Dr Alexandra Cottam is a gynaecologist and obstetrician based in Wembley, WA. She works from Level 2, 190 Cambridge Street, Wembley WA 6014. If you’re looking for calm, practical care around women’s health, pregnancy, or cycle changes, this is the kind of clinic visit she’s set up for.
Her work covers a mix of everyday needs, not just one type of problem. Many appointments involve things like Pap smears and pelvic exams, where you might want answers, reassurance, and a clear plan. She also helps people with birth control decisions, including getting started, adjusting, or just talking through what suits you best.
When it comes to pregnancy, Dr Cottam provides pregnancy test care and support with early pregnancy questions. For some people, those first weeks can feel stressful. In many cases, the appointment is about understanding what’s going on, what the next steps are, and how to look after yourself while things are being confirmed.
She also looks at menstrual cycle issues. That can include worries about changes to timing, heavier or more painful periods, or ongoing irregularity. If your cycle feels “off” for a while, it helps to have someone who will take the time to talk it through and check the basics.
Dr Cottam’s approach is steady and down-to-earth. She focuses on listening first, then using the right tests or exams to work out what’s happening. At times, the answers are simple. Other times, you may need follow-up or a longer plan. Either way, she aims to keep things understandable and not overwhelming.
Like most specialists in this field, she has trained in both gynaecology and obstetrics, so she can manage care across different stages of life. Her training supports the kind of assessments used for routine screening, contraception check-ins, and early pregnancy concerns.
In clinic, you can expect discussions around common women’s health needs, with a focus on safe, sensible next steps. If you’re trying to plan ahead, make sense of symptoms, or just want a proper check, Dr Alexandra Cottam is there to help.
