Hormone-Informed Practitioner Programme
You want to be the practitioner women seek out. This is how you get there.
The Hormone-Informed Practitioner Programme is for independent and freelance practitioners who work with women and want to deepen their understanding of the hormonal context shaping their clients' lives.
4 live virtual masterclasses · Personal 1:1 practice development session with Clare Knox · November 2026 · 10 places only
You've been wanting to specialise in women's hormonal health
You work with women. You already care about getting it right for them. And somewhere along the way, you've started to sense that hormonal health is a bigger piece of the puzzle than your training ever acknowledged.
Maybe you've noticed patterns in your clients that nobody gave you a framework for. Maybe you've wanted to specialise in this space but weren't sure how to do it credibly. Maybe you know the demand is there, but you want to be able to say, with confidence and something behind your name, that this is your area.
That's exactly what this programme is for.
It gives you the knowledge, the framework, the tools and the certification to be genuinely recognised as a hormone-informed practitioner. Not just someone who's interested in this space. Someone who's qualified to work in it.
This is what changes when you become hormone-informed
Imagine finishing this programme and returning to your practice with:
A real working understanding of the menstrual cycle as a unique system that affects mood, cognition, nervous system regulation, relational capacity and self-perception. Not just 'periods'.
The ability to recognise when a client's presentation may have a hormonal thread (PMDD, premenstrual exacerbation, perimenopause) and to hold that with confidence rather than uncertainty.
A clear framework for the significant overlap between premenstrual conditions and neurodivergence. Why so many women with ADHD or autism reach you first, and what that means for how you work with them.
Confidence when perimenopause enters the room, whether your client names it or not, and the language to explore it without overstepping.
A practical toolkit for integrating this into your practice: intake conversations, session framing, signposting, and how to position yourself as a hormone-informed practitioner.
A cohort of professional peers who understand exactly what you're building, and a community that carries on well beyond the programme.
A clear plan for positioning your practice to attract exactly the clients you want to work with. Because becoming hormone-informed isn't just about what happens in the room, it's about becoming known for it. Your 1:1 session with Clare is where that takes shape.
This is what's available to you. All of it. Starting 5 November.
Who is this programme for?
The Hormone-Informed Practitioner Programme is for independent and freelance practitioners who work 1:1 with women and want to deepen their understanding of the hormonal context shaping their clients' lives.
It's for you if you are a:
Psychologist or therapist in private practice
Counsellor
Coach (life, health, executive, performance or career)
Nutritionist or dietitian
Occupational therapist / Organisational or Business Psychologist
Personal trainer or movement practitioner
Any practitioner who works predominantly with women and keeps encountering the hormonal thread without the framework to address it
This programme is not for you if:
You're looking for clinical training, diagnostic tools, or the ability to prescribe or treat hormonal conditions. This is a professional development programme. It deepens your contextual understanding so you can work more effectively within your existing scope, not beyond it.
You want a passive course to complete in your own time. This is a live, cohort-based programme. The learning happens in the (virtual) room, with the group, in real time.
The Programme
Four 90 minute masterclasses. One integration week. One personal 1:1 practice development session.
All live. All recorded. All building on each other.
MASTERCLASS 1: Thursday 5 November, 12–1.30pm (UK)
The Hormonal Foundation: The science your training probably missed
Understanding the female hormone cycle and why it changes everything about how you read your clients.
Most practitioners were trained to see mood, cognition and nervous system regulation as relatively stable baselines, interrupted by life events and psychological patterns. For women, that model is incomplete.
The menstrual cycle is a unique biological rhythm that shapes how women think, feel, relate, regulate and recover across every phase, not just around their period. When you understand this rhythm, client presentations that seemed unpredictable become legible. Patterns that looked like resistance, inconsistency, impulsivity or instability reveal themselves as something else entirely.
This first masterclass gives you a deep, grounded understanding of the hormonal foundation: the key hormones, what happens in each cycle phase, and how those changes show up in the psychological and physiological experience of the women you work with. We also introduce the concept of cycle-informed practice, what it means to hold hormonal context as a factor in your work, and how to begin doing that responsibly.
What you leave with:
A working model of the female hormone cycle that you can apply to your client work straight away, and the language to begin exploring it in your practice.
MASTERCLASS 2: Thursday 12 November, 12–1.30pm (UK)
Premenstrual Conditions and Neurodivergence: What's hiding in plain sight
PMDD, PME and the overlaps that are changing how we understand both.
PMDD affects approximately 1 in 20 women of reproductive age. Premenstrual Exacerbation, where existing conditions worsen dramatically in the luteal phase, is even more prevalent and even less understood. And the overlap between premenstrual conditions and ADHD and autism is significant, increasingly evidenced, and almost entirely absent from mainstream clinical training.
For many of the women you work with, you may be the first person with the knowledge to recognise what's happening. This session gives you that knowledge.
We cover what PMDD and PME are (and what they aren't), how they present in a therapy room, a coaching session, a consultation. We explore the neurodivergence overlap in depth: why so many women with ADHD or autism present with severe premenstrual symptoms, why they are so frequently misdiagnosed, and what that means for your practice. And we look carefully at scope: what is yours to recognise, explore and hold, and when and how to signpost.
What you leave with:
Clinical literacy around premenstrual conditions and their overlap with neurodivergence. A clear framework for what to do, and what not to do, when this shows up in your practice.
INTEGRATION WEEK: w/c 16 November
(No live session - space to do the work)
This week is yours. Use it to do an audit of your current caseload: how many clients may have an unrecognised hormonal thread? What patterns are you already seeing? Where has something felt inexplicable that, with the lens from the first two masterclasses, might now start to make sense?
The cohort community stays active throughout. Share your thinking, sense-check your observations, ask questions. You're not doing this alone.
This is what separates this programme from a series of webinars. You arrive at Masterclass 3 not with abstract knowledge but with your own practice already in view, and the beginnings of a new way of seeing it.
MASTERCLASS 3: Thursday 26 November, 12–1.30pm (UK)
Perimenopause and Menopause: The transition that arrives precisely when women are at their most powerful
What it looks like in a therapy room, a coaching session, a consultation.
Perimenopause can begin a decade before a woman's last period. For many women, it arrives in their early-to-mid forties, precisely when they are at the height of their professional lives, their most complex relationships, and their deepest engagement with the world. And it is almost universally misread.
Cognitive changes, mood dysregulation, anxiety that appears from nowhere, sleep disruption, identity shift, a sense that something fundamental is changing. These are not symptoms of depression, burnout or psychological instability. They are symptoms of hormonal transition. And the women presenting with them in your practice deserve a practitioner who can tell the difference.
This masterclass gives you a thorough grounding in what perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause involve: the biology, the psychological experience, the way it intersects with identity, relationships and professional life. We look at what this transition looks like in a therapy or coaching context specifically: how to hold it, how to explore it, how to introduce it when a client hasn't considered it, and how to signpost effectively when that's what's needed.
What you leave with:
A perimenopause and menopause framework for your practice, including language, a biopsychosocial lens, and a clear signposting guide.
MASTERCLASS 4: Thursday 4 December, 12–1.30pm (UK)
Integrating Hormone-Informed Practice: Making this real in your work
From knowing this to doing this, in your sessions, your intake process, and your professional identity.
Knowledge without integration is just information. This final masterclass is about what it looks like to practise differently, in a way that's grounded, ethical, and genuinely useful to the women you work with.
We cover the practical mechanics of hormone-informed practice: how to update your intake process to gather relevant hormonal context without overstepping, how to introduce the topic with clients who haven't considered it, how to hold hormonal information alongside your existing clinical framework rather than in tension with it. We also look at the ethical boundaries clearly: what this lens gives you permission to do, and what it doesn't.
We spend real time on your professional positioning too. What it means to describe yourself as a hormone-informed practitioner, how to reflect that on your website and in your referral conversations, and how this specialism positions you in a market where demand is growing fast and supply of informed practitioners is still very limited.
You'll also begin drafting your personal integration plan: your specific, realistic commitments for how hormone-informed practice will look in your work over the next 90 days. You'll bring this into your 1:1 session with Clare to develop it further.
What you leave with:
A practical integration framework, a client communication guide, clarity on your professional positioning, and the first draft of your personal 90-day plan.
POST-PROGRAMME: Your 90-Minute 1:1 Practice Development Session with Clare
Every participant gets a personal, one-to-one session with Clare, scheduled individually after the programme ends.
This is a working session, just you, Clare, and your practice. Bring your caseload reflections. Bring your integration plan draft. Bring your questions, your uncertainties, your ambitions for what hormone-informed practice could become for you.
Leave with a personalised plan that is specific to your modality, your client base, your context, and the kind of practitioner you want to become.
This session is where everything lands. It's where the science becomes a practice, and the hormone-informed practice becomes yours.

A note on CPD hours:
This programme provides a minimum of 6 structured CPD hours across the four masterclasses, plus your 1:1 session. Many coaching and wellness professional bodies will accept this programme as CPD. If you're registered with a psychology, counselling or therapy body, we'd recommend checking their specific CPD recognition criteria.
Meet your Facilitator
Clare Knox is an Organisational Psychologist, founder of See Her Thrive, and one of the UK's leading specialists in female hormonal health, performance and leadership.
Her work sits at the intersection of female physiology, organisational psychology and performance science, and unusually, she brings both rigorous academic credentials and real-world practice to this space. That combination is rare. It's also what makes her teaching exceptional.
Clare studied and lectured at King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), where she specialised in women's mental health. She is a published academic author on premenstrual disorders, with research appearing in the Journal of Affective Disorders, BJPsych Bulletin and the Journal of Psychopharmacology. She served on the board of the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders (IAPMD) for two years, and has provided specialist training on PMDD to the General Medical Council.
Alongside her academic work, Clare has served on the UK Government's All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on women's health at work, and has spoken at international conferences and the Houses of Parliament. She is trusted by over 200 organisations worldwide, including Deloitte, Barclays and the Bank of Canada, and has been featured by BBC World News, The Times, Stylist, Women's Health and Grazia.
She also has lived experience of what it means for hormonal health to go unrecognised and unsupported. That personal investment runs through everything she teaches.
When you learn from Clare, you're not getting a textbook. You're getting frameworks built from the science and tested in the room, with real clients, in real practice. As an accredited cyclical somatic coach alongside her psychology background, she brings both the intellectual rigour and the embodied understanding of what it means to work with the female body, not just study it.
What people say
“Clare is an exceptional facilitator and builder of dreams. She is compassionate, trauma-informed, deeply intelligent, intuitive, and incredibly empowering. She has a special talent for creating spaces where growth feels not only possible, but equitable and sustainable, and just being in her orbit has made me level up in ways I'd always wanted to, but didn't know how to”
- Anastasia Papanicolaou
“Clare has exceptional wisdom around female cycles and hormones, and a real ability to translate this knowledge into the workplace in a way that feels practical, inclusive and long overdue. She thoughtfully addressed how hormonal and cyclical conditions can impact energy, focus and performance at work, and why proper understanding and support really matter.”
- Ruth Tavares
“Clare is empathetic, compassionate, warm, kind and entirely genuine. She cares deeply about the women she supports and creates an environment where openness and trust can truly flourish. On a personal level, I have learned so much from working with Clare and consider her a trusted advisor and guide. I would not hesitate for a moment in recommending her to others.”
- Caroline Joy

On the value of £995:
One client who stays with you longer because you finally understood what was happening for her. One referral from a GP who now sends women your way because you're the practitioner in your area who actually understands hormonal health. One niche that sets you apart in a market where most practitioners are still working without this lens.
£995 is not the cost of this programme. It's the starting point for what it makes possible.
Funding this yourself?
Payment plans are available. Spread the cost across 4 or 6 instalments at no extra charge. The learning and the outcomes are exactly the same.
Is this CPD-fundable?
If you work within an organisation or have a professional development budget, this programme may be fundable through it. Many participants access similar programmes through CPD or training budgets. We're happy to provide a formal invoice and programme outline to support any application you need to make.
10 places. No exceptions.
The cohort is intentionally small - 10 participant only. This is what makes the learning deep, the community tight-knit, and the 1:1 access to Clare possible. When these places are gone, they're gone.
The November cohort is the only intake in 2026.
Still have questions?
Do I need prior knowledge of women's hormonal health?
Not at all. This programme is designed to build your understanding from the ground up, with enough rigour to be genuinely useful clinically, and enough clarity to be accessible regardless of your starting point. The only prerequisite is the desire to learn and the commitment to apply it.
Do I need to attend every session live?
We'd love you to join live. That's where the depth, the discussion and the peer connection happen. All sessions are recorded so you'll never miss content, but we recommend attending at least three of the four masterclasses live. The programme is designed as a cohort experience and that's where a lot of the value lives.
I'm a psychologist or therapist. Is this appropriate for my registration body's CPD requirements?
This programme provides structured CPD hours in a specialist area of practice. Whether it meets your specific body's criteria depends on their requirements, so we'd recommend checking before you apply. We're happy to provide documentation to support any CPD log or application. Many coaching, nutritional and wellness professional bodies are likely to accept this programme.
Will this cross into clinical or medical territory?
No, and this is something we are clear about throughout. This programme does not provide clinical training and does not qualify you to diagnose, treat or medically manage hormonal conditions. It is a professional development programme designed to deepen your contextual understanding of your clients' hormonal health, so you can work more effectively within your existing scope. You will leave knowing more and knowing more clearly where your scope ends and where to signpost.
When does the 1:1 session happen?
After the programme ends, scheduled individually at a time that works for you and Clare. You'll come with your practice audit findings, your integration plan draft, and your questions. It's a working conversation, not a coaching check-in.
Can I join from outside the UK?
Absolutely. The science is universal and the practice frameworks apply across modalities and geographies. Sessions run 12–1.30pm UK time, which is accessible across Europe and workable for early risers in other time zones. All sessions are recorded.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
Places on this programme are non-refundable. Because the cohort is intentionally small and places are allocated through an application process, we're unable to offer refunds once your place is confirmed. If you're unable to attend, you're welcome to transfer your place to a colleague at any point before the programme begins at no extra cost. Just let us know.
