PMS and PMDD treatment in Dublin

Understanding PMS and PMDD

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) affect millions of women and can significantly disrupt daily life. While both conditions are linked to the menstrual cycle, PMDD is more severe and emotionally intense than PMS. If you’re struggling with mood swings, irritability, fatigue, or physical discomfort every month, you’re not alone—and effective PMS and PMDD treatment in Dublin is available.

How to get help for PMDD/PMS

To support both the physical and emotional challenges of PMS and PMDD, I offer a holistic approach that combines acupuncture, counselling, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These complementary therapies are designed to address the root causes of hormonal imbalance and emotional distress.

Integrative Therapy: PMS/PMDD Counselling Combined with Acupuncture

Counselling for PMS/PMDD:

Professional counselling provides a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions, understand your menstrual cycle patterns, and build emotional resilience. It helps you:

Identify emotional and behavioural triggers
Cope with mood changes and anxiety
Cultivate self-awareness and compassion

Acupuncture for PMS Symptoms:

Acupuncture helps restore balance in your body’s energy systems. It is known to:

Reduce physical discomfort such as cramps, bloating, and headaches
Regulate hormonal fluctuations
Improve sleep, digestion, and relaxation

Why Combine Counselling and Acupuncture?

Physiological Relief: Acupuncture addresses physical symptoms but may not fully resolve underlying emotional issues.
Emotional Support: Counselling provides clarity and tools for emotional regulation but doesn’t directly impact the body’s systems.
Together: These therapies offer a powerful, integrative approach to PMS and PMDD treatment in Dublin, supporting your overall well-being.
