Part of the Women’s Mental Health & Life Transitions Certification: Hormones, the Brain & Emotional Regulation1. Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is suitable for counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, coaches, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, healthcare professionals, HR and wellbeing practitioners, educators, support workers, and anyone wanting a deeper understanding of perimenopause, menopause and women's mental health. Women experiencing these life transitions are also very welcome.
2. Do I need any previous neuroscience or medical knowledge?
No. The workshop is designed to make neuroscience accessible and practical. Complex concepts are explained in clear, easy-to-understand language without assuming prior scientific knowledge.
3. Is this workshop evidence-based?
Yes. The training is neuroscience-informed, trauma-informed and grounded in current research from psychology, neuroscience, endocrinology, women's health and stress physiology. A full reference list is provided within the course materials.
4. What topics are covered?
The workshop explores:
- Perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause
- Hormones and the brain
- Brain fog and memory changes
- Anxiety, low mood and emotional regulation
- Sleep and fatigue
- Trauma and chronic stress
- The nervous system
- Inflammation and brain health
- Practical regulation strategies
- Treatment options, including an overview of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
5. Is this a medical training course?
No. This is an educational workshop designed to improve understanding of the neuroscience and psychology of perimenopause and menopause. It is not intended to diagnose conditions or replace personalised medical advice. Participants should always consult an appropriate healthcare professional regarding their own health and treatment options.
6. Will Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) be discussed?
Yes. The workshop includes an evidence-informed overview of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), including different types, potential benefits, risks and current clinical understanding. The course also explores non-hormonal approaches that may support emotional wellbeing and brain health.
7. Will we learn practical strategies?
Absolutely.
One of the strengths of this workshop is translating neuroscience into practical tools. You'll leave with regulation strategies, wellbeing techniques and a structured framework that can be applied immediately in practice or daily life.
8. Is this suitable for therapists working with clients?
Yes.
Many therapists report feeling underprepared when supporting women experiencing hormonal transitions. This workshop provides a neuroscience-informed framework to better understand and support clients experiencing emotional, cognitive and psychological changes during midlife.
9. Can women experiencing perimenopause or menopause attend even if they are not professionals?
Absolutely.
Although many participants are professionals, the workshop is also suitable for women wanting to better understand their own experiences and learn practical ways to support their mental wellbeing.
10. Is the workshop interactive?
Yes.
This is a live online interactive workshop rather than a pre-recorded course. Throughout the day there will be opportunities for questions, reflection exercises, practical activities, group discussions and a final case study exercise.
11. Will the session be recorded?
Please refer to the course information for the specific event. Where recordings are available, participants will be informed before the workshop.
12. Will I receive a certificate?
Yes.
Participants who attend the workshop will receive a Certificate of Attendance. The course also contributes towards the Women's Mental Health & Life Transitions Certification: Hormones, the Brain & Emotional Regulation.
13. How long is the workshop?
The workshop runs from 10:00 AM until 4:30 PM (UK time), with scheduled comfort breaks and a lunch break.
14. What makes this course different from other menopause training?
Many menopause courses focus primarily on hormones or symptom management.
This workshop takes a broader neuroscience-informed and trauma-informed approach, exploring how hormonal changes interact with the brain, nervous system, stress response, inflammation, sleep, cognition and emotional regulation. Participants gain both scientific understanding and practical strategies that can be applied immediately.
15. Will the workshop discuss anxiety, depression and brain fog?
Yes.
These are some of the most common concerns raised during perimenopause and menopause. We'll explore why they occur, what current neuroscience tells us, and practical ways to support emotional regulation and cognitive wellbeing.
16. Will trauma be discussed?
Yes.
Research suggests that previous trauma, chronic stress and adverse life experiences may influence how some women experience perimenopause and menopause. This workshop explores these connections using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach.
17. Will I receive course materials?
Yes.
Participants receive a comprehensive digital workbook containing key learning points, practical exercises, reflection activities and additional resources to support continued learning.
18. Is this suitable for workplaces and organisations?
Yes.
Many organisations are recognising the importance of improving menopause awareness and supporting women's wellbeing in the workplace. This training provides valuable knowledge for managers, HR professionals, occupational health teams and workplace wellbeing initiatives.
19. What will I be able to do after attending?
By the end of the workshop you will have a clearer understanding of how hormonal transitions affect the brain, emotions and nervous system. You will also feel more confident supporting yourself or others using evidence-informed, compassionate and practical approaches.
20. How do I reserve my place?
