Private Menopause Clinic Cost UK: What to Expect

Private menopause clinic costs in the UK vary depending on the provider, appointment length, clinician type and whether follow-up care, prescriptions or blood tests are included.

As a broad guide, initial private menopause consultations often sit in the £150-£465 range, with follow-up appointments commonly charged separately. Some clinics also charge for prescription administration, blood tests, letters to your GP or longer review appointments.

For many women, the decision is not only about price. It is about waiting times, appointment length, specialist expertise, symptom complexity and whether they feel listened to.

    • Indicative ranges:

    Prices change frequently. Always confirm directly with the clinic before booking.

    What Is Usually Included?

    An initial appointment may include:

  • Symptom review
  • Medical history
  • Discussion of perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause stage
  • Review of current medication
  • Discussion of HRT and non-hormonal options where appropriate
  • Lifestyle and long-term health discussion
  • Follow-up plan
  • Letter to GP, if offered

    • Some clinics include a prescription within the consultation fee. Others charge separately.

    Do You Need Blood Tests?

    Blood tests are not always needed to diagnose perimenopause or menopause, especially for women over 45 where diagnosis is often based on symptoms. Blood tests may be more relevant in some situations, such as early menopause, surgical menopause, complex symptoms, testosterone monitoring or wider health screening.

    Ask the clinic:

  • Which tests are recommended and why?
  • Are tests included in the fee?
  • Can tests be done locally or at home?
  • Who reviews the results?
  • Will results be shared with your GP?

    • NHS vs Private Cost

    NHS menopause support is usually the lowest-cost route, but access can depend on GP knowledge, local services and referral pathways.

    Private care may be considered when:

  • You want a longer appointment
  • You want faster access
  • You have complex symptoms
  • You want a specialist review
  • You feel your symptoms have not been fully addressed
  • You want online access to a specialist

    • Private care can become expensive over the first year if you need follow-ups, tests and private prescriptions. Before booking, ask for the total likely first-year cost.

    Questions to Ask Before Booking

    Ask:

  • Who will I see?
  • Is the clinician UK-registered?
  • Do they have menopause-specific training?
  • Is the appointment online or in person?
  • How long is the consultation?
  • Is a prescription included?
  • Are follow-ups required?
  • Are blood tests included or separate?
  • Will you write to my GP?
  • What happens if treatment needs adjusting?

    FAQ

    Is private menopause care worth it?

    It depends on your symptoms, budget, local NHS access and how much specialist input you need. Some women only need GP support. Others pay privately for longer appointments, faster access or complex symptom review.

    Can a private menopause clinic prescribe HRT?

    Many private menopause clinics can prescribe HRT if clinically appropriate, but this depends on the clinician and service. Always check before booking.

    Will my GP accept a private clinic recommendation?

    Sometimes, but not always. Ask the private clinic whether they write to your GP and ask your GP surgery how they handle shared care or prescribing recommendations.

    Are private HRT medicines included in the consultation fee?

    Usually not. Medication and dispensing costs may be separate. Ask the clinic for a clear breakdown.
