidence and body acceptance
4. Process grief or identity changes around aging, fertility, and purpose
5. Support relationships and communication with partners and family
6. Reduce stress and improve overall mental wellness
