By Margaret Turner: Your Specialist in Menopausal Symptom Relief
The menopause is a natural biological transition. But its symptoms—from hot flushes and insomnia to anxiety and brain fog—can be deeply disruptive. Fortunately, you don't have to rely solely on medication to find relief. We provide Research-Backed Treatment. In fact a review published in the British Medical Journal concluded that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Hypnotherapy are among the most effective non-hormonal treatments for symptoms like hot flushes.
As an experienced therapist and qualified Hypno Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, Margaret Turner has been helping women navigate this "Change of Life" for years. She offers proven alternative therapies to manage the emotional and physical effects. Now you can receive targeted, compassionate support from our therapy room in Retford, North Nottinghamshire. This location is ideal for clients in Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire. And for clients further afield we provide treatment worldwide via Zoom.
Understanding Menopause and Its Symptoms
The menopause typically occurs around age 51 (between 40 and 55) when a woman hasn't had a period for 12 months. This results from a natural decrease in oestrogen and progesterone. While every woman's journey is unique, common menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms that we can help you manage include:
- Physical: Hot Flushes, Night Sweats, Insomnia, Headaches, Weight Gain, Lack of Libido, Vaginal Dryness.
- Emotional/Cognitive: Anxiety, Irritability, Brain Fog (difficulty concentrating), Mood Swings, Stress, and Worry.
How Hypnotherapy and EFT Can Help You Find Relief
Margaret uses a targeted, multi-session approach to address the specific emotional and psychological effects of the menopause. It usually consists of four to five sessions. She utilizes a powerful combination of therapeutic techniques:
- Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH): A proven method that works with your mind to change how you perceive and react to symptoms, such as the onset and intensity of hot flushes.
- Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT): A gentle technique used to reduce the intensity of emotional distress and anxiety associated with menopausal changes.
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): Techniques used to help you change limiting beliefs and positively reframe your experience. This helps you release your potential both physically and mentally.
Ongoing Support: Your Weekly MP3 Recording
After each session, you will receive a personalised MP3 recording to listen to weekly. This provides continued support, reinforces therapeutic suggestions, and helps manage symptoms. It also ensures you get some much-deserved 'me time' and mental calm.
