This is where a different approach begins

Personalised support for high-achieving women who want to feel like themselves again.

You’re not imagining it - this is harder than it should be.

I support professional women navigating the emotional and psychological impact of peri-menopause.

Many accomplished women find that, around this stage of life:

  • Confidence and self-trust feel shaken, even when everything looks fine externally

  • Anxiety, irritability, or overwhelm appear out of nowhere

  • Energy is low, focus is harder to maintain, and rest never feels restorative

  • Life feels like it’s asking for more than you can give

This isn’t a personal failing - it’s a common effect of peri-menopause and life’s pressures combining, and it’s something you can navigate with the right support.

  • “Working with Menah has been a transformative experience for me. Her insights and guidance helped me navigate through some of the toughest challenges in my life. I feel more empowered and equipped to handle whatever comes my way.”

  • "Through tailored strategies and insightful guidance, I gained not only clarity about my feelings but also practical tools to manage stress and anxiety. Menah encouraged me to explore my thoughts deeply, and I began to see my challenges in a new light, empowering me to take control of my life."

  • "Since I started therapy, I've seen significant boosts in my self-esteem and emotional resilience. I now feel more equipped to navigate life's ups and downs with confidence."

  • "If you’re considering therapy, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Menah. Her expertise and genuine care will guide you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery. You’ll not only find support but also the confidence to embrace the future with hope and resilience."

  • “Menah has a warm, calm and friendly demeanour and even though therapy took a lot of hard work, Menah was there every step of the way to guide me. I now feel much more positive about the future."

  • “The idea of therapy was a slightly daunting one but Menah made the process really comfortable right from the first session. I really can’t thank her enough for the work we have done and the incredibly positive difference it has made.”

I provide a holistic approach to mental wellness, where I offer a unique blend of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and coaching, tailored specifically for the peri‑menopausal transition.

Together we will focus on:

  • Understanding and learn to manage the emotional and physical changes

  • Rebuilding confidence, self‑trust, and resilience

  • Managing overwhelm, anxiety, and self‑criticism

  • Creating sustainable strategies for work, relationships, and life - without sacrificing ambition or purpose

We will work collaboratively to support you long‑term, not just get you through the week.

Hello, I’m Menah

I am a qualified coach, CBT therapist, EMDR therapist, and Occupational Therapist. I have 17 years’ experience working in various mental health settings as a coach, therapist, manager and clinical supervisor, within the NHS and in private practice.

I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds, including charity leaders across the world, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals.

My core values are trust, respect, integrity, accountability, and compassion.

I hold a PhD from Queen Mary, University of London, focusing on migrant women’s experiences with UK immigration detention and mental health.

My mixed heritage (British and Mauritian) enriches my life, and I love hiking, sea swimming, and caring for my many houseplants.
