We are delighted to launch this new course, providing an essential introduction for any psychological therapist working with women in midlife, in any context. While menopause affects half the population, most professional psychology training courses to date have not covered it within their curriculum. This course will provide a background to menopause transition, including biopsychosocial-cultural perspectives; an update of the UK NICE guidance and evidence-based treatments for menopause, an understanding of how to consider menopause within the assessment, formulation and treatment process (using CBT as an example); and discussion on bringing ‘menopause into the room’ more broadly.

Who is this course suitable for?

People with professional psychological training including Clinical Psychologists, Counselling Psychologists, Counsellors, CBT therapists, specialist nurses and other NHS Talking Therapies staff. We welcome international delegates, aiming to bring global perspectives into the discussion. We encourage men and anyone who feels less informed about menopause and less confident talking about it.

What will course involve?

This online course will run from 9.15-12.30 BST and involve a combination of teaching and interactive, small group experiential exercises.

By the end of the course, learners should have increased knowledge and awareness to apply when assessing and treating women going through menopause transition.
