A homeopathic consultation is, at heart, a long structured conversation — your timeline, your history, the precise character of your symptoms. Unlike bodywork, nothing in it requires us to be in the same room. So alongside my North London practice, I’ve consulted for years by WhatsApp video and FaceTime: for clients elsewhere in the UK and abroad, for North Londoners in a flat-out week, and for my regulars whenever I’m travelling.
How it works
- Book: call or email and we arrange a time, exactly as for an in-person appointment.
- Talk: we meet on WhatsApp video or FaceTime, whichever you already use. A first consultation runs well over an hour — find a private corner and a cup of tea.
- Remedies: I post them to you with clear instructions, wherever you are.
- Follow up: reviews every few weeks by video, with quick messages in between if something shifts.
Does video lose anything?
Less than you’d think. Case-taking is about listening, and some people actually speak more freely from their own kitchen than in any consulting room. I can see what I need to see on a good video call. The honest caveats: acute situations where a child needs eyes on them are better in person or with the GP, and a shaky connection ruins the rhythm of a first consultation — if your signal is poor, we’ll plan around it.
Who chooses video
Clients have worked with me this way from Mallorca and East Grinstead and Bedfordshire — you can read a few of them on the testimonials page — alongside plenty of Londoners who simply prefer it. It also means continuity: moving house, working abroad for a season or a diary that won’t cooperate doesn’t interrupt the work.
In person still matters
For North London clients I’d gently say: come in person for the first consultation if you reasonably can, then move to video for follow-ups if that suits your life better. Most of my practice ends up a mixture of both.
Wherever you are, the starting point is the same — a phone call on 07956 217 276. If I’m with a client, leave a message and I’ll come back to you.
Homeopathy is a complementary approach: it sits alongside, and never replaces, the care of your GP or hospital team. If you have new, severe or worrying symptoms, please see your doctor or call NHS 111 first — and keep taking any prescribed medication unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
