One of the principles of homeopathy is that people vary in their responses to an illness according to their basic temperament. It follows, therefore, that a homeopath does not automatically prescribe a specific remedy for a specific illness. Instead, a homeopath tries to determine the patient's temperament and responses and to prescribe on a more individual basis. Patients suffering from the same diseases often require different remedies. On the other hand, another group of patients, with different diseases, may all benefit from the same remedy.

Homeopathy is essentially a natural healing process, providing remedies to assist the patient to regain health by stimulating the body's natural forces of recovery. It concentrates on treating the patient, rather than the disease.

Therefore, in order to ascertain as much about the patient and their symptoms, the initial homeopathic consultation will usually take two hours. All follow up appointments usually take up to an hour.

Consultations can be conducted by video or socially distanced face to face.
