Stress Awareness Month with Jo Benians ❤️⁠
⁠
Stress is something we all experience - but when it becomes prolonged or overwhelming, it can begin to impact both our mental and physical wellbeing.⁠
⁠
At Westminster Women’s Clinic, we believe in recognising stress early and supporting women with practical, sustainable ways to manage it.⁠
⁠
Our Counsellor and Therapist Jo Benians, shares her expert insights⁠
⁠
"While some stress can be a natural and even motivating part of life, unmanaged stress can take a real toll on our health. Developing healthy regulation strategies is key.⁠
⁠
Here are some simple, yet very effective ways to support yourself⁠
⁠
⭐️ Build awareness - Notice early signs such as irritability, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating⁠
⭐️ Use your breath - Slow, deep breathing can quickly calm the nervous system⁠
⭐️ Move your body - Even a short walk or gentle stretching can release tension and boost mood⁠
⭐️ Set boundaries - Learning to say no and managing expectations helps prevent overwhelm⁠
⭐️ Prioritise sleep - A consistent routine supports emotional resilience⁠
⭐️ Practice mindfulness - Taking moments to pause can help quiet racing thoughts⁠
⭐️ Stay connected - Talking to others provides support and perspective⁠
⁠
If stress begins to feel unmanageable, seeking professional support can make a significant difference.”⁠

Planning a pregnancy with a medical history?🤰🏻⁠
⁠
Often women who are unsure how a previous pregnancy affected by a condition such as pre-eclampsia - or an existing medical condition - might affect their next.⁠
⁠
A preconception consultation allows us to assess risk, optimise your health, and put a clear plan in place before you try to conceive.⁠
⁠
Our expert Obstetrician and Maternity Medicine Specialist Mr Adam Jakes works alongside you to answer questions such as⁠
⁠
🔶I had pre-eclampsia - what does that mean for next time?⁠
🔶 I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure - is it safe to get pregnant?⁠
🔶 I have had Gestational Diabetes before - how likely is it to recur?⁠
🔶 I experienced severe Cholestasis of Pregnancy with my first child - what does this mean for a future pregnancy?⁠
🔶 I suffer from conditions such as thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, POTs - how might this affect pregnancy?⁠
🔶 I take regular medication - is it safe to continue?⁠
🔶 Is it safe to undergo IVF with a medical condition such as hypertension or raised Body Mass Index?⁠
🔶 Am I in the best possible health before trying to conceive?⁠
⁠
Preconception care is about planning, not reacting - ensuring you go into pregnancy as informed and supported as possible.⁠
⁠
At Westminster Women’s Clinic, we take a multidisciplinary approach, supporting you from preconception through to pregnancy and beyond.⁠

Are You Curious About Your Genetic Health? 🧬⁠
⁠
Cancer can be linked to inherited gene changes.⁠
⁠
This is why exploring your family history may offer reassurance - or provide important information to help you make proactive decisions.⁠
⁠
At Westminster Women’s Clinic, our Genetic Counselling appointments with Monika Kosicka-Slawinska explore your personal and family history in detail. ⁠
⁠
Using a three-generation family tree, Monika assesses whether there may be an inherited predisposition - such as BRCA or Lynch syndrome - and what that could mean for you.⁠
⁠
If appropriate, genetic testing can be arranged through a UKAS-accredited laboratory using next-generation sequencing. Results are carefully explained in a follow-up appointment, with clear guidance on screening, prevention and implications for family members.⁠
⁠
Genetic counselling isn’t just about testing.⁠
⁠
It is about understanding your risk, asking informed questions and making confident decisions about your health 🩺⁠

Profhilo vs Dermal Fillers – what is the difference? ✨⁠
⁠
Our expert Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Miss Yasemin Tavsanoglu explains that not all injectable treatments are designed to change shape, and some are about improving skin quality.⁠
⁠
💧 Profhilo⁠
⁠
Think of Profhilo as a super high-purity hyaluronic acid skin booster providing deep hydration for your skin.⁠
⁠
✔️ Boosts hydration⁠
✔️ Improves elasticity & firmness⁠
✔️ Stimulates collagen and elastin⁠
✔️ Gives a healthy, natural glow⁠
⁠
🚫 It does not add volume, sculpt or contour, or change facial shape.⁠
⁠
It is best for⁠
• Crepey or thinning skin⁠
• Early signs of sagging⁠
• Dull or dehydrated skin⁠
• Subtle rejuvenation without an obvious “done” look⁠
⁠
🏗️ Dermal Fillers⁠
⁠
Think of fillers as structural - they are designed to shape and contour, by watering and fertilising your skin.⁠
⁠
✔️ Restore volume⁠
✔️ Plump lips⁠
✔️ Lift cheeks⁠
✔️ Define the jawline⁠
✔️ Soften deep lines⁠
⁠
They are best for ⁠
⁠
• Volume loss⁠
• Deeper folds⁠
• Facial contouring⁠
• Structural enhancement⁠
⁠
⁠
The right treatment is always individual - and in some cases, a combination works best.⁠

Did you know…? ✨⁠
⁠
Westminster Women’s Clinic has been nominated for Menopause Practice of the Year!⁠
⁠
Here are 4 reasons why our menopause service lead by Dr Anna Cantlay stands out⁠
⁠

Menopause care doesn’t exist in isolation. Our patients benefit from integrated input across gynaecology, general practice, mental health, physiotherapy, and weight management - all working together under one roof.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Expert-led, evidence-based care⁠
Every consultation is led by our experienced specialists, grounded in the latest research and clinical guidance.⁠

⁠
4️⃣ Care that supports long-term health⁠
Our approach goes beyond symptom relief - focusing on bone, cardiovascular, cognitive and emotional health - supporting women now and into the future.⁠
⁠
We are incredibly proud of our team and grateful to the women who trust us with their care 🤍⁠

Winter Skin Care Tips ❄️⁠
⁠
Our Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Miss Yasemin Tavsanoglu is at a medical conference this week in the snow - and with cold temperatures, wind and low humidity everywhere, there is no better time to share some essential winter skin advice!⁠
⁠
Winter weather can weaken the skin barrier and increase moisture loss, leading to dryness, sensitivity and irritation.⁠
⁠
Here are Yasemin's top tips for protecting your skin⁠
⁠
✨ Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser to avoid stripping natural oils⁠
⁠
✨ Switch to a richer moisturiser with barrier-supporting ingredients such as ceramides and shea butter⁠
⁠
✨ Apply sunscreen daily - snow reflects UV rays and can increase sun exposure⁠
⁠
✨ Protect lips with a thick, nourishing lip balm to prevent cracking⁠
⁠
✨ Avoid hot water on the face - which can further damage the skin barrier⁠
⁠
✨ Limit exfoliating acids and retinoids, as these can increase irritation and dryness in winter⁠
⁠
Healthy skin starts with protecting your barrier, especially when the temperature drops.⁠
⁠
If your skin feels persistently dry, reactive or inflamed, a personalised skin assessment can make all the difference.⁠

Thinking about a Weight Management Programme? ⭐️⁠
⁠
For many women, weight changes aren’t simply about food or willpower. ⁠
⁠
Hormones, stress, sleep, life stage, medical conditions and medications can all play a role.⁠
⁠
That is where a clinically supervised weight management programme under GP Specialist Dr Nina Bjurstrom can help.⁠
⁠
🩺 It offers structure and support⁠
🩺 Looks at the why - not just the number on the scales⁠
🩺 Is tailored to your body, health history and goals⁠
🩺 Focuses on sustainable change - not quick fixes⁠
⁠
At Westminster Women’s Clinic, Nina's approach goes beyond calories and charts. She considers hormonal health, metabolic factors, lifestyle, mental wellbeing and long-term health - supporting women through perimenopause, menopause, post-pregnancy and beyond.⁠
⁠
Because effective weight management isn’t about restriction -⁠
it is about understanding your body and working with it.⁠
⁠
If you have been doing “all the right things” but not seeing results, you don’t have to navigate this issue alone.⁠
