Anxiety, depression, rage, brain fog and 'who even am I?'
You've found your people.
And the bonus is, we're peri/menopausal psychologists.
We get it.
Perimenopause and Menopause can be real a real sh!tshow.
There, we said it.
From hormonal chaos to physical curveballs, identity crises to emotional meltdowns, and let’s be real, there’s a lot in between, nothing in a woman’s life escapes the grip of peri/menopause. And she doesn’t just knock… she moves in, unpacks, and overstays her welcome.
On the peri/menopausal rollercoaster?
We’ve got the info, resources, and real talk to help you thrive, or at least survive without losing your mind.
We’re talking brain fog, rage, anxiety, depression, the ‘who even am I?’ moments, and all the random curveballs this season loves to throw.
Are you working as a therapist with women in the messy middle of life, anxiety, overwhelm, brain fog, identity crises, the whole shebang?
We're the professional community that gets it, like really gets it - as women and as psychs. Oh, we also swear a little and share a lot. Our knowledge, skills, resources, wisdom and at times, our own experiences.
Are you a doctor or other health professionalwith a patient in the thick of peri/menopause? Send her our way.
Head to our referral page, tell us who you are and how we can make life easier for both of you.
Wouldn’t it be nice if someone just listened?
Here’s the truth. When it comes to menopause-informed care, our healthcare system is still fumbling in the dark. And in the mental health world? Even fewer psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists or psychiatrists have been trained to understand what’s really going on for women at this stage.
So women get told it’s “just stress,” “just anxiety,” or “just depression.” They get meds without context and told to meditate and delegate. Therapy without the full picture. And no one’s joining the dots between hormones, identity, and the mental and emotional sh!tstorm that can hit in peri and menopause.
That’s why The All About Her Centre for Menopause exists — to close that gap fast. We bring menopause-informed psychological care to the women who need it, so they finally feel understood, seen, and supported through every brain-fogged, rage-filled, tear-stained, identity-questioning step of the way.
Women, we want you to know…
Even if you’re fed up, wrung out, and wondering where the hell you went, you can reclaim the control and power you feel like you’ve lost. And yes, we’ll go so far as to say you might even get your spark, or we call it, your full-blown joie de vivre, back.
And while some healthcare professionals seem to have been living under a rock when it comes to menopause, there are passionate, educated, menopause-informed legends out there. Our directory is proof.
Things can get better. And rest assured, we’re hitching our skirts into our knickers, rolling up our sleeves, and working our arses off behind the scenes to help you live a life you actually love.
Peri/menopause Mental Health Revolution:
Let's Change Women's Lives and the System, Together
Psychologists, Clinical Social Workers, Psychotherapists, Counsellors — we’re building something big, and we need you.
We’re creating Australia’s ultimate directory of menopause-informed mental health practitioners, and it’s going to be a game-changer for women navigating peri, menopause, and beyond. But here’s the thing — we can’t do it alone.
Just imagine what a bunch of Gen X and Millennial therapists can achieve if we bring our collective skills, our voices, and our fire to support other Gen X and Millennial women through one of the biggest transitions of their lives.
We’re talking shaking the patriarchy, dismantling the outdated crap, and fuelling the rise of the feminine - one therapy session at a time.
If you’re passionate about menopause, mental health, and making damn sure women get the care they deserve, we want you in this movement. Come join the party!
Meet our Founder
Hi, I’m Kirstin. I’m a Clinical Psychologist with three decades’ worth of notches on my clinical psych belt, a menopausal woman, a mother of three young men, and a lover of musicals. And it's worth noting, perimenopause was a 7-year sh!t show. Menopause is being a little kinder. Thank God!
Some of the gems of my perimenopause included the bone-deep fatigue, brain fog so thick I’d forget mid-sentence and a vagina as dry as an Australian desert (at ALL times). HRT did nothing for me. Yep, I'm one of the few.
But the hardest part?
The constant - “who the fck am I?" Seriously it was front and centre for what felt like, forever. I lived in a permanent state of not knowing who I was, where I was 'going' or what was 'wrong' with me. And I also didn't know what to do about it.
It was hands-down one of the hardest things I've ever been through. And stick around 'cause I am happy to share the other crap that's been thrown at me!
And yet… it’s also been the most liberating chapter of my life. Brutal, yes. Messy, absolutely. Scary, bloody oath. But I’ve never felt more me — even now, with a few menopausal curveballs still in the mix.
What’s blown my mind professionally is how few healthcare providers actually know how to support women through this. I’ve been horrified, frankly. The referrals that land on my desk from women desperate for help just keep coming. And when I realised the lack of education amongst my own colleagues, psychologists, I realised I couldn’t sit back. So I decided to use my experience, my voice, and my stubborn streak to change that. Within my profession, for other health professionals and ALL women. Just a small goal ;-)
All About Her is still quite new - nearly 2 years old in fact. But she’s got a big mission — to give women the kind of understanding, support, and respect in menopause that we should have had all along. With fire in my belly, a steadier head on my shoulders AND quite a few doses of 'fck this shit' attitude, I'm going to make it happen.
Come join me, in whatever way you can and whatever version you bring today. All that makes you You, are welcome. Including the mood swings, joint pain, dry vaginas, irritability, sh!tty sleep and anything else you've got going on.
Health professionals, want to get involved?
