I have been practising Homeopathy in Essex for the past twenty five years treating a wide variety of people of all ages from pregnancy through birth to old age. Homoeopathy is a complete and effective system of medicine that has been practised for centuries in many countries worldwide. Homeopathy is a holistic practice; you are considered to be an integrated whole and your physical, mental and emotional states are essentially interconnected. Therefore I am interested to understand you as an individual as well as your individual symptoms of disease or ill-health. As a holistic practitioner I understand that your symptoms can be an expression of a deeper disharmony, therefore I aim to treat you as a whole person, rather than your symptoms as isolated problems. In addition to my Homeopathic practice I offer individual counselling and I find that my counselling experience complements my homeopathic practice. The 16th century philosopher and physician, Paracelsus, said ''Those who merely study and treat the effects of the disease are like those who imagine that they can drive away the winter by brushing the snow from the door. It is not the snow that causes winter, but winter that causes the snow''. By choosing holistic medicine the aim is to treat you as a whole person and understand the root cause of the disease rather than just treat the symptoms.
