hypnotherapy for menopause
You have reached this page because you are in the depths of menopause! You might be experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, brain fog, weight gain, mood swings (from laughing one minute to raging with anger, to lip quivering sadness), and vaginal dryness. Yep, the menopause experience is different for everyone and that’s why individual, validating, support is so important so you don’t feel like you are loosing your mind. You are not in this alone, every person born with ovaries will experience menopause eventually. It’s just that society has made us keep it quiet and hidden for such a long time, until now!
Where ever you’re at with your menopause journey, hypnotherapy has been found to reduce vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes and night sweats), support insomnia, depression/anxiety, boost self esteem and weight management. Both Australian Menopausal Society and The Menopause Society (formerly known as The Northern American Menopausal Society) have endorsed that hypnotherapy is a safe non-pharmaceutical treatment option, along side with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices.
The great aspect of hypnotherapy is that it can be individualised just for you! Focusing on your experience and using your own personal strengths to change beliefs and to create positive experiences and change.

Frequently asked questions
Q: I’m not sure if I can be hypnotised? Will this work for me?
A: Hypnosis is a completely natural experience which is individual for everyone. It’s similar to feeling completely absorbed or focused - a bit like the experience of daydreaming, reading a book or being absorbed in a movie. If you’re used to meditating or doing yoga, you’ll have experienced a similar state of mind. Some people go deeper into a state of hypnosis than others and hypnotherapy can be effective for everyone. Hypnotherpay for Menopause is a multi-faceted therapeutic approach which draws on Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and is designed to help in a variety of ways. If you’re motivated to create positive change, Hypnotherapy for Menopause can prove highly effective, no matter what level of hypnosis you achieve.
Q: What can I expect during a Hypnotherapy for Menopause session?
A: Hypnotherapy for Menopause combines counselling and hypnotherapy and in addition to working with you at a hypnotherapeutic level, I’ll also help you set goals for the future and support you whilst you take any practical steps, from creating a better sleep routine to increasing your exercise levels, which will help you create the changes you desire. When it comes to hypnotherapy, I will talk you into a focused, absorbed state and then offer you positive suggestions, guided meditations and encourage you to imagine yourself in particular situations, all of which have the capacity to powerfully create transformation at an unconscious level.
Q: How can hypnotherapy help me with something that is a physical condition?
A: Whatever menopausal symptoms you are experiencing, hypnotherapy has the capacity to help. Research shows that hypnotherapy can help reduce hot flushes and night sweats by up to 74% and can help improve sleep, mood, and general wellbeing1 . Although we often think of our minds and bodies as being separate, in fact, they’re constantly communicating with each other. An example of this would be feeling scared and experiencing a rush of adrenalin which causes our heart rates to rise and our faces to redden. How you think about, and respond to, your menopausal experience shapes that experience and hypnotherapy provides a powerful way to explore, and change, our thoughts and emotions. Hypnotherapy for Menopause encourages a deeper connection between the mind and body which encourages a sense of healing and recovery and can help improve your physical experience. Hypnotherapy is also a wonderfully relaxing experience which can help manage stress and anxiety – two issues which many women face during menopause.
Q: My symptoms are really severe. Is Hypnotherapy for Menopause guaranteed to help?
A: Hypnotherapy is clinically proven to help women during menopause, and Hypnotherapy for Menopause incorporates a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach which also has a clinically proven track record in helping women during menopause . However, the effectiveness of any type of therapy depends on the individual and whilst it is hoped you see a considerable improvement in your symptoms, guarantees are not offered.
Q: Why do you recommended five sessions when all I’m really coming about is poor sleep/ hot flushes/ menopausal weight gain?
A: Hypnotherapy for Menopause represents a holistic therapeutic approach which may be new to you. Rather than simply treating the symptoms, I will be working with you to treat you as a whole person. I’ll also help you see beyond the symptoms and support you in embracing this important phase in your life.
Q: I’m on HRT. Can I still do Hypnotherapy for Menopause?
A: Absolutely! HRT can help some women see an improvement in menopausal symptoms and quality of life and, it it’s working for you, Hypnotherapy for Menopause is a complementary approach which can work beautifully in conjunction with other medical or complementary approaches.
Q: I don’t really have any clear symptoms. I just feel a bit rubbish and stressed. Can you help?
A: Many women experience a sense of just not being themselves during menopause, and may feel fatigued, lost or down. Hypnotherapy is a very positive, forward looking therapy which has a great track record in helping boost confidence and self-esteem. If you’re not quite sure what’s wrong, but you just don’t feel like your old self, Hypnothrapy for Menopause can help you embrace your life ahead.
Q. I am interested in receiving hypnotherapy AND naturopathic support. Can I do the both together?
A: Of course! Please get in touch and ask about the Mindful Menopause Program that incorporates both of these offerings.
