About your consultation
Appointments can be face-to-face, virtual or telephone.
​
My approach is focussed around functional medicine, enabling you to discover the root cause of your symptoms. Practical, financial and personal considerations are valued so that we can construct manageable plans centred around you so you feel confident.
​
-
After booking your appointment you will receive a welcome pack via email including a comprehensive questionnaire and a 4-day diet diary. You will be asked to return these completed forms prior to your consultation.
-
Initial consultation: up to 90 mins. This involves a detailed health and lifestyle assessment to explore your current symptoms, health history and hopes for therapy. We will work together to create an individualised plan that is based on your needs.
-
You will receive a copy of your agreed plan within 3 working days via email.
-
Follow up consultations: 30 mins. Every 3-4 weeks, depending on individual circumstances and agreed together.​

Please note:
​
-
Functional testing may also be considered to explore the specific biochemical imbalances that may be impacting health. Some of these tests (e.g. iron, thyroid, vitamin D) can be requested through your GP whilst others are carried out by independent laboratories and come at an additional cost (payable to the laboratory). This is entirely optional and can be discussed further in the consultation.
-
Supplements may be recommended. To ensure quality, specific brands will be suggested. We offer 10% discount on supplements ordered at The Natural Dispensary.​ A current medication and nutrient interaction evaluation will be completed if applicable.
-
You may receive personalised recipes, education handouts, book recommendations and shopping lists.
-
Diet and lifestyle changes require commitment to be effective.
