Menopause can be overwhelming. Many women don't realise that how they are feeling is due to menopau I’m a good listener too. Highly recommended.”
GS, May 2020

Hello, I’m Kathie, a Gynaecology Consultant Nurse, with 30 years’ extensive experience in all aspects of women's health care. I am passionate about educating and supporting women to make informed decisions about their health and my particular area of expertise is menopause care. I am registered with the British Menopause Society (BMS) as a Menopause Specialist. This means that the advice I give can be trusted to be accurate and individualised. My registration requires that I keep my knowledge up-to-date and re-validate every 3 years. For more information about BMS registered menopause specialists click here. I have provided NHS Menopause clinics since 2012, and opened my private clinic September 2019. Having my own clinic is so rewarding; although I always try to give as much as possible to every client - both private and NHS - having an hour rather then 20 minutes makes a huge difference and allows “time” to really talk and work out solutions for each individual client. there’s also a number of prescription medications that are not available via NHS prescribing that I can recommend and prescribe privately, giving my private clients more options and possibly better symptom control. Sleeplessness, hot flushes, irritability, low mood, anxiety, panic, brain fog, headaches, joint pain, poor memory and concentration, exhaustion and loss of confidence are all very common symptoms. Menopause can occur spontaneously at any age, and can be particularly distressing for women who have not started or completed their families. Many cancer treatments can also lead to menopause - and women recovering from the trauma of a cancer diagnosis also find themselves having to deal with the rollercoaster of menopause. Women often describe loosing their identity, and feeling invisible. Relationships with loved ones and friends can become strained and breakdown; I have met many women who feel they can no longer cope and have resigned from their jobs. For many women HRT can be really beneficial - and is recognised in NICE guidance as first line treatment for menopause symptoms - however, for women who are avoiding hormone treatment for whatever reason, there are alternatives. I find there is generally always something that can be done to improve quality of life. Being a nurse, I have an approachable, down to earth manner. I take pride in my job, and genuinely treat my clients as I would want a friend or relative to be treated.
“Kathie was so easy to talk to and I immediately felt supported. My own GP was very unhelpful and it was a huge relief to talk to an expert on the matter. I've started treatment and feel much much better. No sweats anymore improved sleep and feeling much more confident. Concentration much better and feeling a lot happier. Wish all women could get this great service and support.

This Christmas, remember to be kind to yourself 🎄

Menopause can make this season feel more tiring and emotional than expected. Taking time to rest, breathe and care for yourself really matters.

Reach out if you have questions or would like support. 💛

“Life doesn’t end with menopause; it’s the beginning of a new adventure.”

This stage isn’t about loss - it’s about embracing change, knowing your body, and stepping into a new chapter with confidence.

I often hear from women who feel like their brains are in “cotton wool” during menopause. 😔 Forgetting keys, phone numbers, or why you went to the shops can be frustrating - and sometimes worrying.

If it’s affecting your daily life, I’m here to help - you can book a one-to-one online appointment with me today and get personalised guidance.

Did you know menopause can make hangovers worse? 😣

I see so many women surprised by this. As our bodies change, alcohol stays in our system longer and tolerance can drop, making a night out feel rougher than it used to.

You’re not imagining it - it’s just part of this stage of life. 💛

Today I’m wearing my white ribbon to show my support for White Ribbon Day.

As someone who works closely with women every day, I see how deeply safety, respect and feeling heard matter to our wellbeing - especially during vulnerable times like menopause.

I’m speaking up for women and girls everywhere, and I hope you’ll feel encouraged to do the same. 🤍

Yes — mood swings can absolutely be a symptom of menopause. But they’re only one part of the psychological picture.

So many women I work with also experience irritability, anxiety, difficulty coping, forgetfulness and trouble concentrating - often without realising these can be linked to hormonal change.

If you’re feeling this way, please know you’re not alone, and you’re not “just being emotional.” There are reasons behind it, and there is support! Send me a message if you think you need support.

Migraine can really ramp up during perimenopause, and those shifting hormone levels are often the culprit. For many women, the right type of HRT can ease symptoms - it’s just about finding steady, consistent support.

If you’re struggling, please know you’re not on your own. There are options, and you deserve to feel better. 💛

💡 Did you know? HRT doesn’t protect against pregnancy.

If you’re still avoiding pregnancy, you’ll need contraception for:

- 2 years after your last period if it ends naturally before 50
- 1 year after your last period if it ends naturally after 50
- You can stop contraception completely at 55.

I know it can feel confusing, but I’m here to help you understand what’s right for you.

14/11/2025

I’m always so grateful when clients share their experiences. 💚

It’s wonderful to hear that my practical advice and personalised support are helping someone manage their menopause symptoms, including memory changes, and feel more in control.

If you’re struggling too, I’m here to guide you through your options and find what works for you.

Many women tell me they notice changes in memory and concentration during menopause - misplacing keys, forgetting shopping lists, or struggling to recall numbers. It can feel scary, but this “brain fog” is actually very common. 🌿

You’re not alone, and there are ways to support your memory and feel like yourself again.

Read more on my blog or get in touch if you're facing brain fog.

Before beginning HRT, it’s important to have a full health assessment. This helps identify any existing health conditions that may influence the type, dose, or method of HRT that’s most suitable for you.

It’s equally important to explore which symptoms are affecting you the most and to understand your expectations from HRT. Everyone’s experience is unique, so lifestyle, work patterns, and personal preferences are all taken into account to create a plan that fits your life.

💛 Read more on my website for a full guide to starting HRT.

I’m here to support you through every stage of your menopause journey - one-to-one, personally, and with care. 💛

Together, we’ll discover what works best for you, with tailored advice and guidance every step of the way.
