If hot flushes and night sweats are disrupting your sleep, catching you off guard at work, or making you feel like you have lost control of your own body — you are not alone. And there is something that can genuinely help. The CBT programme is a six-session programme that teaches you practical skills to understand and manage your symptoms. Think of it as learning how to work with your body rather than against it. Recommended by NICE Guidelines and based on NHS research — it is not therapy. You simply need to show up.   How does it work? The way we think about hot flushes — the dread, the frustration, the anxiety about the next one — can actually make them more frequent and intense. The programme helps you break that cycle by changing how your mind and body respond, so symptoms have less power over your day.   What will I learn? •      Why hot flushes and night sweats happen and what is going on in your body •      How stress and anxiety can make symptoms worse •      Practical techniques to calm your body's response in the moment •      Ways to improve sleep disrupted by night sweats •      How to manage symptoms at work and in daily life •      A personal plan you keep long after the programme ends   Will it work for me? This programme suits any woman experiencing hot flushes and night sweats — whether occasional or relentless, on HRT or not. Many women combine it with HRT and find it works really well alongside. No prior knowledge needed.   1:1 or group? Both cover exactly the same content. The 1:1 programme is private and moves at your pace. The group programme adds something extra — the reassurance of shared experience and the connections that naturally form when women come together around the same thing.   Scope note — please read before booking

This approach is recommended by NICE (guideline NG23) for the management of menopausal symptoms. The evidence comes from NHS randomised controlled trials. Fiona delivers the programme following British Menopause Society training.

The programme runs over 6 structured sessions, covering: understanding how hot flushes work; the role of thoughts, stress and anxiety; behavioural strategies for managing flushes; sleep, mood and wellbeing; and building a long-term self-management plan. Sessions are available individually (1:1) and in small groups. The CBT programme is a partnership between us. I will give you the knowledge, the tools and the support — but the skills only work when you use them. Between sessions there will be some simple practice tasks and a little written reflection to complete. Nothing overwhelming, nothing complicated — but genuinely important. You do not have to be perfect. You do not have to get it right every time. You just have to be willing to try. That willingness is what makes the difference.
