consultation

The first consultation will normally take one and a half hours or more. This is your time and space to do the talking, covering all aspects of your life.

You will be able to express, in complete confidence, all those matters about your life that you can, or want to say about yourself. Therefore, come prepared to talk at length – and to be listened to. Some of this may seem unrelated to your complaint, but homeopathy is a holistic approach and aims to return the whole person to health. All this provides information for the homeopath to choose the remedy most appropriate for you.

A good prescription depends firstly upon the homeopath’s understanding of you (as a whole) and secondly on the correct analysis of what needs to be cured. As each person is seen as an individual, unique in their make up, the response (healing action) will vary according to what it is that needs to be cured. The homeopathic remedy is aimed at the underlying cause, and cure may therefore take time. It is a process of awakening, releasing stuck energy patterns and setting life free

Generally, a chronic complaint – one that has been experienced for some years – will not disappear overnight, although there may be a response and some improvement quite soon. Other, acute, or more recent complaints may get better quickly. After the consultation you will be given a remedy to take. Follow-up appointments will be made for 1 month later (unless you need more support in which case you will be seen sooner).

What can homeopathy do for me?
Homeopathy is completely safe. Even babies and pregnant women can use Homeopathy without the danger of side effects. Homeopathic remedies can also be taken alongside other medication without producing unwanted side effects.

Homeopathy may help:

If you suffer from long-standing (chronic) or recurring problems, whether they are physical, emotional or mental (e.g. stress-related physical problems)
If there is a history of emotional trauma in your life
If conventional medicine isn’t helping, or has nothing more to offer
If you want a holistic system of health, free of prescription drugs and their side effects, which helps to build your resistance to illness naturally.
Alongside conventional treatment (e.g. to alleviate side effects of chemotherapy)

What about aggravations?
Fortunately I am an experienced homeopath and rarely see prolonged aggravations. What you may experience is some form of discharge, accompanied with a general sense of wellbeing. This is generally a good sign and shows that the body is getting rid of things, whilst you, as a whole, are beginning to cope better with life.
