A women’s health and wellbeing conference is coming to New Brighton this September.

Titled Unfiltered: Women, Hormones and Neurodivergence, the event will be held at New Brighton Cricket Club on Saturday, September 19.

It will explore topics including perimenopause, PMDD, burnout, identity, and carer fatigue through both professional insight and experience.

The event is being hosted by Tiny Tools for Big Feelings CIC, a Wirral-based not-for-profit focused on emotional wellbeing support.

Carly Openshaw, founder of Tiny Tools for Big Feelings and an ADHD and anxiety coach, said: "Too many women are quietly struggling with things they don’t always have the language for – hormones, burnout, neurodivergence, PMDD, anxiety, masking, menopause, and the emotional load of constantly being the strong one.

She continued: "This event is about creating a space where women can hear real conversations, access expert knowledge and feel less alone.

"We want women to leave feeling informed, validated and empowered, not dismissed or overwhelmed."

The speaker line-up includes Dr. Helen Wall, a women’s health GP and menopause specialist, and Abbey Brocklehurst, a psychotherapist.

Dr Walaa Mohamed, a GP, author, empowerment and leadership coach, will also speak at the event.

Attendees can expect expert talks, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.

The event will also feature live music from Sarah Sings, a Wirral-based singer and pianist.

As a fundraiser for Tiny Tools for Big Feelings CIC, the conference will help the organisation continue its work supporting women, children, and families with emotional wellbeing.

Since its launch in 2025, the organisation has delivered community projects focused on improving mental health.

Ms Openshaw said: "Tiny Tools was built from lived experience, professional experience, and a real understanding that early support matters.

"This conference is more than a day out – it is part of our wider mission to make emotional health support more accessible, honest and human."

The event will runs from 10am to 2pm. 

Businesses are invited to support through sponsorship, gift bag contributions, or by funding tickets for women unable to attend otherwise.
