Charlotte is an experienced GP and pursued her specialist interest in the menopause after being diagnosed with early menopause herself. Her first-hand experience of how to maintain a high-performing professional role, whist managing the many symptoms menopause can bring, have helped her understand how to support all women, at work and in their personal life. She is passionate about women’s health and wellbeing and aspires to make a positive impact on your menopause journey.

Charlotte is certified as an Advanced Menopause Specialist, trained at the Whittington Hospital in London. She has the Diploma of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (DRCOG) and has completed several posts in obstetrics and gynaecology during her GP training. She keeps her knowledge up to date by attending both British and International Menopause society conferences and runs teaching sessions for other healthcare professionals. She also helps form local clinical guidelines.

One of Charlotte’s key aims is to broaden access to menopause knowledge to all women; she delivers both educational workshops and small group conversations with women in many settings including community venues to ensure women are fully informed about the menopause and can comfortably ask any questions, no matter how awkward!

Charlotte is a keen cold-water swimmer and spends many early mornings, rain or shine, in the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond. She also loves to run for both her physical and mental health. Before training in medicine, Charlotte achieved a first-class degree in Textile Design from Chelsea College of Art, and still enjoys creative projects, including painting. She lives in North London with her husband, a Consultant Neuroradiologist and two children.
