Nadia Boscaglia

I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Somatic Sexologist with over 20 years experience, specialising in women’s mental health across hormonally sensitive periods – from menstrual-related mood disorders to perimenopausal depression. I’ve had the privilege of working with women aged 18 to 80 who have experienced anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and OCD. More recently, I have completed an additional year of training in somatic sexology so that I can help women who are experiencing sexual difficulties in the perimenopause.

In my therapeutic work, I use different treatment approaches including ACT, CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, and techniques from somatic sexology. I also run Australia’s first multi-modality therapy group for women who are experiencing mood, anxiety ,sleep and sexual symptoms in the perimenopause.

• Mental health presentations in perimenopause and menopause (depression, anxiety, rage, insomnia), sex in perimenopause/ menopause – education and how to renew relationship with pleasure, identity shifts and seeing menopause as a developmental phase not just a hormonal one; group therapy for menopausal women with mental health presentations, PMDD and perimenopause cross-over.
