Perimenopause and Menopause Consultation
Personalised, evidence-based menopause care from Dr Rebecca Jacques, GP and British Menopause Society (BMS) Registered Menopause Specialist
Every woman’s menopause journey is unique.
Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, hot flushes, irregular periods, low mood or simply don’t feel like yourself anymore, my aim is to help you understand what’s happening and work with you to develop a treatment plan that feels right for you.
At Time to Pause, appointments are never rushed. I take time to listen to your story, understand how your symptoms are affecting your life, and provide clear, evidence-based advice tailored to your individual needs.
Consultations are available both in person at Stockton House, Southam, Warwickshire, and online throughout the UK.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need blood tests before my appointment?
Not usually. Most women over the age of 45 are diagnosed based on their symptoms and menstrual history rather than hormone blood tests. If additional investigations are needed, we'll discuss these together.
Can I book if I'm not sure I'm in perimenopause?
Absolutely. Many women seek advice before they know whether their symptoms are hormone related.
Can I have an online appointment?
Yes. Online consultations are available throughout the UK and are suitable for most menopause consultations.
Will my GP be informed?
Yes, if you would like them to be. With your consent, I'll send a copy of your clinic letter to your GP so they can support your ongoing care.
Can you prescribe HRT?
Yes. If appropriate, we can discuss HRT and other treatment options during your consultation.
Do you see women with complex menopause problems?
Yes. I regularly support women with more complex menopause histories, including early menopause, surgical menopause, previous breast cancer treatment (where appropriate), multiple medical conditions and women who are seeking a second opinion.
