A note from Dr Catherine Smith
Hi, I’m Catherine – GP and Women’s Health Specialist.
When I opened the clinic in 2024, my goal was simple: to create a space where women feel heard, supported and in control of their health.
After 20 years working in general practice and women’s health, I know how often women are dismissed with their symptoms or unable to easily access the information or services they need.
I set out to change that, so at The Women’s Clinic, you’ll get:
No long waiting lists. No rushed conversations. Just expert care, when you need it most.
I hope to welcome you to the clinic soon.
At The Women’s Clinic, we’re here for you - whether you're navigating the complexities of menopause or perimenopause, looking for reliable contraception, or simply want to feel heard and cared for.
Struggling with brain fog, broken sleep or a whole host of subtle symptoms that are leaving you feeling frustrated and anxious.
Feeling dismissed or overwhelmed after a rushed GP appointment that didn’t join the dots.
Searching for expert guidance on HRT or contraception options - but not sure where to start.
Busy juggling work and family, barely finding a moment for yourself.
We offer trusted, expert-led care across key areas of women’s health. Our services are here to support you at every stage - with time to listen, explain and help you feel better.
For women in their 30s–60s navigating perimenopause and menopause. Treatment includes:
For time poor women who want fast, expert care for contraceptive services like the mirena coil or nexplanon implant.
For anyone who needs trusted advice for general women’s health concerns
At The Women’s Clinic, we’re redefining what great women’s healthcare looks like – because you deserve better.
We know that finding the right care isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created something different.
Here’s why women choose us:
When you book an appointment at The Women’s Clinic, you’ll be seen by Dr Catherine Smith, a highly experienced GP and specialist in women’s health with 20 years of clinical practice.
Dr Smith is a member of both the British Menopause Society and the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health, holding advanced qualifications in both contraception and menopause care. She’s also one of the few clinicians in Scotland who is on the BMS Specialist Register – enabling her to offer truly personalised, holistic treatment.
Her particular expertise in coil and implant fittings is shaped by years of experience and a deep understanding of how these choices impact real lives.
But more than qualifications, what sets Dr Smith apart is how she listens. Every woman is different. Every symptom matters. Her mission is to make sure you feel heard, informed and supported – no matter where you are in your journey.
