About

Dr Helena Tucker

I'm an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist specialising in hormonal mental health, and the founder of the CYCLES Training Institute.

You almost certainly have clients right now where hormones are part of the picture. PMS, PMDD, PME, perimenopausal mood shifts, cyclical anxiety or depression. And you almost certainly qualified without anyone teaching you how to identify or work with any of it.

That was my experience too. Years into practice, I recognised the hormonal pattern in my own life. Not because my training had equipped me to see it. Because I stumbled across it.

And once I did, I realised I had never once asked my clients about this. If I hadn't asked, I must have been missing so much, in my assessments, my formulations, my interventions.

So I made it my focus. I trained, I researched, and I spent years co-developing a framework alongside over 250 people living with PMDD and PME, in partnership with the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders. The training I needed did not exist. CYCLES is what we built.
