How I work

Working with me a homeopath is a gentle but deep journey. It is about looking at you as a whole person — physically, mentally and emotionally.

But it is not always what people expect, and sometimes this can lead to frustration. So I want to explain a little bit about how I work, so you know what the process looks like.

I often explain this with the image of a ball of wool.

Imagine this ball of wool is you.

When you are born, you already have some small knots in the wool. These are your susceptibilities — the tendencies you inherit, the areas where your body may be more vulnerable.

Then life happens.

Along the way we experience illnesses, infections, accidents, stress, emotional experiences, and physical or emotional trauma. Each one can add another knot to the wool. Some knots are loose and easy to untangle. Others are tighter, and sometimes they are tangled on top of each other.

Together, these knots create your unique story. They are part of who you are and can help us understand why your body has responded in the way it has.

During a consultation, my role is to explore these layers with you — to understand where the knots came from and help your body start the process of untangling them.

There is a reason why your first consultation is long

This is about finding the knots underneath the surface

This first consultation usually takes around 75–90 minutes because I don’t just want to know about your symptoms. I want to understand the things that have shaped your health journey.

We will explore your medical and family history, your childhood development, important life events, emotional stresses, sleep, food, fears, dreams, family dynamics, and, very importantly, when things started.

Those moments when you say, “I’ve never really been well since…” can often give us important clues about where your imbalance began.

The aim is not to find a quick fix. It is about understanding the bigger picture and finding  the remedy that can begin to loosen the knots and show us where to go next.

Prescription

Once the consultation is finished, I'll spend time studying your case carefully. This is where I bring together everything you've shared and look for the remedy—or sometimes remedies—that can begin to loosen the knots.

I'll then email you your prescription with clear instructions on how to take it, where to buy it, and a simple explanation of why I've chosen it.

Our conversation helps me understand which end of the thread to start pulling. From there, we watch how your body responds and let it guide the next steps of your healing journey.

I will check with you, via email  after 48 hrs to see how you are doing and if the remedy is working. If there were no change at all we might need to adjust potency and I will give you instructions on this. 

Follow-up

Follow-up consultations usually last 30–40 minutes.

This is our time to look at what has changed, what has stayed the same, and whether any new symptoms or patterns have appeared. Your body will guide us towards the next step, and together we'll continue gently loosening the knots and untangling the threads.

How long will it take?

This is the question I'm often asked, The honest answer is that I don't know.

Every person is different. It depends on your condition, how long it has been there, any maintaining causes, past traumas, your susceptibility, and how your body responds along the way. Different conditions require different types of treatment. (What is the difference between acute and chronic conditions? Click here for more)

There isn't a one-size-fits-all timeline in homeopathy. Just as every person is unique, every healing journey is unique too. My role is to walk alongside you, helping your body find its way back towards the best balance it can achieve.

The aim is to maintain your health long-term.
