At Women First Healthcare we understand that menopause can have a significant impact on mental and emotional wellbeing. Our specialist team provides compassionate, individualised support, always respecting your choices and preferences. We offer guidance on therapies, lifestyle adjustments, and, where appropriate, medical treatment options such as medication — all designed to support your mental and emotional resilience throughout this transition, in a safe and empowering environment.
Hormone fluctuations are widely accepted as part of female fertility, and yet it is only recently that the impact these fluctuations have on mental health has been prioritised. Oestrogen and progesterone are not just related to reproduction—receptors for these hormones are throughout the brain. Yet specialist input for women’s mental health in the context of the menstrual cycle and menopause is still not consistent or widely available. Our team at Women First Healthcare aims to explore and support clients’ physical, psychological and mental health while recognising the impact of their hormonal changes on all these aspects.
If you require specialist treatment our team can create an individualised treatment plan with you, which may include medication prescribing, mental health treatment or support and/or psychological therapy to help you to manage symptoms, the first step would be:
Initial assessment with one of our specialist Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Advanced Nurse Practitioners or Registered Mental Health Nurses.
OR
If you feel a physical health review would be helpful, we can arrange an initial assessment with a specialist menopause service or a private GP as a first step.
Menopause care for survivors of cancer can be complex and may require specialist input. Following assessment with our team we may be able to help arrange remote appointments with a trusted expert in this field.
Individualised treatment plan, unique to you which may include:
Medication prescribing to improve your mental health symptoms.
Psychological treatment to help you to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Ongoing follow up, review and support throughout your journey to improving your quality of life.
Please note: All appointments are conducted online. If you have any questions about this, feel free to get in touch.
