I’ve parented from bed because I had nothing left. I’ve called in sick when I wasn’t physically sick but couldn’t cope. I’ve picked fights with my husband for no real reason except that everything felt unbearable. I’ve had intrusive thoughts that scared me. In my luteal phase I couldn’t drive without clipping the car, couldn’t send a text, and would disappear from my own life for a week every month. I know how chaotic and lonely it feels because I’ve been there. And I also know you can pull yourself out of that spiral with the right support, tools, and structure.
YOU HAVE PMDD.
Hey, you're not. BROKEN.
My philosophy is simple. Women deserve support that actually understands what their life looks like in the hard weeks. This work is grounded in honesty, evidence, and lived experience. No fluff. No pretending everything is fine. Just practical tools, real conversation, and a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Here, strength isn’t about pushing through. It’s about knowing yourself, backing yourself, and getting the right help at the right time.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hey, I'm Amanda Westphal
REGISTERED COUNSELLOR
I’m a third generation survivor and Australia’s leading PMDD counsellor. I’m also a mum to two energetic boys, married to Tim, and we share our home with Tiff, our cuddly Dalmatian. Life here is loud, busy, and full of heart.
When I’m not supporting women, I’m at pilates, painting to unwind, reading thrillers, or staying active with a workout or walk with Tiff. I value balance, connection, and finding small moments of joy, even when life gets messy.
TRUST ME
I've been in
your shoes
And then things changed
Once I was finally diagnosed, I used my experience as a registered counsellor to dive into different therapeutic modalities, determined to find what truly works for PMDD. I carefully selected the most effective strategies from a range of approaches and created a program of tools that deliver real results. It worked for me—and then it worked for the hundreds of women I’ve helped since.
Amanda has LITERALLY changed my LIFE and way of coping.
J.B. Sydney. 38.
