About Me
Sue Pilkington,
3Principles Facilitator and Homeopath
in Devon and Somerset, BSc(Hons) Comp. Sci. MARH
Two things have profoundly affected my professional therapy career:
The first was Homeopathy which I came to through successful treatment of my own condition. When my son also responded well to Homeopathy, I had to know more about this system of natural healthcare.
I find it amazing that our current medical system is based only on the management of chronic disease with expensive pharmaceuticals, which can often lead to more pharmaceuticals. Homeopathy treats the vital force - the energy that runs the body - rebalancing the whole system at all levels: physical, mental and emotional.
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, graduating in 2004.
The second thing was coming to an understanding of Syd Banks' 3Principles of Mind, Thought and Consciousness . The 3 Principles guide us in understanding the nature of thought and of our own true wellbeing.
This enabled me to see beyond a period of grief and trauma in my life, I became more comfortable with myself and learned that I could choose how to respond in any situation. It taught me that although we live in the full range of human experience - which can seem very variable - our innate wisdom is available to us at all times. We just need to tune in.
"Everyone in this world shares the same innate source of wisdom, but it is hidden by the tangle of our own misguided personal thoughts"
- Syd Banks, The Missing Link.
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.
In 2013 I qualified in Homeopathic Supervision and offer supervision 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."
3Principles and
Homeopathy
Having been a Homeopath for over 20 years, I trust Homeopathy as 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.
So, for some time I provided Homeopathy with the addition of 3Principles. However, the more I work with the 3Ps, the more I see insight as a lasting remedy. It is like the ancient parable of giving a person a fish (a homeopathic remedy), or teaching a person to fish (providing space for insight).
Currently, I offer a mix of 3Ps/Homeopathy as appropriate to the person and the issue they would like to work with. Often, a healing coversation is enough to provide fresh thought and insight. Sometimes, our conversation reveals a homeopathic remedy which can support the healing process.
3 Principles:
This was founded by Syd Banks whose profound insight enables us to understand the nature of thought. Our thoughts create our individual reality (although it often looks as though it is external circumstances shaping our reality). This gives us the gift that whatever our external circumstances, we can change the quality of our thinking about them. At any time, our current thought can be replaced by another thought.
What has that got to do with anything?
Thoughts create feelings and feelings change our physiology - for example, we can recognise that fear releases adrenaline which changes our heart rate, breathing and blood flow. So, understanding our thought patterns can help us to understand mental/emotional issues such as trauma, anxiety, grief, depression as well as the very real physical pain and other physical issues that arise from these states.Homeopathy:
Homeopathy does not treat specific medical conditions, but looks at the whole picture of your health and where you feel out of balance. Your symptoms provide information so we listen to them rather than suppressing them. 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 as quickly as possible.

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 wide-ranging 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. In the main, healing conversations can bring profound shifts. Where required, I will prescribe homeopathic treatment.
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.
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 may require more time. However, I usually expect 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 the nature of your query is more complex then I may suggest bringing your next appointment 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 remedies.
Repeat remedies £10 per remedy this entails me reviewing the remedies to check still appropriate, post and packing.
Acute consultations I am happy to deal with acute consultations/brief queries between booked appointments so please do not hesitate to contact me. If it is more complex or it has been a while since I have seen you then I will need to charge a fee of £10-£30 depending on the time needed or I might suggest that you book a consultation.
Payment: preferably by direct bank transfer prior to the appointment unless we have arranged payment at the appointment.
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.
Homeopathy at home:
If the last few years have 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 and Devon. If you are interested, please contact me.
Recently, I have provided this as an additional consultation for new clients on a 1-1 basis.
If you are a charity fund-raiser, do contact me about running this course to raise money - I can donate time a couple of times a year to do this.
Contact me via the form below or phone me to express interest in any of the above and for further information.
