Help and support

Speak to a healthcare professional

A GP, nurse or pharmacist can give you advice and help with your menopause or perimenopause symptoms.

There are also menopause specialists who have experience in supporting anyone going through perimenopause and menopause.

• Find your nearest NHS or private menopause specialist on the British Menopause Society website (this lists NHS and private specialists)

Talking therapies like counselling or CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) can help with symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. You can get NHS talking therapies without seeing a GP first.

• Find an NHS talking therapies service
