I grew up in the West Midlands and graduated from University of Leicester in 1997 after completing my medical degree MBChB. I felt my vocation lay in caring for patients and understanding their needs and therefore I perused a career in general practice. I have over 20 years’ experience in General Practice, with a special interest in women’s health. I attained membership for the e Royal College of General Practitioners in 2002 and hold the diploma for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
I am a member of the British Menopause Society. I have been a GP Partner for more than 17 years, and I am also an undergraduate tutor at Leicester University Medical School, teaching wellbeing and stress management.
As a female GP who works in the NHS, I am increasingly aware of the acute, unmet needs for women that are perimenopausal and menopausal. I am also aware of the time constraints that are present in the NHS to be able to deliver this care. I have an interest and an understanding of the menopause from my experience in the NHS and from my continued commitment to attending courses and events to keep abreast of the latest updates in menopause management.
I believe in empowering women to help make informed decisions about managing their menopause by offering them evidence-based solutions which are safe and practice within the guidelines set out by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE).
I currently live in Leicestershire with my husband, teenage daughter, and ragdoll cat. I enjoy exercising, cooking, and socialising with my friends and family.

We offer both video and telephone consultations to patients living in the UK.
We are unfortunately unable to offer overseas consultations due to limitations in our insurance.
You do not need a referral letter from a GP or other doctor. the majority of women self refer to the clinic.
We see women experiencing perimenopause – who are still having periods / irregular periods and menopausal women who have finished their periods. please see our menopause symptom checker page.
The safest types of HRT are the ‘body identical hormones’ these are the same as the hormones in our body.
You may have heard of compounded bioidentical hormones. these are not regulated and are not subject to any quality control. there is no evidence-based medicine to suggest these help and we do not prescribe compounded HRT at the clinic.
