Pause and Co Healthcare

Having been completed ignored by my own GP, it was such a relief to spend time talking to Nadira and to be taken seriously. She is practical, thorough, and compassionate in her approach, and has supported me to make the right lifestyle and medical decisions for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

I reached out to Nadira at one of the hardest times of my life and literally had no support/help from her whatsoever. As she continually reminds everyone she is a full time mother and a full time NHS GP I don’t understand how she thinks she has the time to open a menopause clinic as she has shown me. Takes weeks to reply to any correspondence. Also she certainly has NHS GP mentality on any HRT. She has no up to date knowledge and is very nervous and unsure whilst in a consultation with her. She quoted lots of things that were wrong and outdated as new evidence has suggested. I would not waste your money and go to Menopause specialist who is only doing this full time.

Nadira takes time to listen and gives thorough, practical advice in an accessible format. Thoroughly recommend!

I am going through the Menopause and needed guidance which my usual GP did not give me, even when asked for it. Nadira is an exceptional listener who really helps distill the information from GP's, Hospitals and past healthcare routes so you understand what is happening, and what the best route forward could be. Being informed is empowering, and with Women's health it can sometimes be overwhelming in understanding what options are available to me - Nadira helped forge a path forward.

I can not speak highly enough of Nadira and Pause and Co Healthcare! I came to Nadira after a year battling PMDD and not receiving the help I needed from the nhs. She was so incredibly understanding, she made me feel validated and at ease and really explained everything to me! She was incredibly thorough and supportive and she’s even absolutely hilarious too which helps! Since my appointment with Nadira following her advice and beginning treatment, it has changed my life, there are no words for how grateful I am!

I’ve been under Dr. Awal’s care for almost a year now for support with menopause symptoms, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She is incredibly approachable, empathetic, and open to all discussions. At a time when accessing the right care can be challenging, I truly feel heard and valued by her. Dr. Awal’s treatment plan has had a significant positive impact on both my symptoms and overall quality of life. During my most recent visit, we discussed a new diagnosis, and she created a calm, supportive space to explore and break down all available options. She has been proactive and efficient in updating my care plan to reflect my changing needs, always with a focus on supporting my overall health. Her commitment to her patients is clear - not only through her attentive care, but also through her referrals and advocacy. I genuinely feel supported and empowered with Dr. Awal as part of my healthcare team. Her dedication is truly commendable. Her friendly and approachable manner is most welcomed too.

I cannot recommend Pause and Co Healthcare enough. I was suffering with really bad peri-menopause symptoms and my doctor really wasn't being much help. I took the step to contact Nadira and I am so glad I did, she actually listens and understands and with a few tweaks of my HRT treatment, I feel so much better.

It’s great to have enough time for a proper discussion and consultation, put my mind at rest about lots of things

It was refreshing to speak to Dr Nadira Awal about my perimenopause experiences to make sense of what had been going on. She listened to me and explained the changes in hormones and looked at my health issues holistically. She also explained about the ancestry and ethnicity factor that can play a role in symptoms and conditions. I would recommend her to women who are looking for guidance and support in this often confusing time of their lives.

I can thoroughly recommend Dr Nadira Awal following a booked 60 min Online F2F appt., Worth every penny. Wish I’d seen Dr Awal a decade ago! Dr Awal has the most wonderful manner and I felt most comfortable discussing matters. Everything was fully explained with diagrams on screen (she understood that I’m better with visual aids - very prepared). Her advice was excellent, as was the plan going forward with review. (Various appt timings available). A real pleasure to spend time with a professional who got to know me as a patient beforehand and during without haste. My advice & prescription was all written up within 48 hrs! Thank you Dr Nadira Awal and I look forward to our follow up in 3 months time. Best wishes Philippa
