Naturopathy and Nutritional Therapy in South and West Yorkshire Consultations - what you can expect An initial consultation lasts for 60-75 minutes. During the initial consult I concentrate on gathering your medical and life history and what health issues you need support with, in order to create a treatment plan that suits your needs. A health history questionnaire and diet diary will be sent to you for completion prior to your visit.  Please bring them with you to your appointment. During this consultation, I may use certain Naturopathic tools to help create a picture of your health, and if necessary I may order appropriate laboratory tests to provide concise information about your health. I will then devise a detailed personalised programme for you, designed to specifically address your areas of concern and encourage re-balancing of your body. This programme is agreed with you and may include dietary, supplemental and lifestyle recommendations, meal ideas and accompanying handouts, all of which will be dependant on your needs and your budget.  Note: Any nutritional supplements recommended as part of your programme are checked against any medication that you are taking and would be charged in addition to the consultation fee, as would any testing. Follow-up appointments …are recommended within 2 to 4 weeks of the initial consultation to assess your progress and the effectiveness of your nutritional programme. We can decide how often we need to see each other so that you feel supported in such a way that will help you grow the most. They are also important for answering any further questions that you may have and to make any adjustments to your programme. Follow up consultations last 30-45 minutes, but arrangements can be made to meet your individual needs. The number of consultations necessary depends on how best I can support you. Alternative consultations are also available, where required, to help guide clients on a shopping trip to provide helpful advice in assessing food choices and healthier options, where to buy alternative foods or what the alternative foods look like. Consultation Fees Please note that fees are location dependent Initial consultation package appointment £45 - £60 Follow-up appointments (45 minutes) £35 - £45 © Cath Finegan 2011 New: Special Programmes for 2011!
