The Menopause
The symptoms of both perimenopause and menopause impact us all in different ways and to varying degree. Whether physical or mental, they can have a significant impact on daily life including relationships, social life, family life and work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Many women ask me ‘is it possible to treat menopause symptoms without HRT?’. The answer is YES. It is now acknowledged by not only our own NHS but across the wider medical world that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help limit the impact of numerous key symptoms - both mental and physical.
“It is well recognised that menopause care should be individualised as is emphasised, and so it is essential that women are aware of all treatment options. Greater emphasis on the importance and effectiveness of CBT is well placed, along with clear balancing of benefits and risks of HRT”
“CBT was found to reduce the frequency and severity of hot flushes and night sweats and should be considered alongside or as an alternative to HRT, the draft guidance says.
It was also found to help sleep problems related to menopause, including, how long it takes to fall asleep and how long before waking”
