Menopause Support
Menopause is not an illness—it is a profound life transition. Yet for many women, the physical, cognitive, emotional, and occupational impacts can be disruptive, confusing, and isolating. Occupational therapy provides practical, personalised support to help women adapt to these changes and maintain a meaningful, balanced life by using evidence-informed strategies, practical tools, and reflective coaching.
Our services focus on fatigue management, brain fog, emotional wellbeing, routine redesign, work participation, stress regulation, and identity changes associated with midlife transition.
Our service may be helpful if you are:
-
In perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause
-
Experiencing changes in energy, cognition, mood, or physical capacity
-
Not feeling “like yourself” and unsure why
-
Struggling to sustain work, leisure, routines, or roles as you once did
-
Seeking support that is practical, reflective, and whole-person—not purely medical

Note on Language
Though we use the term “woman” with reference to women’s health services, we recognise this may not be a term with which some folks identify. We acknowledge not all women have a uterus and not all birthing people identify as women. We do not limit who may access these services, and we are committed to providing care to all people, including transgender, and non-binary folks, in a safe, inclusive, non-judgemental manner.
