Homeopathy
ABOUT HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathy is a system of health care that recognises and encourages the body’s capacity to heal itself. It doesn’t rely on labels and diagnoses, but instead is guided by the individual’s unique experience of their symptoms, encompassing all aspects of their self - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual - a truly holistic approach. It can also therefore, provide support for someone undergoing conventional medical or surgical interventions.
Homeopathy is given by homeopathic medicines or ‘remedies’. These are sourced from natural elements and are processed into remedy form (either pillules or liquid) by dilution and succussion, which is the activation of the energy of the original substance. They are gentle and safe for anyone to use including babies, pregnant women, the elderly, and the chronically ill.
I use remedies sourced from Helios Homoepathic Pharmacy.
WHY YOU MAY NEED HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathy addresses all aspects of our lives and promotes mental, emotional and physical health and well-being. It can be used in a first aid situation; for acute symptoms (of less than 6 weeks duration); or chronic/long term states such as joint pain, chronic fatigue, digestive problems, women’s health issues, allergies and skin conditions, mental health issues, stress, depression, grief, and bereavement.
WHAT TO EXPECT
An initial homeopathic consultation will last about an hour, when I can learn about your current condition, your past medical history, any relevant family history, and your lifestyle, giving me a picture of who you are. This can be done in the consultation room or on video link. This information will enable me to prescribe an appropriate remedy, which I will send to you with instructions on how to take it. We will make a follow up appointment to review your progress.
A follow up appointment is generally about a month later. During this period, the remedy will begin to work, and I will ask you to keep a record of any changes - physical, emotional etc. I can give advice and support by phone, regarding the action of the remedy, if you require. This will be at no extra cost.
Homeopathy is a process, and doesn’t always provide a quick fix. It generally works on a deep level, rather than eliminating symptoms by repeatedly suppressing them (eg with pain meds), and addresses the root cause. Sometimes you will need a number of follow-ups, and other times the results can be almost immediate. Once we have had an initial consultation, then I can prescribe for a first aid or acute condition over the phone.

"My family and I have seen Kate on many occasions for various health issues. She has helped us through illnesses as well as supporting our general well being to improve our quality of life.
Kate is an extremely caring and sympathetic Homeopath with a deep knowledge and understanding of her subject.

"I started seeing Kate for support through Homeopathy when I was experiencing a whole host of physical and emotional issues due to peri-menopause. I was initially nervous about the process as it was something very new to me but Kate's listening ear, empathy and insight put me at ease from our first session. Over the following year I had regular sessions with Kate and found that the Homeopathic remedies and a shift in my thinking, made a huge difference to symptoms such as hot flushes, palpitations, and anxiety. Thanks to Kate, I feel I have been able to navigate menopause in a gentle and holistic way." - HH Social Worker and Charity Manager
"Over the years I have suffered with many ailments including irregular painful periods, cold sore outbreaks, anxiety, OCD and in more recent months, heart palpitations, and night sweats.
Since seeing Kate for Homeopathy my periods are regular, my cold sores are significantly less frequent and far less painful and clear up much quicker. I now sleep through the nights with no palpitations or night sweats and my frame of mind and outlook are far more positive which helps my anxiety.
Kate has also helped my son cope with allergies and allergy induced asthma through Homeopathy.
I thoroughly recommend Homeopathy. Kate has helped me eliminate my symptoms through a more gentle and natural path." - LH Assistant Retail Manager and Mother of two
