🌿Why Johan at The Wight Relaxation Room (Glasgow) Is the Ideal Place for Support
Menopause and perimenopause can be very disruptive—emotionally, physically, and mentally. Hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, brain fog, sleep problems, and mood swings can affect work, relationships, and overall wellbeing. While many women turn to HRT or medication, an increasing number are seeking natural, holistic, drug‑free solutions.
One therapy stands out for its evidence‑based effectiveness: Hypnotherapy plus CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
🔍 Why Hypnotherapy Works for Menopause
Research consistently shows that Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH-Hypnotherapy plus CBT) can significantly reduce the severity and frequency of menopause symptoms—especially symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats.

- Improved sleep quality, with 50–77% of women reporting better rest after hypnotherapy-supported self‑hypnosis programmes

Below is a clear comparison to help you understand why many women choose hypnotherapy as a first‑line or complementary treatment.
| Treatment Type | Pros | Cons |
| Hypnotherapy | Drug‑free, safe, reduces hot flushes, improves sleep, mood, stress, and cognitive symptoms; long‑lasting tools | Requires commitment to sessions & practice |
| HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) | Highly effective for many symptoms | Not suitable for everyone; carries medical risks; requires ongoing medical supervision |
| SSRIs/SNRIs (e.g., paroxetine, venlafaxine) | Can reduce hot flushes | Side effects: nausea, dry mouth, libido changes; interactions with other medications thebms.org.uk |
| Gabapentin / Clonidine | Helpful for some vasomotor symptoms | Dizziness, fatigue, sleep disturbance, weight gain, blood pressure issues thebms.org.uk |
| CBT / Talking Therapies | Good for mood, anxiety, coping | Less effective for physical symptoms like hot flushes |
