Angela Brooks-Horn
Registered Psychologist
Perimenopause and post-menopause can often be accompanied by ups and downs in mood, feelings of overwhelm, the re-evaluation of relationships, physical symptoms of exhaustion, hot flushes and join pain, cognitive challenges of brain fog and the inability to remember the name of an object or person. Women with ADHD sometimes experience an increase in their symptoms, deeply buried traumas can come to the foreground, well managed anxieties and worries can lead to feelings of overwhelm and relationship challenges can magnify. If this sounds like you, there is help.
As a psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I use a number of different evidence- based therapies to help my clients navigate the journey through perimenopause into their post-menopause life where there can be greater freedom, purpose, growth and self-confidence. If you value authenticity, humour and have the courage to face your challenges, then I would be honoured to help guide you through this life transition.

Ruth Cross
Psychotherapist & Counsellor
The menopausal transition is a pivotal stage of life that can affect all areas of a woman’s life and relationships. While we are slowly beginning to see the development of menopause awareness among broader society, the historical weight of stigma makes it hard for women to talk about what they are going through, and to suffer their experience of menopause alone and in silence.
Navigating my own midlife prompted a career change from documentary filmmaking to psychotherapy and counselling. Experiencing the menopausal transition and its particular challenges while undertaking my training as a therapist led me to focus my clinical practice on helping women navigate their emotional, psychological and spiritual states of being that arise during the physiological changes of menopause.
Every woman’s experience of menopause is as individual as she is. My therapeutic approach is person-centred, meaning I am led by your needs and lived experience. My background, supported by a lifelong personal yoga practice combined with my humanistic lens, brings a deep and holistic understanding of the midlife transition from perimenopause to menopause and beyond. I can work with you to identify how your role and relationships within family and society may be changing, and to explore and make meaning of your experiences.
Underpinning my commitment to supporting women in midlife transition is my vision for a whole-of-society response and support system of awareness and understanding to enable women to journey safely into their “Second Spring”.
