CBT for Hormonal Changes: A Compassionate Path to Thriving Through your monthly cycles, perimenopause and menopause with Joanna Hogan CBT Therapists

Writer: Joanna HoganJoanna Hogan



NEW CBT WOMEN'S CLINIC NOW OPEN AT THE AMARA CLINIC, TUNBRIDGE WELLS


Are you feeling overwhelmed by the effects of hormonal changes? Whether it’s the emotional ups and downs of your monthly cycle, the unpredictable shifts during perimenopause, or the challenges of menopause, fluctuating hormones can impact both your mental and physical well-being. But imagine feeling more in control, balanced, and supported through these natural transitions.


That’s where Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) comes in—an evidence-based, practical approach that can truly make a difference in navigating the complexities of hormonal shifts.


How CBT Helps During Hormonal Shifts

Hormonal fluctuations are part of every woman’s life, especially during key transitions like monthly cycles, perimenopause, and menopause. These changes can lead to increased anxiety, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and physical symptoms like hot flushes or night sweats. The cumulative effect of these can leave you feeling overwhelmed and losing your usual zest for life.


CBT offers a powerful solution. At Joanna Hogan’s CBT women's clinic we provide you with the practical tools to manage the mental and physical challenges of hormonal changes. CBT isn't just about understanding your emotions—it’s about giving you concrete strategies to manage the mental and physical symptoms that can come with hormonal fluctuations.


By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, CBT empowers you to gain control over your responses. This is especially important for women who might also be neurodivergent, such as those with ADHD or autistic women, or who are already managing anxiety or depression—women for whom hormonal shifts can feel more intense.


The science behind CBT's effectiveness for menopausal issues is clear, with extensive clinically based trials backing its ability to alleviate low mood, anxiety, insomnia, and even physical symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has endorsed CBT as a recommended approach for managing menopause.

 

Integrated Care: A Proven Approach for Menopausal Issues

The integration of CBT with other wellness practices is key to ensuring that women receive comprehensive care. The power of CBT is truly amplified when it’s integrated with care from other health experts. At Joanna Hogan Therapists, we work closely with your G.P and with the gynaecologists at the excellent CQC-accredited Amara Clinic in Tunbridge Wells to provide a holistic, integrated care approach that addresses both mental and physical health. By combining CBT with hormonal management, lifestyle advice, and open communication with your healthcare team, you can navigate hormonal change, perimenopause and menopause in a more balanced, supported way.


This integrated support gives you the tools to not only survive these transitions but thrive through them.
