Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a medical appointment?
No. Although I am a GP and menopause specialist, this service is not a medical consultation.
These sessions focus on emotional wellbeing, psychological support, and helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing.
I will not diagnose, prescribe, interpret tests, or provide medical treatment.
Do you work in-person or online?
Both — you choose what suits you.
You can mix and match between in-person and video sessions.
Can you advise me on HRT or medication?
I can explain how treatments work in general, but I will not recommend or adjust specific medications.
I can help you explore your feelings about treatment decisions and prepare questions for your healthcare provider.

How many sessions will I need?
Some people have one or two sessions, other have a few, some having ongoing, and others pop back now and again
when they need to go over something else that has happened in their life. I do not dictate the frequency or number of
sessions, as I appreciate the time and financial commitment.
Is everything confidential?
Yes — within normal safeguarding boundaries, explained at your first session.
