Women’s life stages

Puberty

Puberty can be an emotionally intense and confusing time, with rapid physical development, hormonal shifts and evolving identity. Many young people experience heightened sensitivity, anxiety, mood changes and questions about self-image during this stage. Psychological support during puberty can help build emotional regulation skills, strengthen self-esteem and provide a safe space to explore changing relationships and expectations.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy often brings a mix of excitement and vulnerability. Hormonal changes, physical discomfort and shifting roles can influence mood, anxiety levels and relationship dynamics. Emotional support during pregnancy can assist with managing uncertainty, preparing for parenthood and addressing fears related to birth, identity and lifestyle changes.

Postpartum

The postpartum period involves significant adjustment, including sleep disruption, physical recovery and identity changes. Some women experience low mood, anxiety, overwhelm or difficulty bonding, while others feel unexpected grief or loss of independence. Early psychological support can promote emotional stability, strengthen coping strategies and reduce the risk of longer-term postnatal mental health concerns.

Perimenopause

Perimenopause can bring fluctuating hormones that impact mood, concentration, sleep and stress tolerance. Women may notice increased irritability, anxiety or reduced resilience during this transitional stage. Support during perimenopause focuses on understanding these changes, strengthening emotional regulation and navigating evolving roles, relationships and self-perception with confidence and clarity.

Navigating hormonal and life stage changes

Hormonal transitions such as puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause can significantly affect mood, anxiety levels and stress tolerance. We provide compassionate psychological support for menopause and structured counselling for hormonal changes, helping women better understand and navigate the emotional impact of fluctuating hormones.

Our approach also includes female life stage counselling, supporting women through transitions such as becoming a parent, career changes, relationship shifts or caring responsibilities. Therapy focuses on strengthening resilience, fostering self-understanding and supporting emotional regulation. Feel steadier and more supported as you move through life’s changes.

Trauma informed women’s therapy in Geelong

Many women have experienced trauma, including relationship trauma, family violence or past adverse events. We offer trauma informed women’s therapy, ensuring that care is grounded in safety, collaboration and empowerment.

This approach acknowledges the broader social and cultural context of women’s mental health while supporting recovery, boundary setting and emotional stability.
