If you work with women navigating midlife and menopause and you want to feel confident, connected, and clinically effective, you’re in the right place. Your path to professional menopause expertise starts HERE!
Join NOWWhy Menopause Mastermind Exists Â
Psychological care for women during the menopausal transition is complex and nuanced. Many clinicians recognise the importance of menopause-informed psychological care, Â but there are limited specialist resources, peer support spaces, and ongoing professional development opportunities available.
The result? You’re left piecing things together on your own, uncertain whether you’re offering best-in-field care or missing critical insights that could transform your clients’ outcomes.
Â
That Stops HERE
Menopause Mastermind is a professional membership designed to support clinicians like you with expert guidance, ongoing learning, and a thriving community so that you can:
- confidently support midlife women
- apply evidence-based, menopause-specific psychological strategies
- connect with peers and specialists across disciplines
- elevate your clinical practice with real-world case discussions

I feel the EMBERS® model is incredibly thorough [....] and this is exactly the type of process/framework women need to guide them back to feeling restored and a new version of themselves.
Helen - Clinical Psychologist
Simona has a wealth of knowledge and passion for this topic and more training would be wonderful.
Diane - Psychotherapist
I really enjoyed attending this course and learning about the EMBERS model and strategies; I found Simona's style very enjoyable as she created a good space for open discussion.
Zoe - Psychologist
I really appreciate how much reading and research you have done on this area. I appreciated how much of this knowledge you were able to share with us. I have really valued the training and opportunity to learn.
Annette - Mental Health Professional
I am really valuing all the reading you have done and how all your learning and knowledge have been assimilated into the EMBERS® model.
Christine - Psychotherapist
Really love that I have all the information available in one framework, I have done a lot of work on menopause research myself and love all the references that Simona refers to and now I have it all in one place to refer to, so thank you Simona!
Bev - CBT Therapist
I got huge knowledge from Simona. I really appreciate all the research and work that has gone into this training.
Debbie - Psychologist
Excellent session! Simona presented as being incredibly knowledgeable and caring. She delivered the information in an accessible way, quite a challenge for the volume of areas to cover.
Suzanne - CBT Therapist
I’m Simona Stokes, a Counselling Psychologist with 25+ years’ experience in mental health and founder of the Menopause CBT Clinic®.
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.
