Specialist Hormone Care You Can Trust

BMS trained menopause specialists in Edinburgh

Founded by Dr Naomi Potter in 2019, Menopause Care brings together one of the UK’s most experienced teams of GPs, consultants, BMS accredited menopause specialists, registered nutritionists and lifestyle medicine clinicians. We also offer access to CBT and hypnosis for menopause, providing supportive, evidence based care for women at every stage.

Hormonal changes during PMS, perimenopause and menopause can influence emotional wellbeing, sleep, physical health and day to day confidence. Many women tell us, “I just don’t feel like myself.” More than 70 percent experience symptoms that affect daily life, yet specialist support can be difficult to find.

Our service was created to change this.

If you live in Edinburgh or surrounding areas, including North Berwick, South Queensferry, East Lothian, St Andrews or Berwick upon Tweed, and you are looking for clear, compassionate hormone care, our team is here to support you.

Menopause Specialists Edinburgh

We offer online video consultations, giving you access to an expert from the comfort of your home or workplace. This ensures you have dedicated time to be heard and to create a personalised plan for both your current symptoms and your longer term health.

Our approach

• We listen attentively
• We offer balanced, evidence informed medical advice
• We work with you to build a plan that suits your life, values and goals

Your treatment may include HRT, non hormonal options, nutritional and lifestyle advice, CBT or hypnosis, or weight management support when appropriate.

Our aim is to give you clarity and confidence so you can make informed decisions about your wellbeing.

Support Across All Stages

Many women come to us feeling unsure about what is happening to their bodies. You may have been navigating symptoms for months or years, or may have recently started to notice changes. Both experiences are very common.

HRT treatment in Edinburgh

You may already be using HRT and feel uncertain about whether it is the right type, dose or combination. You may have questions about safety, side effects or what is considered normal.

We take a calm, thorough approach. We explore your symptoms, your history and your goals, and help you understand the hormonal patterns that may be contributing. Lifestyle and stress factors are also considered, as these often influence how symptoms present.

Where helpful, we can

• adjust HRT type and dose
• arrange blood tests
• consider testosterone therapy or non hormonal medications
• discuss supplements or supportive therapies that may benefit you

Your Specialist Consultation

Your consultation provides a private, supportive space to discuss the physical, emotional and cognitive changes you have been experiencing.

We often explore

Hormone Replacement Therapy Edinburgh

We use regulated, body identical HRT as recommended by the British Menopause Society.

These high quality, safety tested hormones closely match those naturally produced by the body.

Other hormonal treatments can be used when needed to support bleeding patterns or manage side effects.

If blood tests are indicated, we arrange them locally or via home testing. When relevant, we can also advise on referrals to other services.

You will receive a detailed clinic letter summarising your plan to keep for your records or share with your GP.

Follow up appointments are usually arranged to monitor progress, renew prescriptions and adjust treatment as needed.
