I am a holistic medical doctor who uses a combination approach and works online and in West and Southwest London.
I come from a family of doctors and studied medicine at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London. I qualified as a conventional medical doctor in 1985 with a sense of questions still unanswered. I went on to work in several different areas to gain experience, including: general medicine, respiratory medicine, general surgery, urology, gynaecology, accident and emergency, and psychiatry of the elderly. A process of elimination led me to consider psychiatry as an interesting career so I started on a training scheme.
My consultant physician suspected tuberculosis or leukaemia.
I decided to change career with a jump in the dark and enrolled to train with the Faculty of Homeopathy in London, qualifying as a homeopath in 1992. Since then I have studied widely as my interest has always been ‘the truth’, rather than any particular therapeutic approach. To medicine I added multi-year trainings in homeopathy, medical herbalism and healing and much else too.
I was the UK lead for a well known naturopathic protocol, worked at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital for many years before co-founding and medically directing one of London’s first large centres for complementary medicine.
I have worked in many other settings and also appeared in the media (there was no ‘social’ media back then!).
...followed, including: a head tumour, miraculous outcome from high risk surgery, paralysis, traumatic brain injury and more, the worst being chronic fatigue.
All this serious illness has reduced me greatly but it has also given back. It has changed a standard directed career into a worthwhile and true vocation, one I happily give myself to rather than resent. It has clarified my understanding and equipped me with more resources than typical taught-medicine would have. While acknowledging that most non-pharmaceutical medicine is unproven according to ‘the’ science, I find these resources very helpful in my practice. I find all medical systems to be incomplete and that using more than one perspective really opens up the understanding and from there, therapeutic possibilities.
I am a member of the Faculty of Homeopathy, Society of Homeopaths and National Institute of Medical Herbalists.
