Hello and welcome!
I'm Jicinta — a counsellor with many years of experience supporting clients across the lifespan. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse spaces, helping people navigate everything from everyday stress to complex mental health and family challenges.
In recent years, I’ve expanded my focus to include health counselling, particularly in the area of women’s health. My interest in this space has been supported by further university studies in physiology, anatomy, and occupational therapy, which allow me to bring a more integrated, body-informed approach to my counselling work.
I’m especially passionate about supporting women through perimenopause and menopause, combining emotional support with practical, holistic care.
My background in counselling and tertiary studies in health, anatomy, and physiology, enables me to offer support that's both passionate and empowering while having an advanced knowledge of how the body and mind works. I understand through firsthand experience how balancing life's demands, and the changes that come with major life transitions can all significantly impact a woman’s quality of life.
I believe it’s important to acknowledge that effective counselling involves personalised strategies for developing healthy ways to manage our thoughts, feelings, and mental health. Additionally, establishing daily routines that meet our needs and achieve work-life integration are foundational to overall well-being, alongside nurturing and managing our relationships with others.
I specialise in offering focused guidance on balancing work, family, and self-care helping women meet their life demands without sacrificing their personal well-being.
If changes to your health, well-being, or relationships are affecting your quality of life, I provide tailored support and strategies to help you regain balance and control. Addressing your mental health is equally important, as challenges like depression, anxiety, and stress are often closely connected to life transitions and hormonal shifts.
I warmly invite you to connect with me and receive the compassionate professional care and guidance you deserve.

What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional stage leading up to menopause, often starting in your 40s (but sometimes earlier or later). It can last from a few months to over a decade and ends when you’ve gone 12 months without a menstrual period.
During this time, hormone levels—especially estrogen and progesterone—fluctuate significantly, affecting both the body and the mind.
As hormones shift, you may experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms, including:
You may also feel:
These changes can be deeply unsettling and isolating—but they’re also very common. You’re not alone in feeling this way.
At Counseling For Her, we understand how personal and complex perimenopause can be. It’s more than just hot flushes—it's a profound shift that affects how you feel, think, relate, and live.
In counselling, you’ll find a safe space to:
Perimenopause can be tough—but it can also be a time of growth and healing, especially when you have the right support.
Counseling For Her offers compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to what you need.
