  • About Me

    Sue Pilkington, Homeopath in Devon and Somerset, BSc(Hons) Comp. Sci. MARH

    broken image

    Like many people, I came to homeopathy through successful treatment of my own condition. When my son also responded well to homeopathy, I wanted to know more.

    Unable to find a short evening or weekend course to learn basic Homeopathy, I enrolled at Purton House School of Homeopathy on a 1 year acute prescribing course. From day one I was hooked and stayed on for the full 4 year professional Homeopathy course.

     

    I love working with people to improve their health. Since graduating in 2004 I have run clinics in Wells, Street and currently in Wellington Somerset and Devon (gradually heading south!) although I also work via Skype, Facetime and Zoom for people living further away or abroad.

     

    Remember those courses that I couldn't find? I now run them!

    The course runs over 2 evenings giving you enough information to use basic homeopathic remedies at home without actually becoming a homeopath (although one person who attended a course has!).

     

    My early career started with an Honours Degree in Computer Science leading to work in IT technical support and recruitment. I then spent over 10 years in the NHS as a GP Practice Manager and as a freelance manager after that.

    My experience in the NHS increased my passion about fostering a return to self-reliance for acute health conditions which could alleviate some of the pressure on the NHS - a precious resource that we cannot afford to lose.

     

    I take part in regular Continuing Professional Development (CPD). and in 2013 I qualified in Homeopathic Supervision which I offer to students and practitioners of any complementary therapy.

  • Testimonials

    Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine which considers the whole person rather than specific medical conditions.

    Thanks to everyone below for their generous and inspiring feedback of their personal experience of homeopathy.

    "Tears of joy this morning rather than tears of grief. Thank you so, so much for your care. x"

     

    "The remedy Sue recommended certainly had an impact. It was gentle but the change was definite. Sue was warm, approachable, communicative and clearly very knowledgeable, qualities that were vital to me at that time. I trusted her and it was a wise choice. Homeopathy gave me glimmer of hope when I felt absolutely devoid of anything else."

     

    "Homeopathy helps me to stay on the maximum dose of medication, and it helps me to feel more in control of my health at a difficult time. Learning about homeopathy from Sue has enabled me to become confident in using remedies and, although initially cautious, I have been amazed at how quickly the remedies can work."

  • Homeopathy

    Homeopathy is a safe, gentle and non-toxic healing methodology. It can be used by people of all ages including at sensitive times of life such as pregnancy, for babies, children and for the elderly.

    I work with people with a range of conditions - on a physical, mental and emotional level. Homeopathy does not treat specific medical conditions, but looks at the whole picture of your health and where you feel out of balance. Many of my patients (of all ages) come to see me because of issues arising from grief, trauma, finding life difficult to deal with or lacking the energy or enthusiasm for life that they used to have. I work with you as an individual, with the aim of restoring your innate good health and wellbeing.

    .

    Consultation:

    The aim of the consultation is to enable me to understand you and the unique way in which you relate to your symptoms. Most patients find this an interesting and gentle discussion regarding personal and family medical history, your likes/dislikes, lifestyle, environment and relationships, allowing us to consider your susceptibility to dis-ease and to redirect you to a place of wellbeing. If required, I will prescribe homeopathic treatment: sometimes a healing conversation is enough at that point.

    The conversation is geared to your needs and is appropriate for children if they are the patient – play and drawings can provide lots of information!

    All interaction between us is confidential.

    The first consultation will take around 1 to 1.5 hours with subsequent appointments taking around 50 minutes. Sometimes it is possible for me to supply a remedy immediately, if required, but mostly I post out remedies within a few days.

    We then book an initial follow-up for 4-6 weeks later, although timing of consultations may vary according to the severity and length of your health issues. Once improvement is established, appointments will naturally space out and then some patients see me regularly once or twice a year to discuss any health issues that have arisen and to keep their health in focus.

    I suggest that you consider at least 3 appointments in order to fully access the healing that is possible: some acute issues may be addressed quite quickly but anything more chronic requires time for a full individual prescription. However, there should be improvement in the time-frame of 3 appointments.

    As part of the consultation, I set out how your treatment might progress so that we can agree this together.

    I am available to speak briefly with you between appointments to answer any queries you may have. If this turns into more than a 5-10 minute chat then I may suggest bringing your next appointmso if people ent forward or charging for an acute consultation.

    Fees:

    Adults (16 +) £70 per consultation or book a package of 3 appointments for £190.

    Children (up to 16) £50 per consultation. Family discounts can be arranged, please discuss directly with me.

    Chemotherapy Support: Consultation fee + £30 Homeopathic remedies can be used to provide homeopathic support during this time. As this requires a lot of time and remedy input, I do need to charge for this time as well as post & packing of extra remedies.

    Repeat remedies £10 this entails me reviewing the remedies to check still appropriate, post and packing.

    Acute consultations £10-30 depending on the time needed - I try to deal with acute consultations under the last consultation fee so please do not hesititate to contact me. If it has been a while since I have seen you then I might suggest that you book a consultation depending on the nature of the acute.

    Consultaiton fees cover:

    • Pre-consultation preparation
    • The consultation, plus time for me to work on finding the best remedy for you, if required
    • Remedies arising from the consultation are included as well as postage & packing - unless it is a liquid remedy bottle to be used only by you in which case I will advise you how to buy this from a homeopathic pharmacy as I don't hold these in stock.
    • Additional brief contact required between booked appointments to answer queries about your treatment, your prescription, remedy reactions, or if you have any acute health issues.

    Payment: preferably by direct bank transfer prior to the appointment unless we have arranged payment at the appoiontment.

    Posting remedies abroad: I am happy to do this with an additional £5 charge to cover postage, time etc.

    I am registered with the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths and work to a professional code of ethics and guidelines including confidentiality.

    I am also registered with the Data Protection Registrar and handle your data securely and in confidence. I will never pass on any of your details.

    My aim is to help you regain the best level of health possible. Should you feel uncertain about any aspect of your treatment, please feel free to contact me for further information or explanation.

  • Chudleigh, Wellington, Exeter, Dawlish, Homeopathy

    Homeopathy at home:

    If the last couple of years has taught us anything, it is that being able to understand and manage our own health and minor illness is invaluable.

    The supermodel Cindy Crawford stated on the Oprah show that she is a big fan of homeopathy and uses a remedy kit.

    Brilliant - Cindy Crawford and I have something in common!

    The course runs over 2 evenings or a whole day and covers

    - homeopathic philosophy

    - homeopathic remedies - how they are made and what they are made from

    - how to take a basic case and when to ask for further help.

    I hope to be running these courses in 2025 in Wellington, Dawlish and Exeter. If you are interested in any of these locations, please contact me.

    Recently, I have provided this as an additional consultation for new patients on a 1-1 basis and have also run this for school PTA groups as a charity fund-raiser.

    Contact me via the form below or phone me to express interest in any of the above and for further information.
