About Me
My Background
I have now left the NHS after 41 years, 29 of those in Respiratory Medicine, to dedicate my life to homeopathy and raising the profile of this amazing form of healing. I have always had an interest in natural products. I decided to train as a homeopath because I wanted to give my end stage patients more of a holistic centred approach. Little did I realise what a life changing decision I was making. I have 26 years experience with using Homeopathy and 4 years studying to become a graduate of The Dynamis School of Advanced Homeopathy
With my specialist background and expertise in Classical Homeopathy I am ideally placed to treat Long Covid and of course any other ailments or disease.
I am now working solely as a homeopath. I want to expand my practice both in Harrogate and in London where I work every other month at reCentre in Balham.
I teach at the North West College of Homeopathy and supervise students. I am also a Home Study Tutor - Medical Science with The School of Homeopathy in Stroud

Why I decided to train as a Homeopath
My son Archie developed symptoms of asthma when he was two years of age. This developed suddenly. With help from my homeopath I have only ever treated him homoeopathically and now he is completely symptom free.
I am really excited about the opportunity this qualification gives me and I intend to raise the profile and general awareness that this homeopathy so richly deserves.
About Homeopathy
It is a holistic therapeutic system based on the principle that ‘like treats like’. It treats the person rather than the condition or disease.
It has the potential to help patients with a wide range of conditions both acute and chronic. For example, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, colds, tonsillitis, glandular fever,, cystitis, skin conditions eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, menstrual and menopausal problems, chronic fatigue, migraine, stress related conditions and insomnia.
The traumas of everyday living can weaken our resistance to illness. Some people use homeopathy to minimise the way the body reacts to the stresses of life and the environment and so keep illness at bay. True health is the ability to achieve our full potential without the detriment of dis_ease. Hence my logo is Health and Homeopathy
Homeopaths use specially prepared, highly diluted substances, given mainly in a tablet or liquid form. It is a very individualised holistic treatment. It looks at the causation as opposed to the affect which conventional medicine treats.
Holistic means studying a person and the skill of the homeopath is to find the thread that links all their symptoms together. It is especially important to understand the mental/emotional health as well as the physical and general symptoms. The physical symptoms are indicators that the mental and emotional are affected.
The result is a rapid, gentle permanent cure. that promotes and enhances the natural reaction of the immune system. Homeopathy speeds up the rate of recovery
The treatment is called the remedy and that originates from either a plant, mineral or animal. There are now 4,000 remedies and the skill is in finding which is the most appropriate. It is truly an art and a science. To put it simply it is the catalyst that stimulates the body to heal itself.
To do this, it is necessary to do a confidential in-depth consultation which can take one and a half hours.
I also run Awareness Evenings 'Homeopathy Simply Explained' and First Aid Courses for mothers or individuals to be able to treat their family or themselves with a whole range of acute problems such as fevers, colds, coughs, injuries, flu
