An individualised approach
Homeopathy takes a holistic approach. Rather than treating one symptom in isolation, the doctor looks at your full case history, including past illnesses, lifestyle and what seems to set the problem off, and chooses a medicine for you as a whole.
There are no promises of a particular result. How long treatment takes depends on the person and the concern, and regular follow-ups let the doctor review your progress and adjust the plan.
How a consultation works
The first visit is longer than a follow-up. The doctor takes a detailed case history: your main concern, how and when it started, past illnesses, family history, sleep, diet, stress and daily routine.
Please bring any recent medical reports and a list of the medicines you take, so the plan can be built on the full picture.
When to see a medical doctor
Homeopathy is not a substitute for urgent or emergency care. If you have severe, sudden or rapidly worsening symptoms, see a medical doctor or go to your nearest hospital. In an emergency, call 112.
If you are under a specialist’s care, homeopathy can be taken alongside that treatment; never stop a prescribed medicine without your doctor’s advice.

If your concern is not listed, ask us. We will tell you honestly whether homeopathy is a good fit or whether another kind of care would suit you better.
How long does homeopathy take to work?
It depends on the person and the concern. Homeopathy takes a holistic approach: rather than treating one symptom in isolation, the doctor looks at your full case history, including past illnesses, lifestyle and what seems to set the problem off, and chooses a medicine for you as a whole. Recent concerns often respond sooner. Long-standing, chronic ones usually need a few months of steady treatment. Regular follow-ups let the doctor review your progress and adjust the plan.
What happens at the first homeopathy consultation?
The first visit is longer than a follow-up. The doctor takes a detailed case history: your main concern, how and when it started, past illnesses, family history, sleep, diet, stress and daily routine. Please bring any recent medical reports and a list of the medicines you take, so the plan can be built on the full picture.
Does homeopathy have side effects?
Homeopathic medicines are prescribed in very small doses, and most people tolerate them well. Some people notice a brief, mild flare of their symptoms early in treatment; tell your doctor if this happens. Before prescribing, we review your medical history, previous illnesses and any reports you bring, so the plan is safe for you.
Can I take homeopathy alongside my other medicines?
Usually, yes. Homeopathy can be taken alongside the treatment you already receive. Tell us about every medicine and supplement you take, and never stop or change a prescribed medicine without speaking to the doctor who prescribed it.
