FAQ’s

Who can homeopathy help?

Homeopathy is suitable for all ages and conditions. Homeopathic remedies can safely be used at every stage in life, including pregnancy and breast-feeding. It is even safe for new-borns and the elderly.

What conditions can be treated?

You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from homeopathy. Many people feel unwell without knowing why, a situation I treat regularly. I often help people with skin, digestive, respiratory and reproductive disorders, as well as stress –related issues and day-to-day health maintenance.

My doctor has prescribed medicines. Can I still use homeopathy?

Homeopathy works well in tandem with conventional medicine, and can often be helpful in dealing with side-effects. It is very important to let me know what you have been prescribed, so that I can work with your medicine without interfering with it.

Will I feel worse after taking the remedies?

While most people feel positive benefits, it is possible you might experience short-lived symptoms like a cold, nausea, diarrhoea or sometimes a rash, as your body eliminates toxins. This usually clears quickly, leaving you ready to respond positively to the remedies. It is important to contact me if symptoms persist, and I’m available to give advice between consultations, if needed.

How many sessions will I need?

Your first follow-up is usually made for 4 weeks after your initial consultation. After that, it depends on your condition. I often see people at 4, 6, or 8 week intervals, and many people come for maintenance treatments every 3, 6, or 12 months. Because everyone is unique, there is no set pattern.

What happens in the sessions?

First, we’ll spend time talking through relevant experiences, health background and priorities, followed by a time of healing if you wish. Your first session will last for an hour, while follow-ups usually last for 45 minutes. Younger people often need less time, which I reflect by giving concessionary rates to under 16’s.
