Fees and Working Together
I offer a free 20 minutes introductory call for new patients.
Appointments are currently available via ZOOM or face to face in my home clinic in Petts Wood:
Mondays 9.30 – 15.00
Thursdays 13.00 – 15.00
Fridays 9.30 – 15.00
(other times possible upon individual requests)
Fees:
Discovery call for new patients:
Free (up to 20 min)
Initial consultation:
£30 (up to 1.5 hours)
Follow up:
£30 (up to 45 min)
Please note that my reduced prices reflect the fact that I am a trainee homeopath (until my graduation in June 2025) and work under the strict supervision of an experienced tutor (all my cases are being consulted and supervised).
Please note that fees do not include remedies. These can be purchased at Helios or Ainsworth homeopathic pharmacies. I would email you with the exact prescription and the link to the pharmacy of your choice to order it from (or can email the pharmacy directly with you copied in and they will invoice you directly). Remedies on average don’t cost a lot, for example, a 4g bottle is around £5.
Working together and what to expect
All consultations are completely confidential, creating a safe and non-judgemental space for patients to share as much as they are comfortable with. I am fully insured, adhere to the professional code of ethics and data protection regulations (GDPR).
I strongly believe that a person is not defined by their diagnosis or set of symptoms. Everyone has arrived at this particular stage of their health via their own unique journey and every detail of the heath history is connected to the present, giving us a clue of the root cause.
At the initial appointment (1 - 1,5 h), we will talk in detail about the main problem(s) that brought you to me but we will also touch on many different aspects of your life – from life style, medical history, stress, family medical history to general questions like favourite food or drinks. All these answers help me to find the best fitting remedy with the best chance of triggering your body’s healing process. They will also enable me to get to know you and understand your needs. Together, we will try to identify what might be causing your symptoms and/or preventing you from getting better, perhaps needing your attention.
I tend to recommend a follow up appointment (45 min - 1 h) in around 4 - 6 weeks time to start with, then - later in the treatment, around 8 weeks time. It all depend on your body's healing response. Sometimes we see amazing progress right after the first appointment (this can be common especially in children) and other times the progress is very gradual (e.g. in patients with long-term, more complicated problems). The improvement can be only 10% - which may not seem a lot. However, we often see that after 6 months this improvement has developed to 6 x 10%, i.e. 60%, and that makes a huge difference. It is important to know what one expects from the treatment - if a person wants results by the next day, it is unfortunately not a treatment, but pushing the problem back into the body and often deeper (e.g. when using corticosteroids, eczema often disappears within 24 - 48 hours, but it is not cured). Homeopathy works by returning the body to its balance and this can take longer (it is also true that the body does not get into imbalance overnight, it takes weeks, months and often years).
