A minimum of ten, working women will be invited to take part in interviews if they have menopausal symptoms, including HFNS.…”

We also included two belief items from the Menopause Attitude Measure [9] to measure attitude to menopause at work, i.e. whether women feel that their job performance has been affected by menopausal symptoms, and whether they feel that menopause has negatively affected managers' and colleagues' views of competence at work.…”

“…Menopausal symptom disclosure to managers is measured using a single dichotomous item ('yes' or 'no') [9,30] and whether participants have told their manager about any reduced working hours (i.e. arriving late, leaving early) due to their menopausal symptoms (if appropriate) ('yes', 'no', 'sometimes').…”

“…There is some evidence that women find that menopausal symptoms are hard to manage at work, and that certain work situations such as formal meetings, working with men and/or younger colleagues, and working in hot or poorly ventilated environments, increase the intensity of menopausal symptoms [5][6][7][8][9]. Hot flushes are often seen as embarrassing and women are concerned about the reactions of others [6].…”

Aim The aim of this study was to discover whether menopausal symptoms have implications for counsellors in their therapeutic work. Method Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with three counsellors who have experienced menopausal symptoms. The menopause is a unique experience for the individual. Interpretative phenomenological analysis therefore allowed for a detailed exploration of the participants' experiences. Findings Four superordinate themes were identified: transitioning personal and professional identity during menopause; limited dialogue about the menopause; ethical dilemmas of practising as a counsellor when menopausal; and the influence of menopausal symptoms during client work. The findings demonstrated that participants each had very personal and individual experiences of the menopause. A lack of knowledge and understanding of the menopause and limited dialogue within society to discuss symptoms was also reflected in the counselling profession. The capacity to continue working therapeutically presented potential ethical dilemmas which were affected by menopausal symptoms. Conclusion Counsellors' experiences of menopausal symptoms may create challenges in their therapeutic work, ranging from a mild distraction, a disconnection with a client, to having to cease engaging with client work. Implications for therapeutic practice are discussed.
