Your first year, planned from the start

New treatments take time to settle, so care is planned across the year rather than squeezed into one appointment. Each bar below is drawn to the length of the appointment itself.

See every step in detail
Your first year: an initial 60-minute consultation in month 0 with a written plan, a 30-minute follow-up around month 3, and a 30-minute annual review at month 12.
  1. Month 0 Initial consultation, 60 minutes, £250. History, options, your plan.
  2. Month 0 Written plan. Summary and GP letter within days.
  3. Month 3 Follow-up, 30 minutes, £140. How treatment is settling.
  4. Month 12 Annual review, 30 minutes, £140. Benefits, risks, next year.

Typical first-year consultation cost £530 Prescriptions and any tests are charged separately and always explained first.

You know something has changed

Maybe you wake hot at 3am, lose words mid-sentence, or feel anxious in a way that isn’t like you. Perhaps you’ve been told it’s stress, or you haven’t had the time to talk your options through properly. Perimenopause and menopause can touch every part of life, and they deserve more than ten minutes.

Four appointments. Every fee on the packet.

You’ll know the length, the price and exactly what’s included before you book. Same doctor, same fee, face to face or by video.
