Real support, real answers - for whatever stage of menopause you're at.
Struggling with menopause symptoms like hot flushes, brain fog, anxiety, weight gain or poor sleep? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to suffer in silence.
At Enigma Healthcare’s Menopause Clinic in Tarporley, we provide expert-led, personalised menopause care for women who want real answers, not generic advice. If you feel your NHS options have been exhausted, or simply feel unheard, our specialists are here to listen, understand, and build a treatment plan around you.
“The menopause can be a challenging time for many women, and the information and advice available can be overwhelming. I believe that with the right advice and support, and an individualised approach, I can help women navigate this phase of their life with increased confidence and relief of troublesome symptoms.”

Postmenopausal refers to the stage of life after menopause has been reached — from 12 months after your last period onwards. Many menopause symptoms can continue into this stage, and ongoing hormone support may still be appropriate.
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate and symptoms like irregular periods, hot flushes and mood changes often start. It can last from a few months to several years before periods stop completely and menopause itself is reached.
Menopause is officially reached when you’ve gone 12 consecutive months without a period, marking the end of your natural reproductive years. It’s caused by a natural decline in reproductive hormones, typically happening between the ages of 45 and 55, though it can happen earlier.
The clearest sign is your periods: irregular but still present periods usually indicate perimenopause, while 12 consecutive months without a period marks menopause. Blood tests can also help assess hormone levels, particularly if symptoms start earlier than expected.
Options range from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to lifestyle and nutritional changes, depending on your symptoms, health history and personal preference. A menopause specialist can talk you through what’s likely to help most in your individual case.
HRT (hormone replacement therapy) replaces the oestrogen, and often progesterone, that your body produces less of during perimenopause and menopause. For most women, the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks, though suitability depends on individual health history — this is something our specialists assess and discuss with you directly.
No — you can book directly with our Menopause Clinic without a GP referral.
Our initial consultations are longer than a typical NHS appointment, giving you proper time to discuss your symptoms and concerns, rather than a rushed 10-minute slot.
Please see our current pricing above, or contact our team for full details. Pricing is clear and fixed with no hidden charges.
A private menopause clinic typically offers longer consultations, more in-depth hormone testing, and continuity with a specialist who has a particular interest in menopause care, compared with a standard, time-limited NHS GP appointment. Many patients come to us after feeling their NHS options were limited or their symptoms weren’t fully addressed.
