Non-Hormonal Menopause Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Menopause Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence based treatment for many symptoms associated with menopause. We are pleased to be the first service to offer Menopause CBT in New Zealand.
How Menopause CBT can help you?
We understand that many women want to explore non hormonal menopause treatment as either an alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or in addition to using HRT.
We offer Non-Hormonal Menopause Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) which has been approved by both the British Menopause Society and the North American Menopause Society as being an effective treatment for hot flushes, night sweats, sleep problems, insomnia, low mood, depression, anxiety, and stress. This treatment is suitable for all women including those who have had or have a family history of breast cancer.
It is important to note that Menopause CBT is different from other Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Our treating clinicians are all qualified CBT therapists who have undertaken specific training in both Menopause CBT and Menopause Care and Treatment. We provide this treatment using the framework endorsed by the British and North American Menopause Societies.

Many women who are experiencing difficult menopause symptoms will ask how they can fix their hormonal imbalance naturally. Sometimes it can be more helpful to ask a slightly different question. What natural treatments are available to help me manage difficult symptoms associated with my hormonal imbalance in menopause?
Menopause Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a natural, non- hormonal and effective treatment for several common menopause symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, low mood, depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia and sleep difficulties which have been endorsed by both The British and North American Menopause Societies.
When women experience difficult menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, low mood, depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, and sleep problems they often start to ask if they need Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Menopause symptoms are caused by fluctuating and declining hormone levels and a variety of treatment options exist to treat troublesome symptoms. These include HRT, non-hormonal medications and natural treatments such as Menopause Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) which has been
endorsed by both The British and North American Menopause Societies. Our team provide support to women with Menopause CBT.
Until recently when a woman has been able to self-manage her menopausal symptoms and transition without requiring any menopause treatment this has understandably been considered to be a major win. Our approach is different. We believe that all women who are experiencing or have experienced menopause, require specialised care and treatment regardless of whether they have troublesome symptoms or not.
The hormonal changes experienced by women during menopause often act as a catalyst to other physical health changes that significantly heighten a woman’s risk for future heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, diabetes, osteoporosis and premature death. These changes often occur during both perimenopause and menopause but are not routinely screened for medically. This causes serious physical health conditions to develop in menopausal women that are often undetected and untreated. These changes are often symptomless and progress over time with many women being unaware that these changes are occurring until they have developed conditions such as cardiovascular disease. This is the number one cause of death in women aged 60+ globally.
The good news is that these physical health changes are easily detectable and treatable to prevent long-term ill health and premature death. We know that these significant health changes are occurring during menopause and we recognise that every woman can significantly reduce her risk for future heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, diabetes, osteoporosis, poor physical ill health and potential early death through menopause health screening and lifestyle treatment. This is an important part of menopause care and treatment for all women. Our team support women with this through our menopause health checks and lifestyle treatment.
We support women with non-hormonal, natural Menopause Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), menopause health check screening and lifestyle treatment which are suitable for all women.
Early menopause can be a difficult transition for women who experience it. Multiple treatment approaches can help women with their symptoms and support them to feel well again. These include treatment with hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), non-hormonal medication treatment, natural Menopause Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and lifestyle adjustment and treatment. We help women explore and plan which treatment choices are right for them through our one-to-one consult sessions.
