Are you seeking to expand your expertise in addressing the emotional challenges induced by the hormonal changes during the menopausal transition?
For those who want to learn how to work effectively with women experiencing psychological difficulties due to the menopausal transition, we are offering the EMBERS® Professional Training Programme (PTP).
Details about this trainingThe EMBERS® Menopause-Informed CBT Model is a six-stage psychological framework which I have developed and used in my clinical practice since 2019.
This framework draws upon evidence-based principles from various psychological approaches, including elements from third-wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) methodologies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Emotion Efficacy Therapy (EET).
The EMBERS® Menopause-Informed framework aligns with the bio-psycho-sociocultural model, is underpinned by the principles of Lifestyle Medicine, and is informed by a neuroscientific understanding of how menopause impacts both the brain and the mind.
This model aims to target a range of psychological processes that can become imbalanced during the menopausal transition which when addressed, women will benefit from improved emotional regulation, enhanced psychological flexibility, and increased day-to-day functioning.

I’m Simona Stokes, Menopause Counselling Psychologist and the Founder of Menopause CBT Clinic®.
The Menopause CBT Clinic® was born out of my deeply held belief that all women who enter the peri/menopause stage of life should be prepared and equipped to embrace it with confidence and self-belief in their own strength and wisdom.
My mission is to help women overcome their emotional difficulties caused by the menopause transition, by combining my over 20years experience in mental health with the latest knowledge in the field of menopause, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, neuroscience and behavioural science. My menopause work is infused with learning from my own personal peri/menopausal struggles, melded with my clinical and life experience.
