2nd Annual Women's Mental Health Conference

The impact of physiology, hormones, cycles on mood and states of mind

The inaugural Women’s Mental Health Conference brought together clinicians and researchers from across the psychological and medical professions to explore the complex relationship between hormonal health, emotional life, and women’s mental wellbeing. Responding to a longstanding divide between mind and body approaches, the conference examined the menstrual cycle and menopause as biopsychosocial experiences requiring greater integration between psychotherapy, psychiatry, and medicine.

Discussions highlighted how trauma, stress, hormonal change, and social factors such as stigma and misogyny can shape women’s psychological experiences across the lifespan. Speakers explored how menstrual and menopausal difficulties may be understood within broader psychodynamic and relational formulations, while also considering the importance of medical assessment and interdisciplinary collaboration in supporting women’s mental health.

Following the success of the first conference, we are currently researching and developing the programme for our second Women’s Mental Health Conference, which will continue to expand these conversations through contemporary clinical, medical, and psychoanalytic perspectives. We are incorporating feedback from attendees into next year’s programme, with particular emphasis on deepening interdisciplinary dialogue, strengthening clinical applicability, and addressing emerging themes identified by participants.

The forthcoming conference will continue to create a space for reflective and evidence-informed discussion around women’s mental health, bringing together professionals from psychotherapy, psychology, psychiatry, medicine, and related disciplines.

Further details, speakers, and themes will be announced soon. Booking is available to secure your seat!
