Hypnotherapy for Menopause in Nottingham
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause when your body begins to produce less oestrogen. This phase can start as early as your 30s or 40s and may last several years. Menopause itself marks the end of menstruation, occurring when you haven't had a period for 12 consecutive months. While these are natural stages of life, the symptoms can often feel overwhelming and challenging.
Causes of perimenopause and menopause
The primary cause of perimenopause and menopause is the natural decline in reproductive hormones, particularly oestrogen and progesterone. These hormonal shifts impact various systems in the body, resulting in a wide range of symptoms. While genetics, lifestyle, and overall health can influence the experience, every woman's journey is unique.
Common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause
Perimenopause and menopause can bring about a host of physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. Some common symptoms include:
- Hot flushes and night sweats, sudden feelings of intense heat that are often accompanied by sweating
- Mood changes such as increased feelings of anxiety, irritability, or sadness
- Sleep disturbances, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Fatigue and persistent tiredness, even after rest
- Brain fog, memory lapses or trouble focusing
- Weight changes and unexplained weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
- Joint and muscle pain such as aches and stiffness that seem to appear out of nowhere.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, you are not alone and there is support available.
How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, based on neuroscience, helps you to understand how your brains work and how they can get us stuck sometimes. It is a gentle yet powerful approach to managing the emotional and physical challenges of perimenopause and menopause.
A forward-looking and collaborative approach that combines talking therapy with a deep state of relaxation called hypnosis. Together, by focusing on what you want rather than what you don’t, we’ll identify small, positive steps you can take to feel better. Each session is tailored to you, creating a safe and nurturing space for your mind and body to heal and thrive.
By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state you are then able to quieten, calm and relax your conscious mind and focus on positive thoughts and suggestions that will help reframe your thinking and boost your self-esteem and confidence. Rewiring your thoughts by encouraging more positive and helpful thought patterns, you are able to feel more optimistic, calm, and in control of your life.
Calming the nervous system may help alleviate hot flushes, fatigue and even joint discomfort. Promoting deeper, more restorative sleep and helping to reduce anxiety and stress, enabling you to navigate challenges with greater ease.
Building on your strengths and successes we’ll encourage and empower you to develop more positive tools, techniques and strategies to manage mood swings and embrace a more balanced emotional state.

A transformative impact on my life
Where do I begin? I never realised how much I needed Katies support until I had the privilege of working with her. Her calm and reassuring approach immediately put me at ease. Each session was a safe space where I felt truly heard, understood, and supported.

I can't recommend this service enough
When I began hypnotherapy with Katie I was mildly sceptical and unsure of what to expect, but I noticed an improvement in my mood after even the first session. After 8 weeks I was and am totally convinced this is a lifechanging experience & practice.

A new way to approach daily life
Katie has been a huge help in giving me tools to use and a new way to approach daily life. I have had therapy in the past but this was so different - it was refreshing to not look back and drag up the past but to focus on the future.
Charlotte
Life changing for me
Hypnotherapy with Katie has been life changing for me and I say this as a person suffering with ME/CFS, FND and chronic migraine to the point where I was bedridden for most of 2024. The toolkit Katie instilled in me during our time has enabled me to have a quality of life that I never thought possible.
Kelly
Empowering
I can honestly say that working with Katie has been life-changing. The impact of the sessions has been profound. I no longer find myself stuck in procrastination, something I’ve struggled with for years. I now feel so much more capable of dealing with stress and difficult situations when they come up.
