The menopause can have many different symptoms, many are physical but others can be psychological. These can all affect your home life and work life. The symptoms of the menopause can be so varied that many women don’t even realise that some of what they are experiencing could be connected to the menopause. At times this means the symptoms may be diagnosed as something else and women may go without receiving the right treatment for their menopause. If you think you may be suffering from symptoms of the menopause but you aren’t sure, then we can discuss further with you and help advise you on what stage of your journey you may be at. Sometimes Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may be recommended to help manage your symptoms, but this is not always the case. It is important to remember that HRT doesn’t work for all women so it is important to explore other options available too.

Testimonials
Was so good to speak to a GP face to face with all the knowledge regarding menopause and the challenges it brings. I found it reassuring to know that my symptoms were not uncommon and the advice I was given was helpful. The doctor was so lovely to chat too and very empathetic. I felt at ease from the moment I arrived and didn’t feel rushed at any point. I found the appointment system easy to navigate and the clinic easy to find. Don’t hesitate in contacting this clinic if you are struggling or need advice. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to seek help.
I had been struggling with menopause symptoms for years. I had started HRT but had a recent increase in anxiety. My GP is great but I felt my 45 minute consultation enabled the doctor more time than a usual GP appointment to explore my complex case. I found Emma, the doctor I saw, to be honest and quickly differentiated between menopause induced anxiety and other causes. She also identified the need to increase one of my HRT meds. I liked how she also discussed non pharmacological options to manage menopause symptoms. I was also sent relevant follow up information and free samples after the appointment. Overall the service was friendly and informative and helped me select the next right steps to wellness. Would highly recommend the Menopause Health Highland Clinic.
Prior to attending the clinic I was unsure and unclear about the Menopause if I am being totally honest. However, I was able to share my thoughts and concerns with Dr Emma. The discussion was solely about me and my symptoms and we discussed the various options that were suitable, available and relevant to me. No pressure was applied to take any particular treatment and I left with the comfort that I could contact the clinic or rearrange an appointment at any time going forward. This support was not a one off. That in itself has been so reassuring and I believe has been a major contributor to lifting my previously experienced low mood.
Since 2022 I suffered menopausal symptoms resulting in me having severe depression and suicidal thoughts. I visited the Menopause Health Highland clinic when I was at my lowest ebb. At our first meeting, Emma and Beth showed my husband and I great kindness, patience and empathy. They listened to us when we felt nobody else was. The treatment plan I received has allowed me to return to my normal life. I no longer have negative thoughts, I am not suffering with depression and am loving life again. I cannot thank Emma and Beth enough – they literally saved my life.
