Private Health Clinic Specialising in Menopause Care

30/08/2026

Before changing anything, I want to understand what’s actually going on.

What’s better?
Is anything worse?
What’s still really bothering you?
Has your HRT had enough time to work?
Could the HRT itself be contributing to how you feel?
Are you using your HRT in the right way?
What else is going on in your life right now?

Because feeling exhausted, anxious, foggy, flat, achy or simply not like yourself can happen around menopause — but hormones aren’t always the whole story.

As a pharmacist for over 20 years, one thing I’ve learned is that more medicine doesn’t necessarily mean better treatment.

Sometimes HRT needs adjusting. Sometimes a different preparation may suit you better. Sometimes it needs more time. And sometimes we need to look beyond HRT altogether.

This is the kind of untangling I do every day in my specialist menopause consultations.

If you’re using HRT but still thinking “I just don’t feel right”, you don’t have to work out what needs changing on your own.

Appointments are available via the link in my bio.

The goal isn’t more treatment. It’s the right treatment for you.

Why are you still trying to figure all of this out on your own?

Menopause is rarely simple. Hormones, health, medicines and life can all be part of the picture.

I’ve spent 22 years as a pharmacist helping people make sense of their health. I’m BMS trained and completing advanced specialist menopause training.

I’ll listen. We’ll work through what’s going on and what matters to YOU.

If you’re tired of trying to work it all out yourself, let me help you untangle it.

It would be easy to blame perimenopause.

Sometimes it is.

But sometimes it isn’t.

Feeling exhausted in midlife could be linked to changing hormones, but it could also be poor sleep, iron deficiency, thyroid disease, uncontrolled asthma, stress, low mood, medication, nutrition, alcohol, blood sugar, or simply trying to carry too much for too long.

If we assume it’s hormones without asking the right questions, we risk treating the wrong thing.

That’s why, before I ever think about changing HRT, I’m asking:

• What are we actually trying to improve?
• What else could be contributing?
• What are we missing?

Because good menopause care isn’t about giving more hormones.

It’s about understanding the whole picture.

Sometimes the answer is HRT.

Sometimes it’s changing your HRT.

Sometimes it’s treating something completely different.

The goal isn’t to give you more treatment. It’s to give you the right treatment.

This is a positive step forward for menopause care in Scotland.

No woman should have to suffer because there isn’t a treatment option that works for them. Expanding treatment options means more women may be able to find an approach that works for them, helping improve their quality of life and reducing unnecessary suffering.

I’ll say the quiet bit out loud.

As a specialist pharmacist, I love medicines.

When they’re prescribed for the right person, at the right dose, for the right reason, they can be life-changing.

But HRT is still a medicine.

It’s not just something you collect from the pharmacy and hope for the best.

By the end of your appointment, you should understand:

• Why HRT has been recommended for you.

• How to use it correctly.

• When to use it.

• When you might start noticing a difference.

• What side effects you might experience.

• When your treatment should be reviewed.

• When to ask for help.

Understanding your treatment isn’t a luxury.

It’s part of good healthcare.

Because when you understand why you’re taking something and how to use it, you’re much more likely to use it confidently, safely and get the best from it.

If you’ve ever left an appointment with more questions than answers, leave a 💛 below. I think every woman deserves to understand her treatment, not just be prescribed it.

A new fact sheet released today by Women’s Health Concern looks at the role of hormone blood tests in the menopause transition.

One of the biggest misconceptions I see is women believing a hormone blood test will provide all the answers.

The reality is that hormone levels fluctuate significantly during perimenopause. A single blood test cannot tell us:
• how severe your symptoms are
• how long they will last
• whether you need treatment
• what dose of HRT is right for you

In most women aged 45–55, symptoms, menstrual history, medical history and the impact on daily life are usually far more useful than a hormone blood test.

That said, hormone testing does still have a role in some situations. For example:
• investigating menopause symptoms in younger women (particularly under 45, and especially when menopause is suspected under 40)
• before prescribing testosterone
• occasionally when assessing HRT absorption in specific situations.

As with most things in menopause care, context matters.

The full fact sheet is well worth a read:

Menopause care is about listening to the story, not just chasing a number 💛

PCOS is being renamed PMOS —>
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome
to better reflect the true nature of the condition.

For years, the name ‘Polycystic O***y Syndrome’has been misleading. Many women with PCOS don’t actually have ovarian cysts, and the condition involves far more than the ovaries alone.

It’s a complex hormonal, endocrine and metabolic condition that can affect many areas of health.

The proposed name change follows years of global research and collaboration with women living with the condition, healthcare professionals and patient organisations.

Support for the change is strong, with many believing it could improve:

✨ awareness
✨ earlier diagnosis
✨ understanding
✨ access to better care
✨ future research and funding

There will be a transition period where both PCOS and PMOS are used while awareness grows.

Most importantly, women living with the condition helped drive this change and their voices have been central to the conversation ❤️

Today marks 2 years of my menopause clinic.

I set this up to give women something that was often missing.

Time to talk.
To feel heard.
To feel hopeful.
To understand what’s happening in their bodies and what can be done to help.

This week alone has been a reminder of that.

Not every consultation is straightforward.
It’s not just about prescribing HRT and moving on.

It’s about listening.
Understanding.
Creating a space where women feel comfortable enough to talk, to ask questions and sometimes to cry.

Even the questions they’ve felt too embarrassed to ask before.

Not here.

I’m fiercely passionate about helping women navigate this stage of life with the right support, information and care.

Thank you to every woman who has trusted me over the past two years.

It’s a privilege to do this work.
