What to expect
Your first visit to see your homeopath will last about 90 minutes and it takes the form of a conversation. As well as discussing what has brought you for treatment, John will ask you lots of questions to get an understanding of what it's like to be you. By taking a full case history in this way, the homeopath treats the full picture of you, rather than concentrating on your symptoms in isolation. All information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
The homeopath will usually need some time to find the right remedy for you, so in most cases a remedy will be sent to you by post.
