You might think that therapy for PMDD means talking about your darkest thoughts.

The ones that hit hardest in the luteal phase.
The intrusive ones that don’t sound like you.
The spiral that tells you you’re too much, not enough, or better off gone.

And maybe you’ve avoided counselling because the idea of saying those thoughts out loud feels terrifying. Or shameful. Or like you’ll have to justify or explain something you barely understand yourself.

But here’s the truth: Good PMDD-informed counselling isn’t about analysing or validating those thoughts.

It’s about helping you disidentify from them.

PMDD Thoughts Aren’t the Real You

During our most recent PMDD Support Group, one woman shared something that stopped me in my tracks.
She said:

“I thought therapy meant I’d have to relive all my most irrational thoughts. I didn't realise it worked like that, I wish I knew that 20 years ago.”

This is the lightbulb moment I wish more women could have.

PMDD therapy isn’t about sitting in the darkness — it’s about finding your way out.
With tools.
With support.
With compassion.
And without shame.

Here’s What PMDD Counselling Actually Looks Like:

• Recognising the difference between PMDD-brain and your true self

• Learning how to ground, soothe, and centre yourself during flares

• Building a life that supports your cycle, instead of ignoring it

• Gently rewriting the stories that PMDD tries to scream at you

You don’t have to relive every dark thought to heal from them.
You just need a space where those thoughts don’t get to run the show anymore.

And that’s what I’m here to help you create.

If this resonates...

You’re so welcome in our free Support Group. Or if you’re ready for deeper healing, 1:1 counselling can walk beside you through the noise and back to your real self.

You’re not broken.
You’re not alone.
And healing doesn’t have to feel like drowning in the dark.
