SOME EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH
Proven Support Through CBT
Research has shown that women spend approximately one-third of their lives in menopause (Charmchi et al., 2016). Fortunately, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) have proven effective in managing menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes and night sweats (Ayers et al., 2012).
Studies have demonstrated that group CBT sessions can significantly improve quality of life for women experiencing menopausal transitions (Moghadam et al., 2019; Soori et al., 2019).
At Insightful Counselling, we understand the importance of support during this phase of life. Mhairi Jerga, a Master of Counselling graduate specialising in CBT, offers group therapy sessions designed to provide a safe, confidential environment for women seeking additional support.
OUR GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS AIM TO:
- Provide a supportive community of women sharing similar experiences
- Offer evidence-based strategies to help manage symptoms of menopause
- Enhance overall quality of life during this transition
- Address menopausal anxiety and stress levels
- Promote mental wellness therapy for menopause through CBT techniques
If you're looking for a compassionate, empathetic approach to addressing menopausal challenges, consider joining our group therapy sessions.
Whether you're struggling with emotional well-being, stress, or looking for counselling support, our sessions offer practical guidance to help you navigate this stage with greater ease and confidence.
Note: These sessions are intended as a complementary support and should not replace medical consultation. It is always advisable to consult a trusted GP to discuss your symptoms and explore appropriate medical options, should this be needed.

About the Program
This group program will provide healing for participants to learn to be themselves.
To put it dramatically, one can disguise as oneself which can aid self-discovery.
Each one of us wants to get our needs met, whether it’s intimacy, attention, connection, recognition, respect, care, companionship, or love.
The main goal of this group work will be to focus on self, to identify maladaptive thinking, feeling and behaviour patterns (often known to us as relational “blind spots”), in a safe, supportive environment and to find more adaptive ways to connect with others to get our needs met.
Anisha uses a good blend of Non Violent Communication skills, Process work and Transactional Analysis to help navigate conversations. No prior knowledge is required.
