The Hereford Menopause Clinic
We’re here to listen and support you
Welcome to the home of The Hereford Menopause Clinic. The perimenopause and menopause can be a challenging time of life for many women. As well as multiple and varied symptoms which can have a negative impact on quality of life, the hormone deficiencies experienced during the menopause have significant implications for future health, including bone and cardiovascular health. Our experienced doctors are here to listen to you and support you with advice and evidence-based treatments to improve this phase of your life and help you optimise future health. You will find us nestled within the sumptuous surroundings of The Wye Clinic in central Hereford, a beautiful building that was lovingly refurbished to modern healthcare standards in 2021.
We explore all options
Hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) is one of many treatments to optimise the menopause experience and our doctors can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the various different treatment options and will be able to prescribe treatment if appropriate at the time of your consultation. Other management options they can explore with you include nutritional advice, exercise programmes and, in some cases, psychological evaluation. Whatever treatment is recommended, we are here to help and support you. Occasionally blood tests are suggested to help guide your treatment and we can arrange these if necessary.
We take a holistic approach

Holly’s medical journey started at Leicester Medical School in 2004 continuing on to the West Midlands where she completed her training as a GP, becoming a member of the Royal College of General Practitioners in 2014. She then made her way home to Herefordshire, joining a local GP surgery.
Women’s health has always been a keen interest of hers. She is an educator in family planning and sexual health, coil and implant fitting, as well as a tutor to GP trainees.
Holly's dedication to helping women with the menopause was born out of seeing countless struggling women in her practice.
Acutely aware of the widespread misinformation resulting in a legacy of fear, Holly developed her expertise and holds the British Menopause Society Advanced Certificate in the Principles and Practice of Menopause Care.
Harnessing her passion and skills, Holly takes a holistic approach using her training with the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine to help women understand all aspects of their health and well-being. They can then better navigate their individual journey through the perimenopause. Empowering women to make positive, personalised choices, Holly firmly believes medicine is more than just treating illness; it is about communicating and connecting with the individual.
