❌ “You must stop taking your prescribed medication.”
I would never ask my patients to stop medication prescribed by their doctor. That decision must always be theirs, and I encourage them to discuss it with their prescribing doctor and follow their guidance.
I can absolutely support them on that journey - help with support for organs such as the kidneys, thyroid or liver, or with remedies supporting the particular issue. When medication is reduced, it should be done gradually and under medical supervision.
❌ “You can’t take painkillers when you’re in pain, only homeopathic remedies.”
Again, I would never say this.
It’s not my body and it’s not my pain. I don’t know how severe it is or all the circumstances surrounding it. It could be a migraine during a busy day at work, and not taking pain relief might simply create even more stress.
What I love hearing from my patients is:
“Homeopathic remedies help me so much now that I don’t even need painkillers.”
❌ “You should/shouldn’t vaccinate.”
I would never advise a patient whether or not to vaccinate. It’s simply not my place.
This is a personal decision, and everyone needs to do their own research and decide what feels right for them. My role is to support people in whichever decision they make and focus on their overall health and wellbeing.
❌ “I treat your diagnosis of...”
I don’t treat diagnoses. I don’t treat labels.
I treat people experiencing those diagnoses, and that is fundamentally different.
People can have completely different experiences of the same illness. Take anxiety, for example. One person may struggle with racing thoughts and sleepless nights, while another experiences digestive issues and panic attacks. It’s those individual differences that help guide my choice of homeopathic remedies.
❌ “You can only use homeopathy—no other therapies or conventional medicine—while under my care.”
Homeopathy is part of an integrative approach to healthcare, many therapies can be beautifully combined and complement each other. I also often refer patients to their GP for investigations or when I recognise red flags.
I believe healthcare should empower people, not pressure them. That’s the approach I bring to every consultation.
