I have worked privately, as a Homeopathic Physician since 1994,
for over five years I was employed by the Manchester Homeopathic Clinic (Charity Organisation) and
for more than six years at the Liverpool Homeopathic Department (part of the NHS)

These days I only practice Homeopathy, with my medical knowledge helping me along to make suggestions for medical investigations and understanding the medical conditions and complications of illnesses.
I practice Homeopathy, privately, after the patient makes an appointment.
All problems and all ages are included, as well as all conditions.
Purely surgical conditions can also be helped, along with the medical intervention. For example complicated traumas and recovery after operations.

I take the individual case in my practice -unless this is not possible- sometimes on Skype, asking and conversing with the patient on his/her nature, his/her physical complaints and sensitivities,, to understand their constitutional make up and where their system is imbalanced- and finally prescribe a homeopathic remedy, which when chosen accurately based on their whole state, can start the healing process.

Every case is unique; ten people with the same medical diagnosis could receive a different remedy each one of them.
This happens because the physical illness is experienced and modified in every single individual in a unique way, the mental/emotional background providing the blueprint of it, leading to different remedies in each case.

All ages and states can be treated, the success of the therapy depends on various individual factors.

Results of lab tests are welcome, I may even suggest some and give direction for further investigations, however they are not as important in Homeopathy for the diagnosis and therapy, as Homeopathy is very clinical and relies on observation, clinical signs and the narration from the patient, relatives and other observers (in children, people in a coma, people with communication problems)

All patients can be treated, without having their medication altered until they feel better and consult the practitioner who prescribed the drugs. Even in cases where the patient is under chemotherapy, it is worth trying homeopathy, for relief from side effects of drugs or 'boosting' of the vital energy.

In every case the information on drugs you take as well as other factors of your lifestyle are needed in the case taking, as these can affect the prognosis and the repetition or choice of the strength of your homeopathic remedy/ies.

Initially you will have a long consultation lasting normally 1-1.30 hours, and then you do a follow up in a month's time or earlier, in case of an acute condition, then as needed ;
once you feel better, there is less need to come back for more treatment.
However, chronic cases of severe pathology or skin conditions complicated by internal or systematic illness, of long standing and/or years of medication may need months of treatment until they completely heal. Improvement, though, should be expected to start soon after the well chosen remedy.

Your case and prognosis should be discussed on an individual base.

Follow ups last 30-60 minutes and cost accordingly.

There is a one- remedy prescription included in the fee. If more than one remedies are needed, there is an additional fee-usually less than five pounds; creams, ointments, lotions have an additional charge to cover their cost.

I am available to answer any questions between follow ups.
