More than 70% of menopausal people are affected by mental health symptoms

Midlife is a time when many of us go through life-changing experiences and events, and it can have an impact on our mental health.

If your menopause symptoms are affecting your day-to-day life and mental health, you don’t have to put up with them – there is help available free through the NHS.

Why typed therapy?

Typed therapy takes place online, so you won’t need to miss work or travel anywhere. Choose a time convenient for you to type with your therapist. Before each session, your therapist will check in with how you are, so we can tailor your treatment to be as effective as possible. Between sessions, we’ll ask you to keep a journal and do thinking exercises to help develop positive, long-term habits. Research shows a little work leads to better recovery and can help keep you feeling well after your therapy sessions have ended.

How it works

Our patients tell us typed therapy makes it easier to open up and reflect on their thoughts and behaviours than if they were sat in front of a therapist. The additional benefits of typed therapy include:

Flexible - appointments are available seven days a week, 6am – 11pm
Confidential - no video calling, just typing
No travel required - accessible from anywhere - all you need is a device that connects to the internet
Life friendly – access therapy in your own time. We fit sessions around your commitments
Guidance beyond therapy - learn practical CBT skills to use in day-to-day life

What people say

We’ve helped thousands of people feel better.
Here are their stories of recovery and growth.

A green illustration of a quote mark

I was listened to, supported and guided by a professional, empathic and non judgemental therapist. I was not rushed or pushed into doing things I was not ready for e.g activities. I slowly managed to gain some self confidence and self worth which I am still working on. I am now able to slowly move forward after the trauma that took me to utilise this service.

The main thing I loved about it is that you type, so you don’t have to speak to anyone when talking about emotional experiences. There are also no awkward silences- just typing and thinking. The support I received was really great, a really great therapist who helped me overcome my issues. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for cbt.

This has really help me understand myself and why I feel like I do. The lady I was speaking to was really kind and understanding.
