FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions

Consultations

Why do you only offer packages and not single sessions?

Improving health — especially when emotions and physical symptoms are involved — takes time.
Packages allow us to build trust, explore root causes, support the nervous system, and make meaningful adjustments over time rather than rushing care into a single session.

Can I book an initial consultation without a Discovery Call?

No. The Discovery Call is required before scheduling or purchasing consultations.
This ensures we are the right fit and allows your care to begin in a supported, intentional way.

What is included in the Initial Consultation Package?

The package includes:

1 × Initial consultation (60 minutes)

2 × Follow-up consultations (45 minutes each)

All sessions must be used within 3 months from the date of purchase.

Do I need to use all sessions at once?

No. Sessions can be spaced out in a way that best supports your healing, but all sessions must be used within 3 months of purchase.

What happens after I finish the initial package?

After completing the package, we’ll review progress and discuss whether ongoing support is needed

There is no obligation to continue although most patients remain in care.

Are hypnotherapy and CBT included in this package?

At present, hypnotherapy and CBT are being integrated as I complete my qualifications.
Where appropriate, mind-body techniques may be incorporated alongside naturopathic care, and full hypnotherapy offerings will be shared once available.

Do you work with children?

Yes. Children’s consultations are offered within the same structured package model, with sessions adapted to be gentle, age-appropriate and family-centred.

I'm not sure whether Naturopathy is right for me. What should I do?

That’s exactly why the Discovery Call exists.
It's an opportunity to briefly discuss what you're looking for, learn more about my approach and decide whether working together feels appropriate.

If I don't believe I'm the right practitioner for your needs, I'll be open about that and, where possible, suggest a more appropriate avenue of support.

How much do consultations cost?

Consultation fees vary depending on the type of appointment and level of support required. Full pricing and details of what is included are available on the booking page, so you'll know the costs before deciding to proceed.

If you're unsure which option is right for you, you're welcome to book a free Discovery Call first.

The cost of the Initial consultation package (2 consultations) is £260.

The cost of any Follow up consultations is £107

*Payment must be made before the consultation.

*There are no refunds after consultations.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Before your consultation, you'll be asked to complete a health questionnaire so I can begin to understand your health history and current concerns.

It is also helpful to have available:

- Recent blood test or pathology results

- Relevant medical reports or previous functional test results

- A current list of medications and dosages

- A list or photographs of any supplements or herbal medicines you're taking

Any questions or particular concerns you'd like us to discuss

Don't worry if you don't have everything. The most important thing is simply to come prepared to talk about your health, your experiences and what you would like support with.

What happens during my first consultation?

Your initial consultation gives us time to explore your current symptoms, medical history, nutrition, lifestyle, medications and supplements, as well as other factors that may be influencing your health.

My aim is to understand the whole picture rather than looking at individual symptoms in isolation. From there, we can determine the most appropriate next steps and develop your personalised treatment plan.

How many consultations will I need?

This varies considerably depending on your health concerns, goals and how long symptoms have been present. Meaningful change often requires time, which is why I value continuity of care rather than approaching health as a single appointment or quick fix.

We'll regularly review your progress and adjust your plan as needed.

Are consultations available online?

Yes. Online consultations allow us to work together wherever you are located, subject to any professional or regulatory requirements that apply to your circumstances. You'll receive information about your appointment and any forms you need to complete before we meet.

Are functional tests included in the consultation fee?

No. Functional testing is an additional cost and is only recommended where I believe it may provide useful information to help guide your care.

If testing is recommended, I'll explain why I think it may be helpful, what we're looking to understand and the associated costs before you decide whether you'd like to proceed.

Are supplements included?

No. Nutritional supplements and herbal medicines are not included in your consultation fee.

Recommendations are made according to your individual needs, and I aim to keep treatment plans practical and appropriate rather than recommending supplements unnecessarily. Where supplements or herbal medicines are suggested, I'll explain why they have been included in your plan.

How to I get in contact?

You can reach out anytime via the contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one-two business days.

Treatment

What might my treatment plan include?

Every plan is individual. Depending on your needs, recommendations may include nutrition, lifestyle changes, herbal or nutritional medicine, sleep and movement strategies, nervous system support and practical behaviour-change strategies.

As my work integrates further with CBT and clinical hypnotherapy, these approaches may also be incorporated where appropriate.

Do I need functional testing?

Not necessarily. Testing is never recommended simply for the sake of testing.

Where appropriate, I may recommend blood tests or functional testing if the results are likely to provide useful information and influence your treatment plan. I'll explain why I am recommending a test, what we hope to learn from it and any additional costs before you decide whether to proceed

Are supplements included?

Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

Can I continue taking my medication?

Yes. Naturopathic care can often be used alongside conventional medical treatment. I will take your medications into consideration when making recommendations, including checking for potential interactions where relevant.

I do not advise you to stop or alter prescribed medication without discussing this with the healthcare professional responsible for prescribing it.

Can naturopathy replace medical care?

No. Naturopathic care is designed to complement, rather than replace, appropriate conventional medical care.

I encourage you to maintain a relationship with your GP and relevant healthcare professionals and to seek medical assessment, diagnosis and treatment when required. Where appropriate, naturopathic care can work alongside conventional treatment to provide additional support through nutrition, lifestyle medicine and other evidence-informed approaches.

I will also recommend medical assessment or referral where I believe a health concern requires investigation outside my scope of practice.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Is my information private and confidential?

Yes. Your privacy is very important to me. Information you share during your consultations is treated as confidential and your personal and health information is stored securely and handled in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy requirements.

There are limited circumstances where information may need to be disclosed, such as where required by law or where there is a serious safeguarding concern. You can find further information in my Privacy Policy.

Will you share information with my GP or other healthcare practitioners?

Your information will not routinely be shared with other healthcare professionals without your consent. With your permission, I may communicate with your GP, specialist or another practitioner where this would support safe, coordinated care. There may be exceptional circumstances where disclosure is required by law or for safeguarding purposes.

What is your cancellation policy?

I understand that sometimes plans change. If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please provide at least 48 hours' notice wherever possible.

Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice may incur a 50% cancellation fee. Failure to attend an appointment without notice may result in the full consultation fee being charged.
