HypnoMenopause® – To help you make this time a positive experience

HypnoMenopause®

Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling with the physical and emotional effects of the perimenopause or menopause? 


Are you finding it difficult to cope?


Brain fog, mood swings, hot flushes, disrupted sleep, aches and pains are just some of the symptoms you may be experiencing.


Whatever stage of menopause you're in or whatever symptoms you're experiencing, it can be a very worrying and difficult time of life... but you are not alone.

What you are going through is completely normal and the HypnoMenopause® Approach

Can help to:-

  • Manage stress and improve sleep
  • Reduce hot flushes
  • Lower anxiety
  • Raise mood
  • Raise energy levels
  • Boost your confidence and self-esteem

What is HypnoMenopause® ?

HypnoMenopause® combines hypnosis, mindfulness and CBT to help women manage their experience in a completely natural way. 


In clinical trials, hypnotherapy has been shown to alleviate hot flushes by up to an incredible 74% and can help improve sleep, mood, and general wellbeing.

In addition to helping reduce anxiety, depression, support weight management, build confidence and self esteem, improve sleep and sexual function.

Questions & Answers

What happens during a session?

The first step in our work together is a free consultation, by phone, during which I will answer any questions you have and establish whether HypnoMenopause® is the right approach for you. Following that, you will usually have up to six sessions, during which you will work on different aspects of your experience. During a session, I will talk you into a relaxed, focused state and use a combination of guided meditations and powerful therapeutic tools including NLP, mindfulness and CBT to help you create your desired changes. If you’re motivated to create positive change, HypnoMenopause® can prove highly effective.

How can hypnotherapy help me with hot flushes/ insomnia/ brain fog?

We often think of the brain and body as being separate, when, in fact, they're completely connected. Everything we think impacts us at a physical level (take a moment to think of something which causes you fear, and notice how your body reacts). Hypnotherapy can help us connect with our body at a deep level and, in addition to changing the messages we offer ourselves, visualisation is linked to physical changes at the cellular level. Whatever physical menopausal symptoms you have, increasing your mind-body awareness has the capacity to help.

Is it guaranteed to help me?

As with any type of therapy, hypnotherapy isn't guaranteed to help. However, if you are genuinely motivated to create change and are open to exploring hypnotherapy, like many clients it is likely you will see an improvement in your symptoms.

What if I can’t be hypnotised?

We know from research that some people are more hypnotisable than others. If you've ever been really engrossed in a good book, or spent some time getting lost in a daydream, you have the capacity to reach a state of mind which is just right for you. We also know that the clients who experience the greatest transformations are those who are motivated - regardless of whether or not they're highly hypnotisable. In addition to that, HypnoMenopause® draws on a range of different approaches, including mindfulness, CBT and NLP and people tend to find that they respond well to this integrated therapeutic approach.

I’m on HRT. Is that a problem?

If you're on HRT and wish to continue taking it, it's perfectly ok to use hypnotherapy alongside your medication as a complementary approach..

Can this be used as an alternative to HRT?

Everyone's experience is unique and whilst some women stay on HRT during their HypnoMenopause® Programme, others seek it out as an alternative therapy. In clinical trials, hypnotherapy has been shown to have an effectiveness rate of up to 74% in the treatment of hot flushes - a similar success rate to HRT. It also helps with mood, sleep and sexual function.

Does it matter what stage of menopause I’m at?

HypnoMenopause® is designed to work with women, no matter whether they're perimenopausal or post menopausal. Menopausal symptoms can persist for several years and this programme can help you, whatever your experience.

I don’t have hot flushes. I’m just a bit down…

Some women seek out HypnoMenopause® because of physical symptoms, some women seek out hypnotherapy because of mood disorders and some women seek it out simply because they're feeling stressed, fatigued and overwhelmed. HypnoMenopause® is designed to help with everything from coping with mid-life career stress, to empty-nest syndrome to hot flushes.

How many sessions do I need?

During your initial consultation, we can discuss your needs, including how many sessions you might require. Generally, it is recommended that you have six sessions and complete the full HypnoMenopause® Programme. This allows me to adopt a holistic and integrated approach with you. Unlike a doctor, I’m not just here to treat your symptoms. I’m here to help you pursue the fulfilled life which you deserve. As part of your programme, you’ll receive a general relaxation mp3 and two other recordings specifically to help with the menopause. You will also be taught self-hypnosis so that you can carry the work forwards for the rest of your life.
