Dr Clare Ashby
Clare has a BSc in Physiology at Edinburgh University. Her concluding dissertation encompassed two of her passions: health and exercise, leaving her with a legacy for fitness and wellness.
Clare qualified from Southampton University Graduate Medicine Program in 2012. She completed her foundation and specialist training across Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire. Since qualifying Clare has worked as private GP and in women’s hormone health.
In 2021 Clare undertook The Transformational Coaching Diploma training, a coaching diploma which is only open to doctors. The legacy of this training and insight leads to a unique perspective and approach to consulting. Clare’s consulting can include coaching skills, if appropriate, particularly solution focused techniques, to help assist patients to think resourcefully about their situation and facilitate positive change.
Clare is a member of the British Menopause Society and National Association of Premenstrual Syndromes and has particular interests in PMS, the early perimenopause, PCOS and the role of body identical progesterone for women. However, Clare supports all women, wherever they are on their hormonal journey, from contraceptive queries to suffering with menopausal symptoms.
Clare’s first encounter with Histamine Intolerance (HIT) came through caring for perimenopausal women because of the overlap of symptoms and potential conflict with hormone treatment in HIT. This has since become an evolving interest, moving more widely to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and latterly the influence of Covid on activating or worsening pre-existing MCAS.
Although NHS trained, Clare has an interest in the Functional Medicine approach; medical practice that considers each patient’s health in context of their genetics and lifestyle factors and the interplay of health and environment.
Louise Jackson
After years of working as a Personal Assistant in the city for large corporates, Louise was looking for a new direction. Having worked with Dr. Peers previously, she was approached to become a part of the Menopause Consultancy.
“This role has grown and become a highly rewarding job. I can honestly say I love my work. I did not realise that there were so many people who were suffering with symptoms that were going untreated. For me it is a joy to be part of a wonderful team of ladies that are working hard to set people on the path to better health.”
