Private GP weight management support in Barry

Fast access. The same named GP each time. A medical plan that fits your life. At Mayfield Clinic we deliver private GP weight management for patients in Barry, with consultations delivered from our Cardiff practice for local convenience. If you're in Barry and want professional, doctor-supervised weight loss, we can see you quickly and build a plan that is safe, sustainable and tailored to your health.

Why medically supervised weight loss works

Research shows structured programmes with regular clinician contact improve long-term outcomes. Our GP weight loss programme in Barry starts with a full medical assessment to identify causes such as hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, medication effects or metabolic conditions. We use clinical tests, medication reviews and lifestyle evaluation to form a clear baseline, then set realistic targets based on your health profile.

What a first appointment looks like

Expect a longer consultation than standard GP slots. We take time to discuss your medical history, previous weight attempts and daily life. We'll check relevant blood tests, screen for conditions affecting weight and measure key metrics. From Barry you will be booked to attend our Cardiff clinic for in-person assessments and follow-ups — book online via the Book now button or, if you are a Mayfield Clinic member, call or message via Phone or WhatsApp to arrange appointments.

Personalised plans, not one-size-fits-all

Your plan can include tailored nutrition guidance, exercise advice calibrated to any mobility or health limits, behaviour-change strategies and prescription weight management medications where appropriate. Our approach balances clinical safety with practical measures you can stick to. For some patients in Barry, short-term medication support combined with regular GP review accelerates progress while we build long-term habit change.

Regular review and continuity of care

We prioritise seeing the same named doctor to build rapport and maintain clinical continuity. Regular check-ups let us track progress, adjust medication dosages, and address plateaus or side effects quickly. This continuity is central to our model for Barry patients being seen at our Cardiff practice: you will have a consistent clinical team overseeing your journey.

“Medical weight management is about safety, consistency and realistic goals — not quick fixes.”

Medications and modern options

When clinically appropriate we offer prescription treatments that support weight loss alongside lifestyle change. Our GPs in Barry (seen in Cardiff) will explain risks, benefits and how medications fit into a wider plan. We check blood pressure, glucose and other parameters regularly to ensure safety.

Who benefits from a private GP weight loss programme?

Adults with obesity, those with weight-related health concerns (high blood pressure, prediabetes, arthritis) and people who have struggled with repeated short-term diets can all benefit. If you live in Barry and need rapid access to a weight loss doctor, our Cardiff-based clinic provides private consultations and continuity of care.
