This month’s Ask the Expert session focuses on understanding how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can impact mental health. Join us as Simona Stokes, Counselling Psychologist from the Menopause CBT Clinic, and Fran Steyn, Community Nursing Director at The IVFN, guide us through the wide range of emotional and psychological experiences that can arise during this stage of life.
Together, we’ll explore common mental health symptoms associated with menopause, including anxiety, low mood, loss of confidence, brain fog, and memory changes, and why these can sometimes be difficult to recognise, track, and treat. We’ll also discuss the latest research, practical coping strategies, and the different types of support available, from therapy and lifestyle approaches to medical interventions.
Whether you’re experiencing changes in your mental wellbeing, supporting someone who is, or simply want to better understand the connection between hormones and mental health, this session offers expert insight, practical guidance, and the opportunity to ask questions in a supportive, expert-led setting.
