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.

Even gentle movement can make a big difference during menopause.

Whether it’s a short walk, some stretching, or a bit of mindful meditation, keeping active helps with mood, sleep, and overall wellbeing 🏃‍♀️🧘‍♀️🌸

It’s completely normal to have changes or unexpected bleeds on HRT, even after years without periods.

Understanding why these things happen can be such a relief, and often just means your treatment needs a little adjustment 🌿💜

13/03/2026

I often hear women worrying about how long they should take HRT. The truth is, there’s no set time – it’s all about what feels right for you. NICE guidance doesn’t put arbitrary limits on use 🌿💜

As we move into March and the days start to get lighter and warmer, many of us feel our mood lift, and there’s actually a reason for that. ☀️

More sunlight can help boost vitamin D levels and support our wellbeing, which plays an important role in bone health, mood, and overall energy.

It’s also a gentle reminder to look after ourselves as the seasons change, whether that’s spending a little more time outdoors, reviewing our nutrition, or simply checking in with how we’re feeling. 💛

Menopause is a natural part of life – something all women will go through. 💛

It happens when our ovaries gradually stop producing oestrogen and progesterone, and periods eventually stop. Hormone levels can fluctuate for years before they settle.

It can feel confusing, but you’re not alone – understanding what’s happening is the first step to feeling in control.

Today is about celebrating women - our strength, resilience, and the different journeys we all experience.

For many women, that journey includes menopause. Yet it’s still something that isn’t talked about enough, despite affecting every woman at some stage of life. Understanding menopause, recognising symptoms, and knowing that support is available is empowering.

This International Women’s Day, let’s keep the conversation going - because women deserve clear information, compassionate care, and the confidence to make informed choices about their health. 💛

Did you know that 1 in 100 women experience menopause under the age of 40? This is known as premature menopause - and for many women, it can feel unexpected, confusing, and overwhelming. 💛

I’m passionate about helping women understand what’s happening to their bodies, so they feel informed, supported, and confident in the choices they make about their health.

If this is something you’d like to understand more, I’m here to help.

As we step into March, many women tell me they’re noticing changes in their hair - thinning, shedding, or loss of volume - and I want you to know you’re not alone.

Menopause can affect the hair growth cycle, which can feel really upsetting, especially when hair is such an important part of how we see ourselves.

If this sounds familiar, I have a blog explaining what’s happening and what can help. 💛

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or just not quite yourself lately… please know you don’t have to figure this out alone.

If you’d like guidance tailored to you, I’m here to help.

Menopause can feel like a long winter... ❄️

Low mood. Broken sleep. Heavy fatigue.

But as we move towards spring, there’s something powerful about the lighter mornings and longer days.

More natural light can help regulate sleep and lift mood. Warmer weather can gently
encourage more movement and fresh energy!

If you’re looking forward to brighter days, drop a 🌷 in the comments and tell me what you’re hoping to feel more of this spring.

Did you know your evening glass of wine could be turning up the heat on your hot flushes… and inviting 3am wake-ups too? 🌙

Red wine can trigger more intense flushes, night sweats and broken sleep, while clear spirits can sometimes be better tolerated. And although up to 14 units a week (with a few alcohol-free days) sits within general guidance, your menopause body may have its own opinion.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I suddenly wide awake after a couple of drinks?” - you’re not imagining it!

I’m curious… have you noticed a difference between red wine, white wine or spirits? Tell me in the comments. 👇

13/02/2026

Hearing words like this means so much to me. 💛

When someone leaves a consultation feeling informed, relieved and hopeful, I know we’ve found the right way forward together. I’ll always listen carefully, ask gently, and explain everything clearly so you can make decisions with confidence.
