What to expect
We are all unique
Homeopathy works holistically and treats each person as an individual. It’s my job to get a deep understanding of you and your health concerns. Together we build up a picture to help me find the remedy that is the best match for you.
Your first consultation
This will last around one and a half hours. During this confidential and in-depth appointment, we will explore all your symptoms. We will also talk about other aspects of your life, such as your medical history, how you respond to stress, your likes and dislikes and all the many things that make you a unique individual. I will take notes which will of course be kept confidential.
Follow ups
The first follow up consultation is usually around four to six weeks after the first prescription. Follow up sessions are normally a little shorter, lasting 45 minutes to one hour. We will talk in depth about how you are and discuss any changes that have occurred. I will then decide on the next step in your treatment. As you progress, the follow up consultations can be spread further apart to six weeks, two months, and so on. Many people like to maintain regular contact by coming to see me every six months or so, so that any problems can be addressed quickly before they have time to become entrenched.
Getting better
People often wonder how long it will take to feel well. This can vary enormously depending on how long you have been ill in the first place. If the journey into your present condition has been a long and gradual process, the journey back to better health may also be a long one. But when a remedy is well-matched, there should be some signs of improvement within the first month or so, even if symptoms have been around for some time.
Finding the right remedy
The remedy is selected from all the information you give me. I always do my best to find the best match for you, but sometimes the prescription needs to be fine-tuned until the most accurate (and therefore most effective) remedy is found. I encourage all new clients to commit to at least 3 consultations as a starting point.
