In my twenties I suffered with anxiety. I was a senior advisor in Whitehall advising Ministers. But every day, once I got onto the tube, I would suffer with awful panic attacks. The anxiety builds in the morning and by the time I had to travel it could be overwhelming. It affected my quality of life and I felt that no one understood what it felt like. Every morning it felt like I was going to die.

My mother, who was trained in Homeopathy by my grandfather, suggested a local Homeopath. Over several months she worked with me, supported me and carefully selected remedies for me to take regularly. After 6 months, I was cured. I still carry Aconite with me, just in case I feel a twist of anxiety, but my Homeopath empowered me to move away from a state of anxiety and enabled me to get on with my life.

At this point I decided to follow in my grandfather and mother’s footsteps and train in Homeopathy, formalising my lifelong love of it. We had always used Homeopathy at home, and we had professional Homeopathic treatment when needed but I knew I needed more. I enrolled at the Centre for Homeopathic Education and now 15+ years on I am in professional clinical practice.

Once in practice I quickly noticed that I would attract patients who often need support for their own anxiety. I relish this opportunity as I empathise with my patients suffering and what they are going through, knowing that there is a way out. So about a decade ago I decided to specialise in treating anxiety using Homeopathy, to broaden my knowledge as my experience in practice grew.

More often than not I have noticed that my patients who suffer with anxiety often have other related problems too, such as sleep disorders, hormonal imbalance and gut health issues.

Homeopathy is great at helping people at every level, mentally, emotionally, and physically. The beauty of Homeopathic treatment is that our approach is truly holistic, and this makes for a great fit with anxiety. As a professional practitioner I can focus on treating the patient’s anxiety using Homeopathic remedies, but I can also help them with the physical symptoms too, that is often closely tied in with the anxiety. This can be revolutionary to the patient, particularly if they have not had Homeopathic treatment before. They can feel calmer, free of anxiety, and also have the related physical symptoms like sleep problems solved too.
