Mental Wellbeing in Mid-Life
Your path to greater wellbeing
For women, middle and later- life years during which their mental wellbeing can be easily undermined by the changes of perimenopause and menopause, and the additional demands and stresses of juggling challenging personal , family and work lives.
Some of our difficulties are caused as a direct result of the changes to our bodies and brains during menopause year, but for some women menopause can re-awaken pre-existing difficulties.
Regardless of the origins, this can result in real and lasting distress with important consequences that can determine the quality of our much later life and old age.
Mental wellbeing mentoring is for women who are not in crisis, but who struggle to manage issues that undermine their ability to thrive. Women are active in the workplace for much longer than previous generations and poor mental wellbeing can undermine their future opportunities.
Based on recognised therapeutic principles, it brings practical solutions to enable you to identify your strengths as well as difficulties, develop the tools and strategies to achieve the outcomes you want in a safe, accepting, supportive and skilful relationship.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
You may not fully know at the start of our work what kind of support is best suited to your needs. This is because sometimes deeper issues merge as the work progresses however, despite by dual training I am not able to ethically offer to be both your counsellor and mentor.
If, during our mentoring work, it becomes apparent that there are underlying needs that are best suited to a therapeutic intervention (such as clinical depression, complex trauma, or acute anxiety), I have a duty of care to discuss this with you, and in such instances, we may pause our mentoring work so that you can seek appropriate counselling or medical support, as it is not ethically appropriate to use mentoring as a "work-around" for therapy.
I will support you to identify the right services for you and the referral process.
