Over the coming months I'll also be sharing details of my free Foundations of Menopause-Informed Psychological Care training for mental health professionals. Keep an eye on your inbox!
I’m Simona Stokes, a Counselling Psychologist with 25+ years’ experience in mental health and founder of the Menopause CBT Clinic®.
Â
My own menopause journey changed everything. It opened my eyes to the fact that traditional therapy approaches simply weren’t enough. Women in this transition need and deserve more - an approach that honours and reflects their lived experience.
Â
That’s why in 2019 I developed the EMBERS® Menopause CBT Framework and coined the term Menopause-Informed Psychological Care to describe a new approach that places the menopausal context at the heart of therapeutic practice.
Â
Since then:
- EMBERS® has been refined into a practical, step-by-step system that bridges CBT, neuroscience, and lifestyle medicine.Â
- I’ve supported hundreds of women through emotional difficulties like anxiety, low mood, and overwhelm caused by the menopausal transition.
- I’ve trained clinicians across the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia.
- Professionals who’ve trained with me are already applying it in clinical work and seeing powerful results.
