What can be treated?

Homeopathy treats people, not illnesses! However, it's true to say that it's usually a cluster of symptoms to which we commonly give a name, such as "eczema", "anorexia", "fungal nail infection", "low libido", "infertility" which initially brings a person to see a homeopath. From there we can work together to address deeper spiritual and psychological issues which are part of the cause of the presenting symptoms. Treatment also helps prevent chronic illness developing by stimulating the immune system and is excellent in cases of anxiety, phobias, and depression.

Typical situations where homeopathy and flower essence therapies are useful include:

Travel abroad (malaria, etc.)
Emotional and mental health problems
Fertility, pregnancy and childbirth
Children, babies and family life
Breastfeeding
Allergies
Hormonal problems
Long-term problems

Emotional and or mental health problems

I can help you with problems you are having with emotional issues or mental health problems, such as:

Emotional life: we live in a society where, from a young age, people are taught to hide their true feelings, particularly anger, grief, and sadness. This suppression of our emotions can have serious consequences in the longer term, when we may no longer be conscious of the original cause of our distress. Homeopaths are like detectives - we help you uncover the causes of distress so they can be dealt with. Homeopathy can help you re-assess the past, really experience the present, and have courage and hope for the future. In other cases, such as bereavement, the cause may be clear but you might need help with grieving.

Stress and anxiety: homeopathy can help with panic attacks, exam worries, preparing for your driving test, even stage-fright and loss of voice in singers.

I have a professional interest in dyslexia and dyspraxia too, and here homeopathy is of great benefit in aiding self-confidence and self-awareness, as well as addressing the underlying difficulties.

Other conditions: I have had success in helping patients with other emotional and mental health issues such as agoraphobia, depression, eating disorders, neuroses and obsessive behaviours.

Fertility, pregnancy and childbirth

I have successfully worked with couples on fertility issues.

All sorts of discomforts and worries during the ante- and post-natal period - as well as during the actual childbirth - can be treated including:

"morning" sickness
indigestion and heartburn
varicose veins
backache
assistance where a baby is overdue, to avoid hospital induction (particularly important for couples hoping for a home birth)
bruising and tiredness after labour
baby blues and post-natal depression

... and resuming your sex life after baby is born.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is a wonderful experience for mothers, and the best start in life for babies. Problems with milk supply, sore nipples, mastitis, etc can make breastfeeding difficult but can be helped with homeopathy.

Hormonal problems

acne in adolescence and later
lack of libido
menopause
period problems
polycystic ovaries
fibroids
infertility

Long term problems

Homeopathy can assist people with ongoing and chronic conditions such as:

chronic fatigue
old sports and road traffic accident injuries
headaches
migraines
arthritis
rheumatism
candida/thrush
food intolerances
anorexia
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
