MentalHealth&EmotionalWellbeing

When life feels heavy, confusing or overwhelming, the right support can help you feel less alone

Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing

When life feels heavy, confusing or overwhelming, the right support can help you feel less alone

Start with support, not pressure

You do not have to wait until you are at breaking point. Support can begin with one honest conversation.

Many people seek therapy because they feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, low in confidence, affected by past experiences, or unsure how to move forward.

At The Women’s Health Clinic, our mental health and emotional wellbeing service brings together psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, trauma-informed support, neurodiversity-informed therapy, menopause-aware emotional wellbeing, and resilience training.

Confidential, therapy-based support. Not a crisis or emergency mental health service.

What people often tell us

Support for the things that are hard to explain

You do not need to have the perfect words before asking for help.

“I feel overwhelmed all the time, but I do not know where to start.”

“I am coping on the outside, but inside I feel anxious, exhausted or disconnected.”

“Something from the past still affects how I feel, react or relate to people now.”

“Menopause, health changes or intimacy concerns have affected my confidence and sense of self.”

We listen first

We begin with what you are experiencing, what feels difficult, and what kind of support may feel manageable.

We match support carefully

Psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, trauma-informed support or resilience training may suit different needs.

We stay within safe scope

We provide therapy-based support. If your needs are urgent, complex or outside our service, we will signpost appropriately.

People often get in touch because of one or several of these

You do not need to know which therapy route is right. That is what the first conversation is for.

Mental health, therapy and emotional wellbeing

Therapy support shaped around you

Mental health support is not one single pathway. Some people need a safe reflective space to explore patterns, trauma, relationships or identity. Others need practical tools for anxiety, panic, grief, confidence or nervous system regulation.

At The Women’s Health Clinic, we bring together psychotherapy, counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, trauma-informed approaches, neurodiversity-informed care, women’s health-related emotional wellbeing, and resilience training.

We do not provide crisis, emergency, psychiatric or diagnostic mental health services. Our focus is therapy-based support, careful matching, clear boundaries and appropriate signposting where another service is more suitable.

Common reasons people enquire

Anxiety, panic, grief, trauma, low confidence, relationship stress, neurodiversity, menopause-related emotional wellbeing, emotional overwhelm and life transitions.

What may be discussed

Psychotherapy, counselling, CBT-informed support, EMDR, EFT, clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, BLAST, nervous system regulation and resilience training.

Educational only. This page is not a diagnosis or personal mental health advice. Suitability for therapy is discussed individually. If you feel at immediate risk, contact emergency services, NHS urgent support, your GP, or Samaritans.

Not sure which pathway is right?

You do not need to decide before getting in touch.

Your first conversation can help clarify whether psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, resilience training or another form of support may be more appropriate. If your needs fall outside our service, we will explain that clearly and signpost you safely.

Concerns we support

What our mental health and emotional wellbeing service can support

People often arrive with more than one concern. Anxiety may sit alongside trauma, menopause, grief, relationship stress, neurodiversity, health changes or low confidence. We help you find the right therapy-based route.

If your needs are urgent, high-risk, diagnostic, psychiatric or outside our therapy-based service, we will explain this clearly and signpost you to more appropriate support.

When another service may be more appropriate

WHC Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing is a therapy-based service. We do not provide crisis care, emergency mental health support, psychiatric diagnosis, prescription-based mental health treatment, forensic work or formal diagnostic assessments.

Why? Women’s health and emotional wellbeing

When physical symptoms affect emotional wellbeing

Emotional wellbeing is often affected by what is happening in the body. Menopause, perimenopause, cancer treatment, intimate discomfort, urinary symptoms, painful sex, vaginal dryness, body confidence and sexual confidence can all influence how a woman feels about herself, her relationships and her future.

Why WHC is different

This service sits inside a women’s health clinic, not a generic therapy setting. That means we understand that emotional distress may be connected to hormonal change, intimate health, sexual wellbeing, medical history, cancer survivorship, fertility concerns, body image or the experience of not feeling like yourself.

women’s health context therapy-based support sensitive conversations no judgement

The emotional side is real

Painful sex, vaginal dryness, urinary leakage, reduced confidence, menopause changes or cancer-treatment-related symptoms can affect mood, intimacy, relationships, identity and day-to-day confidence.

Support can sit alongside medical care

Therapy does not replace medical assessment or treatment. It can support the emotional side of living with symptoms, making decisions, rebuilding confidence and processing change.

Menopause and perimenopause

Hormonal transition can affect mood, sleep, confidence, emotional regulation, identity, relationships and the sense of feeling like yourself. Therapy can help you process the emotional impact and develop practical support strategies.

ADHD and perimenopause

Some women notice that focus, overwhelm, emotional regulation, sleep, motivation or confidence becomes harder during perimenopause. Neurodiversity-informed support can help you understand patterns and build realistic systems.

Painful sex and intimacy concerns

Pain, dryness, fear, avoidance or reduced sexual confidence can affect relationships and self-worth. Therapy can support the emotional impact while medical concerns are assessed and managed appropriately.

Urinary symptoms and confidence

Urinary leakage, urgency or embarrassment can affect exercise, social life, intimacy and confidence. Emotional wellbeing support can help with the anxiety, avoidance or loss of confidence that may develop around symptoms.

Cancer survivorship and treatment changes

Cancer treatment, tamoxifen, body changes, vaginal atrophy, altered intimacy or fear of recurrence can affect emotional wellbeing. Support may help with grief, confidence, identity and rebuilding trust in the body.

Body image and sexual confidence

Changes in body confidence, intimate confidence, sexual self-esteem or the way a person sees themselves can be deeply personal. Therapy offers space to explore this without shame or pressure.

Common emotional themes we may support

The concern may begin with a physical symptom, a hormonal change, a health event, a relationship difficulty or a past experience. The emotional impact may show up in many different ways.

feeling unlike yourself loss of confidence avoidance relationship strain fear around intimacy body image worries health-related anxiety emotional overwhelm grief for changed health rebuilding trust in the body

Therapy-based support does not replace medical assessment. If symptoms may need medical review, we will explain this and guide you appropriately.

What is it?

What is mental health and emotional wellbeing support?

Mental health support can mean different things depending on what you are experiencing. For some people, it is a space to talk, reflect and understand patterns. For others, it is practical support for anxiety, panic, trauma responses, grief, confidence or emotional regulation.

At WHC, our focus is therapy-based support. We do not treat mental health as one single route. We help you understand which kind of support may be most appropriate for your needs, goals and circumstances.

Psychotherapy and counselling

Psychotherapy and counselling provide a confidential space to explore what you are feeling, what has shaped you, and how current difficulties may connect with past experiences, relationships, identity, culture, family context or life transitions.

This pathway may suit people looking for deeper reflective work, trauma-informed support, relationship understanding, neurodiversity-informed therapy, menopause-related emotional wellbeing or support through complex life changes.

talking therapy reflective work safe space

Clinical hypnotherapy

Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, focused attention and therapeutic suggestion to help work with emotional responses, habits, patterns, confidence, anxiety, panic and stress-related symptoms.

You remain aware and in control. The aim is not to force change, but to support the mind and body to feel calmer, more settled and more able to respond differently over time.

relaxation focused attention nervous system support

Trauma-informed support

Trauma-informed therapy recognises that difficult experiences can affect the mind, body, emotions, relationships and sense of safety. Support should be paced carefully, with respect for what feels manageable.

Depending on suitability, therapy may include reflective work, grounding, nervous-system-focused support, EMDR, BLAST, somatic-informed approaches or other carefully adapted methods.

paced support emotional safety grounding

The method depends on the person

No single therapy method suits everyone. The right approach depends on what you are experiencing, your history, your goals, your preferences, your nervous system, and what feels safe and realistic for you.

CBT-informed therapy

Helps identify unhelpful thought, feeling and behaviour cycles and build more balanced coping strategies.

EMDR

A structured approach that may help process distressing memories and emotional triggers where clinically appropriate.

NLP and BLAST

Practical approaches that may support emotional patterns, confidence, triggers, habits and trauma-related responses.

EFT, somatic and inner child work

Integrative methods that may support emotional processing, body awareness, attachment patterns and deeper reflective work.

Who? Who may benefit

Who may benefit from mental health and emotional wellbeing support?

You do not need to be in crisis to seek support. Therapy may help when something feels heavy, confusing, unresolved, overwhelming or difficult to manage alone.

Adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck

This service may suit adults who feel anxious, panicky, low in confidence, emotionally overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, stressed, stuck in repeating patterns or unsure how to move forward.

People carrying trauma, grief or difficult past experiences

This service may support women affected emotionally by menopause, perimenopause, ADHD and hormonal change, painful sex, urinary symptoms, vaginal dryness, cancer survivorship, body confidence or sexual confidence.

Neurodivergent adults, children and young people

Neurodiversity-informed support may help people with ADHD, autism or neurodivergent identity concerns who feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, emotionally dysregulated, marginalised or unsure how to build systems that work for them.

Couples, families and adolescents

Therapy may help when communication feels strained, family dynamics are difficult, a young person is struggling with confidence or anxiety, or a couple wants support to understand patterns and reconnect.

Organisations, teams and public sector workers

Mental health and emotional resilience training may support teams who want practical tools for stress, burnout, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, communication and everyday wellbeing.

Not sure whether this is for you?

You do not need to know whether you need psychotherapy, counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, CBT-informed support, EMDR, BLAST, NLP or resilience training before contacting us. The first step is simply to explain what feels difficult and what you are hoping to change.

How it works

How mental health and emotional wellbeing support works

We keep the process clear and supportive. The aim is to understand what you need, match you to the right pathway, and agree a plan that feels realistic and manageable.

1. Initial enquiry

You tell us what kind of support you are looking for, what feels difficult, and whether this is for yourself, a young person, a couple, a family member or an organisation.

2. Safe matching

We consider whether psychotherapy, counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, trauma-informed support, neurodiversity-informed therapy or resilience training may be the best starting point.

3. First session

Your first session is used to understand your concerns, goals, history and preferences. You do not have to share everything at once. The pace should feel safe and manageable.

4. Plan and review

You and your practitioner agree a therapy plan. This may be a short focused block or a longer course of support, reviewed as your needs become clearer.

Flexible support

Sessions can be short-term, focused or longer-term

Some people want a small number of sessions to work through a specific concern. Others need a longer, steadier therapeutic relationship. The number of sessions depends on the person, the issue, the therapy method and what feels appropriate after assessment.

Focused support

Suitable for a specific issue such as stress, confidence, an immediate life change or practical coping strategies.

Structured therapy block

A block of sessions can help create consistency, goals and momentum while keeping the process contained.

Longer-term work

Longer work may suit trauma-informed support, relationship patterns, grief, identity, neurodiversity or deeper emotional processing.

Session length and format

usually 60 minutes online where appropriate in-person where available longer specialist sessions by agreement

Most sessions are planned around one hour. Some trauma-focused or specialist sessions may need a different structure, which will be discussed before booking.

If your needs are outside our service

We will not try to keep you in a pathway that is not appropriate. If your needs are urgent, high-risk, psychiatric, diagnostic, crisis-based or outside our therapy scope, we will explain this clearly.

This protects you and helps make sure you are guided towards the right kind of support.

If you feel at immediate risk, or you are worried you may harm yourself or someone else, please contact emergency services, NHS urgent mental health support, your GP, your local crisis team or Samaritans.

WHC Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing is not a crisis or emergency mental health service.

Therapy journey

A typical journey into support

Every person’s story is different, but many people follow a similar path from uncertainty to feeling more supported.

1. You notice something feels harder

It may be anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, relationship strain, low confidence, menopause changes, health-related distress or simply a sense that you are not quite yourself.

2. You wonder whether therapy could help

Many people are unsure where to start. You may not know whether you need psychotherapy, counselling, hypnotherapy, EMDR, CBT-informed support or something else.

3. You book an initial consultation

You explain what has been happening, what feels difficult and what kind of support you are hoping for. You do not need to have the perfect words.

4. We match the right pathway

We consider whether psychotherapy, counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, trauma-informed support, neurodiversity-informed care or resilience training is the most suitable route.

5. You move forward at your pace

Your practitioner agrees a plan with you. This may be a focused block of sessions, longer-term therapy, a specific method such as EMDR or hypnotherapy, or a workplace resilience programme.

Client reflections

What people often value about therapy

Therapy is personal, and every experience is different. Common themes include feeling heard, understood, calmer, clearer, less alone and more able to make sense of what has been happening.

People often come to therapy after trying to cope alone for a long time. The first step is not about having everything worked out. It is about having a safe, confidential space to begin making sense of what feels difficult.

Feeling safely heard
A calm space to speak openly

Many people value being able to say what they have been carrying without feeling judged, rushed or dismissed.

Clarity and confidence
Understanding patterns more clearly

Therapy may help people understand emotional patterns, triggers, relationship dynamics and the practical steps that may support change.

Support without pressure
Paced around the person

The right support should feel respectful and manageable, especially when working with trauma, grief, anxiety, neurodiversity or sensitive life experiences.

Anonymous client reflection

“Her empathy and understanding created a safe space for my healing. Her support and insight helped me regain confidence and clarity during a challenging time.”

Therapy client reflection

Anonymous client reflection

“I was resistant to therapy at first, but I am glad I started. I feel more in control and more able to move forward with confidence.”

Anxiety therapy client reflection

Client reflections are shared to illustrate common themes. Therapy experiences vary. No specific outcome can be guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about therapy, hypnotherapy, emotional wellbeing support, packages and what to expect before booking.

We offer therapy-based emotional wellbeing support, including psychotherapy, counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, CBT-informed support, EMDR, EFT, NLP, BLAST, trauma-informed therapy, neurodiversity-informed support and emotional resilience training.

No. WHC Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing is not a crisis, emergency, psychiatric or urgent mental health service. If you feel at immediate risk, or you are worried you may harm yourself or someone else, please contact emergency services, NHS urgent mental health support, your GP, your local crisis team or Samaritans.

Counselling often focuses on current difficulties, emotional support and practical coping. Psychotherapy may involve deeper work around patterns, relationships, trauma, identity, past experiences and long-standing emotional themes. In practice, the approach is adapted to the person and their goals.

Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, focused attention and therapeutic techniques to support emotional responses, confidence, anxiety, panic, stress-related symptoms, habits and nervous system regulation. You remain aware and in control throughout the session.

Tahirah’s pathway may suit people looking for psychotherapy, counselling, trauma-informed reflective work, neurodiversity-informed support, couples therapy, adolescent therapy, menopause emotional wellbeing, CBT or EMDR. Sara’s pathway may suit people looking for clinical hypnotherapy, anxiety and panic support, grief support, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed hypnotherapy, NLP or BLAST. If you are unsure, the first conversation can help guide you.

Therapy may help people understand anxiety and panic patterns, identify triggers, build coping strategies, work with bodily stress responses and develop a stronger sense of emotional regulation. The right approach depends on your history, symptoms and preferences.

Yes. We offer trauma-informed support within safe therapy scope. This may include psychotherapy, counselling, EMDR, BLAST, grounding, nervous-system-focused work, somatic-informed support or clinical hypnotherapy, depending on suitability and practitioner assessment.

No. Therapy should be paced safely. You do not have to share everything at once, and you should not feel forced to discuss details before you feel ready. Your practitioner will work with you at a pace that feels manageable.

Yes. We support emotional wellbeing around menopause and perimenopause, including mood changes, confidence, identity, relationships, sleep-related stress, overwhelm, sexual confidence and the emotional impact of physical or hormonal changes.

Yes, we can offer ADHD-informed and neurodiversity-informed emotional wellbeing support. Some women find perimenopause affects focus, overwhelm, emotional regulation, confidence, sleep and energy. Therapy can help explore patterns and build practical systems. We do not provide formal ADHD diagnosis through this pathway.

Yes, we offer lower-risk child and adolescent emotional wellbeing support where appropriate. This may include anxiety, confidence, school stress, emotional overwhelm, family dynamics or identity concerns. We do not provide high-risk child or adolescent crisis mental health services.

Yes. Couples therapy may support partners who want to improve communication, understand conflict patterns, rebuild trust, explore emotional distance or work through relationship strain in a more structured and compassionate way.

Yes. EMDR may be discussed where clinically appropriate, particularly for trauma-related distress, emotional triggers or difficult memories. Suitability is assessed before beginning this type of work.

BLAST stands for Bi-Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment. It is a trauma-focused therapeutic approach using bilateral stimulation and structured therapeutic processing to help reduce the emotional intensity linked to distressing memories or triggers. Suitability is discussed individually.

Therapy can support the emotional impact of painful sex, urinary symptoms, vaginal dryness, body confidence or intimate confidence. It does not replace medical assessment or treatment. Where symptoms may need medical review, we will guide you appropriately.

This depends on your goals, the issue, the therapy method and what feels appropriate after assessment. Some people choose a short focused block of 3 sessions. Others prefer 6 or 12 sessions for more structured or longer-term support.

Individual therapy, psychotherapy, counselling, clinical hypnotherapy and child or adolescent therapy are £125 per 60-minute session. Couples therapy is £150 per 60-minute session. Package options are available for 3, 6 and 12 sessions.

The 3-session individual package is £337.50. The 6-session individual package is £637.50. The 12-session individual package is £1,200. These represent 10%, 15% and 20% savings compared with pay-as-you-go individual sessions.

Yes. We offer mental health and emotional resilience training for organisations, teams, public sector workers and other groups. Pricing is quoted according to format, group size, location and programme length.

If your needs are urgent, high-risk, diagnostic, psychiatric, crisis-based, forensic, or outside our therapy scope, we will explain this clearly and signpost you to more appropriate support.

Your next steps

1. Book your initial consultation
2. Tell us what feels difficult
3. We help identify the most suitable pathway
4. Agree a session plan or package if appropriate
5. Move forward only if it feels right for you

If something feels difficult, you do not need to have all the answers before getting in touch. You simply need a place to ask questions, understand your options and decide what kind of support feels right.

Important safety note

This is not a crisis or emergency mental health service

WHC Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing provides therapy-based support. We do not provide emergency mental health care, crisis intervention, psychiatric diagnosis, prescription-based mental health treatment, detox support, forensic work, formal ADHD or autism diagnosis, or high-risk child/adolescent mental health services.

If you feel at immediate risk, or you are worried you may harm yourself or someone else, please contact emergency services, NHS urgent mental health support, your GP, your local crisis team or Samaritans. If your needs are outside our scope, we will signpost you to more appropriate support.
