During a Consultation, I will take a full and thorough history of the presenting problem and other medical information, applying an holistic approach. The first appointment will usually last 90 minutes and is best done face-to-face where possible, especially as I may need to examine you. At the end of this, I will work on a treatment plan with you, which is likely to include lifestyle advice and some form of Herbal Treatment. Follow-up appointments are usually shorter (about 30 minutes) and can be face-to-face, via telephone or via the internet. Herbal treatments are flexible and often change with time, reflecting your changing health needs. Some conditions respond quickly to short courses of treatment; some need longer to settle.
