You’re wide awake at 3am, again, for no obvious reason.
Little things that never used to bother you now set you off.
You’re tired in a way a good night’s sleep doesn’t seem to fix.
Words are on the tip of your tongue, and your memory feels patchy.
Your cycle has started doing its own thing: shorter, longer, heavier or harder to predict.
You’d rather stay home than catch up with friends, and that’s not like you.
You’ve been told it’s just stress, or just your age.
You just don’t feel like yourself, and you can’t quite put your finger on why.
Perimenopause and menopause can bring a wide range of physical, emotional and cognitive changes, and they often arrive gradually, which makes them easy to dismiss or misread. Hot flushes, broken sleep, mood shifts, brain fog, aching joints, changes to your cycle: the list is long, and it’s different for everyone.
We take these symptoms seriously. We make time to listen properly, explain what’s happening in your body, and walk you through the options, so this stage feels less like something happening to you, and more like something you understand and can manage.
If you’ve ever felt brushed off, or told you’re ‘too young’ or that it’s ‘just part of getting older’, you’re not alone, and it’s exactly what we’re here to change. At The M Clinic you won’t be rushed, dismissed, or left to work it out by yourself. We believe in informed choice, so you can make the decisions that are right for your body and your life.
Founder & Owner, Coastal Goddess and The M Clinic
Founder & Medical Director, Australian Menopause Institute
Dr Kelly Needham has spent more than 20 years working in healthcare, from medical imaging and sonography through to medicine, oncology and women’s health.
She founded Coastal Goddess on the Central Coast, and it was her cosmetic patients there who kept telling her what they were going through with menopause, and how hard it was to find help from a GP. So she set up The M Clinic to help them.
One of the things Dr Kelly hears most often is that women just don’t feel like themselves anymore. They’re not sleeping, they’re struggling with things that never used to bother them, and they’re often wondering whether it’s menopause, stress or something else entirely.
That’s why her consultations start with one question, tell me what’s been going on. She wants to understand what’s changed, look at the whole picture and help women understand their options so they can make informed decisions about their care.
Dr Kelly also founded the Australian Menopause Institute to take that work beyond her own consulting room, improving menopause education and helping both women and healthcare professionals access clear, evidence-based information.
In 2026, the NSW Parliament publicly recognised her contribution to women’s health awareness, education and support.

No two women experience menopause the same way, so we don’t treat it that way. Dr Kelly and the team take a personalised approach that considers your symptoms, your health history, your lifestyle and your goals.
That might mean medical treatment, lifestyle support, or a combination, and we’ll talk you through the benefits and the risks so any decision is genuinely yours.
Your first appointment is a thorough assessment of your health, symptoms, and goals. During this consultation we may discuss:
Hormonal changes and menopause symptoms
Sleep, mood, anxiety, brain fog, and energy levels
Hot flushes, night sweats, and temperature regulation
Weight changes and metabolic health
Sexual health, libido, vaginal dryness, and urinary symptoms
Bone health and cardiovascular risk factors
Lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, and stress management
Previous medical history and current medications
Blood tests and investigations where appropriate
Discussion of treatment options, including medical and non-medical options, supplements and lifestyle strategies, and vaginal health and sexual wellness support
Follow-up appointments focus on:
Reviewing symptoms and progress
Adjusting medications if needed
Reviewing test results
Ongoing support and education
Monitoring treatment effectiveness and side effects
Long-term health planning and preventative care
You don’t have to push through menopause alone. Booking a consultation is the first step toward feeling more like yourself again, with Dr Kelly and the team alongside you the whole way.

No GP referral needed, just book directly. The M Clinic is a private billing practice, so Medicare rebates don’t cover the consultation fee.
You’re not alone in having questions about changes in your sleep, mood, periods or how you’re feeling generally.
Dr Kelly Needham founded the Australian Menopause Institute to help women understand menopause, hormones and the evidence behind their care.
