Free initial meeting with no commitment
A first assessment session, useful to frame your situation and define together with the professional the most suitable type of support. This first meeting helps set up the pathway and decide how to proceed.
First online counseling session
The first session is the start of the counseling pathway. It is a space for listening and dialogue where you can begin to talk about what you are experiencing, the changes you feel and the emotional or psychological discomfort that may arise in menopause.
Subsequent sessions of the pathway
After the first session, the pathway continues based on your needs. Subsequent meetings can be planned weekly or every two weeks. If during the pathway topics related to the intimate sphere or sexuality also emerge, the counselor can address them with you.
Pathway review and consolidation
In the final phase a review of the pathway carried out is planned, useful to observe the changes that emerged, consolidate what was addressed and take stock together with the counselor.

Counseling in menopause: why choose Pausetiv?
The transition of menopause is a complex moment, often filled with emotions and changes that involve women on multiple levels. On one hand there are the effects linked to hormonal imbalances, which can affect anxiety, mood, irritability or a feeling of fragility. On the other there is also the emotional and psychological impact of this transition phase, which can bring deeper experiences related to change, self-perception and the new balance to be built.
The Pausetiv counseling service in menopause is designed precisely to accompany you through this transition. Counseling works on a specific issue and aims to enhance the person's inner resources, helping her face this delicate phase of life with greater awareness.
The Pausetiv counselor also works on intimate wellbeing as an experienced sex consultant. She can support you if you are experiencing changes in the sexual sphere or in the relationship with your body, such as low desire, difficulty with intimacy or a sense of distance from yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
What is the difference between Pausetiv menopause counseling and psychotherapy?
Pausetiv menopause counseling is not a psychotherapy pathway, but targeted support designed to accompany women through an important transition phase like menopause. Psychotherapy is a more structured clinical pathway, often of medium-long duration, that helps work in depth on psychological disorders, persistent suffering or complex emotional dynamics. Menopause counseling, on the other hand, focuses on a specific issue linked to the moment you are experiencing and aims to help you better understand your experiences, enhancing your inner resources. It can be useful, for example, when you feel the need for support to address anxiety in menopause, mood swings, fears, emotional fragility or difficulties linked to the physical and psychological changes of this phase.
Can the counselor also support me on topics related to intimacy and sexuality?
Yes, partly. The Pausetiv counselor is also a sex consultant and can accompany you if you are experiencing changes in the intimate sphere. She can help you talk about it, understand what is changing and work on the emotional and relational component. She is not a sexologist or a gynecologist specialized in menopause and does not treat the physical or clinical causes of these changes. If the picture requires a more specific assessment, she will refer you to the right specialist.
Is there a difference between an online counseling session and an in-person one?
No, the support remains the same. The way the meeting takes place changes, but counseling maintains the same goal which is to be a space for listening and dialogue for women. For the online session it is useful to have a comfortable, quiet and private environment, so you can concentrate and speak freely.
Is it normal to have psychological symptoms in menopause?
Yes, it is very common. Psychological symptoms can include anxiety in menopause, irritability, mood swings, difficulty concentrating, fatigue and changes in the way you perceive yourself. These symptoms are also linked to hormonal changes, which can affect the mechanisms that regulate mood and mental wellbeing.
Why do I feel emotionally different in menopause?
Many women describe the feeling of "no longer recognizing themselves". This can be linked both to hormonal changes and to the moment of life you are going through. Estrogens also affect the neurotransmitters linked to mood, and their reduction can contribute to mood swings in menopause, irritability or greater emotional sensitivity. It is not something you are doing wrong, but a response from the body and mind to a phase of change.
Can menopause affect memory and concentration?
Yes. Some women experience difficulties such as menopause brain fog, drops in attention or small memory lapses. These symptoms fall among the possible psychological symptoms of menopause and may be linked both to hormonal changes and to factors such as stress, disturbed sleep or mental fatigue.
Can I combine counseling with other Pausetiv services?
Yes. It can be useful to combine the pathway with other specialists, such as a gynecologist or endocrinologist, to have a more complete view of your wellbeing. Discover all Pausetiv services
