Hormonal Mental Health, PMDD & Menopause Specialist

Medical Director, Sirona Health

Specialist care for PMDD, PMS, perimenopause, menopause and hormone-related mood symptoms

I am the Medical Director of Sirona Health, a specialist women’s health clinic with a particular focus on hormonal mental health. I help women across the UK understand and treat the impact that reproductive hormones can have on mood, emotional wellbeing and cognitive function.

My clinical practice specialises in PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), severe PMS, perimenopause and menopause, particularly where symptoms are predominantly psychological rather than physical.

Many of the women I see have been told they have anxiety or depression, yet recognise a clear hormonal or cyclical pattern to their symptoms. Others are navigating the emotional and cognitive changes of perimenopause, including anxiety, low mood, irritability, brain fog, poor sleep and loss of confidence.

I provide personalised, evidence-based care, combining conventional medical treatment with lifestyle and holistic approaches where appropriate.

Areas I Can Help With

• PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
• Severe PMS and cyclical mood changes
• Hormonal mental health
• Perimenopause and menopause
• Psychological and cognitive symptoms of perimenopause
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
• Non-hormonal menopause treatments
• The relationship between hormones, mood and wellbeing

My Approach

Hormonal symptoms rarely affect just one part of a woman’s life. My consultations are in-depth and unhurried, allowing time to understand the timing and pattern of your symptoms, your medical and reproductive history, previous treatments and your personal goals.

Together we develop an individual treatment plan, which may include hormonal therapies, non-hormonal medications, nutritional and lifestyle interventions, or a combination of approaches tailored to you.

My Background & Expertise

I qualified in medicine in 2004 at Leicester Warwick Medical School and began my career training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology within the Wessex Deanery, gaining experience in general gynaecology, obstetrics, urogynecology and gynaecological oncology.

After transitioning into General Practice, I completed my GP training in 2010. During this time I also undertook psychiatric training in Salisbury, providing valuable experience in diagnosing and managing mental health conditions—an expertise that now underpins my specialist work in hormonal mental health.

I have also worked in sexual health services in Southampton and a Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Portsmouth.

I passed the Membership of the Faculty of Sexual & Reproductive Healthcare (MFSRH) and a Certificate in Menopause Care, with advanced training in contraception, reproductive health and menopause management.

Consultations

The majority of my patients are seen remotely via secure video consultations, allowing me to provide specialist care to women across the UK.

For those who prefer an in-person appointment, I also offer face-to-face consultations near Tetbury, serving patients from Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Bath and the surrounding Cotswolds.

My goal is to help women understand the connection between their hormones, brain and body, so they can make informed choices and feel like themselves again.
