ADHD and Menopause Support
for Women
Specialist therapy and coaching for ADHD, autistic and AuDHD women during perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause.
Online via Zoom, or face to face in Frome, Somerset.
Support from a therapist who understands neurodivergence and menopause, both personally and professionally.
If you have ADHD and you are entering perimenopause or menopause, you may feel as though everything has become harder.
You might notice that focus has slipped. Emotions feel closer to the surface. Tasks that once felt manageable now feel overwhelming. You may question yourself. You may wonder if you are coping less well than you used to.
Hormonal change can intensify ADHD traits. It can also expose years of masking and coping strategies that are no longer sustainable.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.
Why ADHD Can Feel Different in Midlife
Oestrogen plays a role in dopamine regulation. Dopamine affects attention, motivation and emotional regulation. As oestrogen levels fluctuate and fall during perimenopause and menopause, ADHD symptoms can become more noticeable.
You might experience increased brain fog, stronger emotional reactions, sleep disruption or greater executive dysfunction. Some women also notice rising anxiety or rejection sensitivity.
For many women, midlife is the point where coping strategies stop working. Some receive their first ADHD diagnosis in their forties or fifties because symptoms become harder to mask.
This stage can feel confusing. It can also bring clarity.
How Support Can Help
Specialist ADHD and menopause support gives you space to understand what is happening in your body and mind.
In our work together, we focus on understanding how hormones affect ADHD and how to reduce the stress this creates in daily life.
Support may include practical strategies for focus and organisation, tools for emotional regulation, and guidance around managing overwhelm. We also explore identity changes that can arise in midlife, especially if you have spent years masking or putting others first.
You do not need a formal ADHD diagnosis. Many women I support are self identified or waiting for assessment.
Who This Support Is For
This support is for women over 30 who are navigating perimenopause, menopause or post menopause and noticing that ADHD traits feel stronger or more disruptive.
You may be juggling work, family life, caring responsibilities or all three. You may feel exhausted by trying to keep everything together while feeling unlike yourself.
You deserve support that understands both neurodivergence and hormonal change.
