Menopause isn’t just about hot flushes.

While menopause is a natural part of life, the emotional and mental toll it can take is often overlooked. Many women experience anxiety, low mood, brain fog, or a loss of confidence as hormones shift.

These changes can feel isolating — especially when you're expected to "just get on with it." But you don’t have to go through it alone.

If you think you may benefit from support, sessions with an online menopause therapist are effective, accessible, and tailored to your needs.

Our Approach to Menopause Therapy

At Fettle, we believe in a holistic approach to menopause management, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of this transition. Our Menopause Therapy service encompasses:

Personalised Counseling

Our experienced therapists provide a safe and supportive environment to discuss your experiences, concerns, and goals. Through individualized sessions, we help you navigate the emotional challenges that may arise during menopause, such as anxiety, depression, and changes in self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Techniques

Utilizing evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we assist you in identifying and reframing negative thought patterns, developing coping strategies, and enhancing overall well-being. CBT has been shown to be effective in managing mood swings and sleep disturbances associated with menopause.

Mindfulness Practices

Incorporating mindfulness techniques can help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Our therapists guide you through practices that promote relaxation, present-moment awareness, and acceptance, aiding in the management of menopausal symptoms.

Educational Resources

We provide comprehensive information about menopause, helping you understand the physiological changes occurring in your body. Knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about your health and lifestyle during this transition.

Mood Swings and Irritability

Fluctuating hormone levels can lead to rapid emotional changes, increased irritability, or feeling overwhelmed without clear cause.

Anxiety and Overthinking

Many experience heightened worry, racing thoughts, or a sense of unease, often triggered by physical symptoms or life transitions.

Inability to tolerate intense feelings

An inability to withstand strong emotions, preferring to escape them in various ways.

Low Mood or Depression

Feelings of sadness, low self-worth, or disinterest in activities you once enjoyed are common but treatable experiences.

Brain Fog and Forgetfulness

Difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, or a sense of mental "fuzziness" can impact work, relationships, and self-confidence.

Sleep Disturbances

Insomnia, restless nights, or frequent waking can take a toll on your energy and emotional resilience.

Loss of Confidence or Identity

Many women report feeling disconnected from who they used to be, struggling with self-image or body confidence during this stage.

Relationship Strain

Emotional changes can sometimes lead to tension in personal relationships, particularly around communication or intimacy.

If you're experiencing several of the symptoms mentioned above, consider whether you're ready to explore support for menopause with the help of a caring therapist.

The Emotional Effects of Menopause

Menopause can significantly impact mental and emotional wellbeing — but because it’s a natural stage of life, many women don’t realise support is available or needed.

Shifting hormone levels during menopause can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, irritability, and brain fog. Sleep disturbances, fatigue, and a loss of confidence are also common, and can affect relationships, work, and self-esteem. In some cases, these changes may trigger or intensify existing mental health challenges, such as depression or anxiety.

Even women already attending therapy may find that menopause introduces new layers of emotional difficulty. Without the right support, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or disconnected — but it doesn’t have to be that way.

How Online therapy can Help with Trauma

Online therapy in Ireland is a flexible and accessible way to receive support during menopause — from the comfort of your own home and on your schedule. If you’re having a hard time leaving the house, or your symptoms are affecting your energy and routine, online sessions can remove those barriers.

Whether you’re navigating changes in mood, sleep, or identity, working with a menopause-informed therapist can help you feel more grounded, heard, and in control.
