My approach is grounded first and foremost in my role as a Registered Nurse and in evidence-based guidance for women’s health.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as an effective non-pharmacological approach for managing menopause symptoms, particularly hot flushes and night sweats. This guidance underpins the way I support women at Aroma Therapie Suite.

I have completed specialist training with the British Menopause Society in CBT approaches for menopause symptoms. This training enables me to deliver structured, evidence-based psychoeducation programmes that teach women practical skills to better understand and manage what is happening in their bodies.

It is important to be clear: this is not therapy and it is not counselling.

This is a nurse-led, educational programme where women learn:
•    Why hot flushes and night sweats happen 
•    How thoughts, stress and the nervous system influence symptoms 
•    Practical CBT-based techniques to reduce the intensity and impact of symptoms 
•    Skills they can use independently long after the programme ends 

Alongside this, my qualifications as an AoR Reflexologist and IFA Aromatherapist allow me to support women’s relaxation and nervous system regulation through therapeutic treatments, complementing the educational work with restorative care.

This integrated approach means women are not only cared for — they are equipped. They leave with understanding, confidence and tools that improve their quality of life in a meaningful, lasting way.
