Emotional Wellbeing & Menopause Support
At Holden Place Therapy, Claire supports emotional wellbeing through life’s many shifts and challenges. Her work often involves helping people find steadiness when anxiety, low mood, or a sense of overwhelm begins to take hold. Sometimes these feelings appear after loss or trauma, but often they surface quietly, through stress, change, or simply the pace of modern life.
Many of the people Claire works with are navigating the hormonal and emotional shifts of perimenopause or menopause. They are noticing shifts in mood, energy, anxiety and self-confidence that can feel disorienting and hard to explain. Claire’s specialist experience in this area helps her understand how profoundly this transistion can affect your sense of identity, your relationships and your day-to-day life. You don’t have to make sense of it alone.
Claire’s approach focuses on helping you make sense of what you’re feeling and why. In session you and Claire can explore patterns of thought and emotion, build emotional regulation skills, and reconnect you with sources of meaning, pleasure, and rest. Therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and rediscover a sense of balance and self-trust.
Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, struggling with anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck, Claire offers a calm and supportive environment to help you move towards greater clarity, confidence, and wellbeing, at your own pace and in your own way.
