During the first consultation lots of questions are asked to build up a complete picture of you; it takes into account a wide variety of factors such as your medical history, personality traits, stress triggers, likes and dislikes, lifestyle and even your dreams. Homoeopathy looks at the whole picture of you; people who have had the same diagnosed illness are each likely to need different homeopathic medicines, depending on their unique expression of the illness.
This first consultation usually takes an hour to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case history.
Homeopathic treatments involve a gradual process of change towards better health. The first follow-up is usually 4 weeks after the first prescription, although in some cases it may be sooner.
The second session tends to be shorter than the first - usually between half an hour to an hour. You will be asked about changes that have occurred, using your detailed notes as a reference point, before deciding on the next step in your treatment.
The number of consultations that may be needed is difficult to predict; It depends on a number of factors such as how long you have suffered from the condition, your general level of health, and your response to the first prescription. Long standing chronic, or deep seated conditions will take longer to improve than more recent superficial conditions. In most cases you will know if the treatment is going in the right direction within a few weeks. In some cases there is improvement within hours or days of starting treatment.
You should always maintain your relationship with your GP or specialist if going through treatment with them. Homeopathic and conventional approaches are often successfully used alongside one another in an integrated approach.
Homeopathic remedies, which are non-toxic, will not interfere with the action of conventional drugs. Nevertheless, it’s important to keep your homeopath informed of any changes in prescribed medication from your doctor, and to keep your doctor informed of any changes in symptoms for which you have been prescribed conventional medicines.
Some people choose homeopathy because they are unhappy with side effects from their current conventional medication. However, you should not stop medication until you have discussed it with your prescribing doctor.
Consultations are by prior appointment and are held on Zoom Monday–Friday. Evening or weekend appointments are occasionally available.
Please note: The cost of homeopathic medicines are included as part of the fee.
hold your confidentiality in the highest regard. Everything you tell me in a consultation is confidential. I will never share your information.
