Women’s Health
Women’s Health Psychology Hub
Women’s health can affect both physical and emotional well-being. At Lotus Health and Psychology, we provide psychological support for women experiencing emotional and mental health concerns related to health conditions, reproductive health, life changes, and difficult medical experiences.
Our Brisbane psychology services can support concerns including chronic pelvic pain, PMDD, fertility, pregnancy, menopause, body image, sexual wellbeing, and medical trauma.
Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain
Living with endometriosis or chronic pelvic pain can affect mood, relationships, work, and daily life. Psychological support can help with stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with ongoing pain.
PMDD
PMDD can cause significant mood and emotional symptoms before a period. PMDD therapy can support coping strategies, emotional regulation, anxiety, low mood, and the impact of symptoms on everyday life.
Fertility and Reproductive Health
Fertility concerns, infertility, IVF, and pregnancy loss can be emotionally challenging. Fertility counselling can provide support with anxiety, grief, treatment stress, and emotional wellbeing.
