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.

I am often asked, “Will I need blood tests?” 💛

Generally, no—most women don’t need them to diagnose menopause, according to NICE guidance. Occasionally they can be helpful, for example for younger women, those not getting symptom relief, or if taking testosterone. I usually encourage NHS investigations, but private tests can also be arranged if needed.

Menopause can feel overwhelming: sleepless nights, hot flushes, brain fog, low mood, joint pain, low libido… the list goes on. At Menopause Expert Ltd, I support all women—including those with progestogen intolerance, post-cancer, or early menopause/POI—helping you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

I love hearing feedback like this 💛:

"I felt listened to and instantly felt better just for this reason alone. Kathie explained everything thoroughly so I felt I came away more knowledgeable and with a plan in place."

It’s so rewarding to know that feeling heard and supported can make such a difference.

When we meet, we’ll look at all the treatment options together, based on your health and lifestyle. 💛 From HRT to lifestyle changes, non-hormonal treatments, or even CBT, we’ll create a plan that’s just for you.

I’m also here for ongoing support - whether by phone, email, or a follow-up appointment to review how things are going and adjust your treatment if needed. Prescriptions can usually be issued at your first appointment, so you can get started right away.

I often get asked how long HRT should be taken. The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all. 💛

You can take it for as long—or as little—as feels right for you.

NICE guidance doesn’t set arbitrary time limits, so it’s all about what works for your body and your life.

I often hear from women about a topic that isn’t discussed enough: pelvic floor changes during menopause.

These muscles can weaken over time, sometimes causing prolapse, incontinence, or a feeling of heaviness. It can be frustrating and impact confidence.

The great news is that simple steps – regular pelvic floor exercises, local oestrogen treatments, and small lifestyle adjustments – can make a real difference.

It’s never too early or too late to start looking after your pelvic floor. 💛

I know menopause can feel overwhelming, especially when life feels full of competing roles – caring for family, work, and everything in between. Many women tell me they feel isolated, exhausted, or like they’ve lost a sense of themselves.

I offer face-to-face, phone, and video consultations in a relaxed, supportive environment in central Liverpool. Whatever your situation – including progestogen intolerance, post-cancer, or early menopause – I’ll listen and take the time you need.

My goal? To help you feel a little more like yourself again. 💛

I know menopause can feel overwhelming, and the symptoms can really affect daily life. 💛

HRT (hormone replacement therapy) can help by replacing the hormones your body loses — mainly oestrogen, but sometimes progesterone and testosterone too. It comes in tablets, patches, gels, or sprays, and it can take a little trial and adjustment to find what works best for you.

If you want to talk through your options, I’m here — email me at katcooke6@gmail.com

Hi, I’m Kathie! 💛

After years in gynaecology, I’ve learned how important it is to be approachable, supportive, and empathetic. Running my private clinic lets me really listen to each woman’s needs and offer personalised care.

I also teach, present, and contribute to menopause research – all to help women feel informed, supported, and confident through this stage of life.

So glad you’re here – you’re not alone! 🌸
