TALKWORKS for Menopause

Free six week course from the NHS

Are you experiencing any physical or emotional side effects as a result of menopause? If so, you are not alone, and support is available.

Our six week CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) For Menopause course is free for adults across Devon (outside Plymouth) and aims to provide information, strategies and techniques to reduce the impact of symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. The weekly sessions are two hours long and will include time for participants to share experiences of their symptoms, as well as learning how to apply CBT techniques to improve your symptoms.

The courses will be running for six weeks online via MS Teams (one session per week) from the following dates:

Date  Time
Tuesday 8 July 17:00
Tuesday 19 August 15:00
Tuesday 21 October 15:00

 

While we encourage participants to take part in discussions and exercises, it is not mandatory and there is no pressure to join in.

One participant who attended our course said: "It was amazing. It was so generous of everyone to share so much of their experiences. I went home last night and began to feel ‘normal’ and ‘less alone’."

If you feel this course could be helpful to you, please call our team today on 0300 555 3344 to book your free place.


Your experience with us

Your feedback matters

“The therapy gently supported me to both understand and come to terms with my diagnosis and how it has impacted on me as a person for so many years. I felt I could be open and honest in a very safe space. I not only feel better, I understand myself better too.”

“I was apprehensive about using the service thinking I wasn't "bad" enough but a talk to the cardiac group by a TALKWORKS practitioner gave me confidence to self-refer. I was referred with respect and taken seriously throughout, felt safe and was given tools and advice to help myself take control of my situation.”

“I could not fault the service I received. I was listened to and given so many different resources to help my anxiety and depression. I was so very low a year ago but with the amazing support from my therapist I feel more and more myself every day. Thank you TALKWORKS.”
