Nicola Pendregaust Counselling | Menopause Counsellor in Sevenoaks, Kent

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite like yourself, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate menopause on your own.

I’m Nicola, a qualified counsellor specialising in supporting women through perimenopause and post-menopause. I work with women who are experiencing emotional, psychological and identity shifts during this stage of life — helping you make sense of what’s happening and regain a sense of control.

Menopause can affect far more than just your body. You may notice changes in your mood, confidence, relationships, or even your sense of purpose. Together, we create a safe and supportive space to explore these changes, understand their impact, and develop practical ways to move forward.

My approach is menopause-informed and grounded in psychological care. I use a blend of counselling, coaching and therapeutic techniques to support you in:

· Managing anxiety, overwhelm and emotional ups and downs

· Rebuilding confidence and self-esteem

· Improving sleep and reducing mental load

· Understanding how hormonal changes affect thoughts and behaviours

· Navigating relationships, career challenges and identity shifts

· Processing past experiences that may resurface during menopause

 

I offer EMBERS® Menopause-Informed Psychological Care, a structured approach designed to support women experiencing the emotional and psychological challenges associated with perimenopause and menopause. The EMBERS® framework integrates evidence-based psychological approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), with insights from neuroscience and lifestyle medicine. This approach helps women understand the interaction between hormonal changes, brain health, emotional wellbeing, lifestyle factors, and life context. Through this approach, women develop practical strategies to regain a sense of control over their mind, body, and life during menopause and beyond. The EMBERS® approach was developed by Menopause CBT Clinic®.

Whether you’re struggling with brain fog, low mood, stress, or simply feel disconnected from yourself, my aim is to help you feel calmer, clearer and more like you again.

Sessions are available online, by phone, or face-to-face in Sevenoaks.
