As seen in
There's a gap between 'normal' blood tests and feeling your best.
I left the NHS in 2019 to practise medicine differently. Our NHS is on its knees. You deserve more than 10 minutes and a prescription. The system was built to find illness and treat it with medication – not to help you thrive and feel your best. Many people I see have lost faith in it.
That’s the gap I work in. Maybe your bloods came back 'normal', you've been told it's 'just perimenopause', or nobody's looked properly at all. With me, you get one consistent doctor, looking at your results alongside your symptoms, sleep, stress, food and medical history.
I'm not here to replace the NHS. And seeing me doesn't mean you have to stay private. I know that comes at a price. Where I can, I'll help you get what you need through the NHS. Sometimes all you need to pay for is my time, not more tests.
Not ill, not well
Tired, flat and not quite you.
Feeling like you again
Energy and confidence in your health - and a plan to stay that way.
Why people come to me
Energy and tiredness
Running on empty and wondering if something's off, if you're low in something or if a supplement would help.
Hormones and perimenopause
It might be perimenopause. It might be your iron, vitamins or something else entirely. You deserve to know which.
Weight loss
You know what to do, it just won't stick. You want something that lasts, with or without medication - or you've come off it and want to maintain your weight loss results.
Prevention and longevity
Nothing's wrong and you want to keep it that way. Maybe a big birthday or family history has you wanting a proper health and wellness MOT.
Health and life coaching
Stress, burnout, confidence or finally putting yourself first. You want someone in your corner to support you in making changes that last.

You know what to do - coaching helps you actually do it (and keep it up for the long term)
For some, that means losing weight for good. For others it's people pleasing, boundaries, stress, sleep or confidence. I also have a mindset coach and therapist on the team.
Private GP consultations
Sometimes you just need a doctor with time.
Already had bloods done elsewhere, or want a one-off appointment? Book 30 or 60 minutes with me in person or online.
Medical aesthetics
In aesthetics, more isn’t always more.
Natural-looking, doctor-led anti-wrinkle treatments that help you look fresher and more like you on a good day. It starts with a complimentary 30-minute aesthetics consultation.
I’m Dr Aileen
And I know how it feels to struggle with your health.
Back in 2012 I was a junior doctor tracking every macro on MyFitnessPal and pushing hard in the gym. Add step-kids, long shifts and no sleep, and I burned out - binge eating chocolate and ice cream after shifts for comfort.
I knew what I needed to do and understood the science completely. But I still couldn't act on it. What changed was giving up on perfect. I created small, realistic changes instead of a Monday overhaul I'd ditch two weeks later.
That led me to study nutrition, lifestyle and longevity medicine. In 2019 I left the NHS to help other people make the same changes.
I'm not a "doctory doctor". I explain everything in plain English and write it all down, so you can ask questions afterwards. No phone queue. I answer my own emails - and quickly.
These days I'm a wife, a toddler mum and stepmum to two teens. I love a glass of red and a good burger. I live in the real world and I get it. I promise I'll never ask you to drink kale smoothies or give up your favourite foods!

Joanne Gunn
Energy and supplements
“I was convinced my vitamin D would be fine because I'm outdoors all the time walking my dog, but I was actually deficient. Working with Aileen helped me stop wasting money on random supplements.”
Angela Davidson
Fatigue and long-term health
“I had been fatigued and generally not myself for some time… She explained everything clearly, provided practical tools and offered empathetic support that helped me feel like the new and improved old me.”
Paul Westlake
Wellbeing
“After consultations with Dr Aileen, my sense of wellbeing is greatly improved… I am beginning to regain the joie de vivre that had slowly ebbed away.”
Bob Christie
Heart health and lifestyle change
“After the scare of a triple heart bypass I wanted to do everything in my power to look after my long-term health. Aileen reviewed my blood tests and medications, helped me understand and manage stress, and supported changes to my sleep and eating habits. It has been a complete game changer.”
Laura Mackay
Well woman assessment
“Aileen took the time to explain everything clearly and offered practical suggestions for improving my health, with absolutely no pressure to purchase additional products or services. I left feeling truly heard, understood and would recommend her to anyone looking for a proactive, personalised approach to their health.”
Stacey Will
Coaching and clarity
“Her coaching gave me clarity about which choices were right for me and made those changes easier to put into action in a way that fit my life.”
Rebecca Cartwright
Results explained
“The blood tests were comprehensive and the real benefit was having each marker explained in a way that made sense.”
Lorne Thomson
Energy, men's health assessment
“Working in the NHS, I'd often seen people being treated once they had already developed disease… Although I didn't feel unwell, my blood tests identified some abnormalities I wasn't aware of. I've noticed more energy, less brain fog, and feel much better equipped to cope with the demands of everyday life.”
