All About Her Practitioner

Hi! I’m Desi Karalis

Psychologist

I’m here to support you through your menopause journey. With 19 years’ experience as a psychologist and previously a counsellor, I have worked across various fields, including management, business, therapy, supervision, and training. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working alongside many women, and together, we've worked to enhance their well-being and find greater satisfaction in both their personal and professional lives

As a woman also navigating post-menopause, I understand the challenges of balancing work and personal life during this time.

Together, we will create a personalised plan—a roadmap tailored to your specific stage, whether it is peri-menopause, menopause, or post-menopause. This plan will help you understand what is happening, prepare for changes, and take proactive steps to manage both your personal and professional life.

You might be experiencing mood swings, stress, hot flashes, brain fog, sleep issues, self-doubt, fatigue and more. At work, these symptoms can lead to trouble concentrating, increased anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed, potentially affecting your performance and career progression.

We'll start by exploring the menopausal symptoms you're experiencing and how they impact you, including your identity, self-esteem, relationships, and your work/career. I offer evidence-based interventions and supportive counselling, along with practical workplace strategies:

  • Education and Awareness: Understanding how menopause affects you personally and how you can educate those around you

  • Learning Strategies and Skills: Building resilience and empowering you to respond in ways that lessen the impact of negative symptoms and help you grow into the woman you imagine yourself to be in this next stage of life

  • Managing Symptoms at Work: Identifying ways to handle menopausal symptoms at work so you can maintain your well-being while meeting work demands

Menopause is a natural part of life, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Seeking support is a proactive step toward maintaining your well-being. My role is to provide a compassionate and understanding space where you can share your experiences and develop strategies to thrive during this transition.

If you're ready to navigate the challenges of menopause with personalised support, I invite you to reach out. I offer Telehealth sessions via video and phone, providing flexible options to fit your schedule. Contact me today to begin your journey toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
