Homeopathy Initial Appointment - Adult

Service Description

Homeopathy works holistically and treats each person as a unique individual. As well as getting a thorough understanding of your health concerns, I also want to find out about medical history, sleep patterns, temperament, likes and dislikes and all the things that make you a unique and precious individual. Before we meet, I will email you a New Patient Questionnaire to gather some of this information and you can either email it back to me or bring it with you to our first meeting. ​Consultations can be arranged in person at my clinic in Haywards Heath, my home treatment room in South Chailey or on Zoom. The first consultation usually lasts around one and half to two hours, after which I will prescribe a remedy that is the best match for your whole picture. Sometimes you will receive your remedy at the appointment (if it is in person) but more usually, I like to work on your case for a day or two before sending out your prescription in the post. Homeopathic medicines are usually taken as tablets or pillules, or they may be given in liquid or powder form. Follow up consultations usually take place around four to six weeks later and are a little shorter, lasting 30 minutes to an hour. Follow-ups are an opportunity to talk in depth about any changes that have occurred. I then decide on the next stage of the treatment plan and may need to fine tune the prescription. ​As you progress, follow up consultations may be spread further apart to six weeks, two months, and so on. Many people like to maintain a regular contact with their homeopath, booking an appointment every six months or so, using homeopathy as a ‘preventive medicine’, so that optimum health can be maintained, and any symptoms are addressed quickly.
