What to expect in a consultation

Before we meet, you’ll be asked to complete a brief form. This includes details about any medications you’re taking, formal or suspected diagnoses, referrals, test results, and other key information. If you prefer, you can provide this via voice note.

The first consultation lasts up to 1.5 hours for adults or 50 minutes for children. This is your time to share your story and feel heard. It’s a privilege to be entrusted with your health, and you can expect to be listened to with care and without judgment. Together, we’ll explore where support is most needed and discuss any goals you may have.

Taking a whole-person approach, we’ll talk about your lifestyle, diet, work and play, medical history, and the overall functioning of your body systems—from head to toe. This often reveals connections or issues that may have been previously overlooked.

With your consent, a physical assessment may be included. This could involve checking your blood pressure, feeling your pulse, examining your tongue, or other relevant observations.

Time will be taken after the appointment to review your case, carry out any necessary research, create a management plan, and prepare any herbal prescriptions.

We’ll meet again in 2–4 weeks to review how things are going. Everyone responds differently, and expected duration varies depending on the nature of the issue. Acute conditions may shift more quickly and benefit from more frequent check-ins, while chronic concerns often take longer to change.

Consultations are mainly online with the possibility of face to face in South East London / Croydon.
Walk and Talks in nature may be offered if appropriate.
Local home visits and online evening appointment may be requested. Please get in touch to discuss.
