Learn how to support clients through menopause using evidence-based strategies, inclusive language, and psychoeducation

Menopause is a significant yet often misunderstood transition in many individuals’ lives. While it brings profound biological, emotional, and psychological changes, it remains surrounded by stigma, silence, and misinformation. This course offers professionals the knowledge and tools to support clients navigating menopause with empathy, evidence, and confidence.

Created for psychologists, therapists, nurses, educators, social workers, and wellbeing professionals, the course explores the hormonal and cognitive shifts of perimenopause and menopause, the wide range of physical and emotional symptoms, and the impact of cultural narratives. It also provides practical guidance on inclusive communication, validation, and psychoeducation to help clients feel heard and empowered.

The course is delivered by Helen McGillivray, a highly experienced healthcare professional with over 25 years of clinical experience in the NHS and private sectors. Helen holds qualifications in both general and mental health nursing, as well as a postgraduate diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Accredited by the BABCP, she specialises in trauma, psychological flexibility, and women’s health, particularly the psychological impact of menopause. Helen also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work and has developed a structured ACT-based protocol to support women during this life stage.

Helen currently serves as the Director of Compass Therapy, Clinical Director at OKPositive, and as Secretary of the ACBS UK & ROI Chapter. Her compassionate, evidence-based approach makes this course a rich learning experience for professionals ready to enhance their support for clients experiencing menopause.
