Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Katerina Roberts, I am a Complementary Therapist and have been working in this field for over 20 years. I have a degree in Homeopathy, but also hold qualifications in Reflexology, Reiki and Aromatherapy. I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists. |

My Beliefs
Many people wrongly presume that those who work in alternative health are against modern medicine. This is often not the case, my personal belief is that it has many benefits, there is no doubt that it saves lives and I am full of admiration for the Doctors and Nurses who work tirelessly in this field.
Many complementary therapies can help support the treatment people are already receiving, aiding their recovery and in some cases alleviate unwanted side effects from medication.
We all know that the overuse of antibiotics and other drugs has caused problems in our fight against disease, but luckily we have other options in systems of medicine such as homeopathy, herbalism and essential oils that have been used and developed over hundreds of years. I see so many good results from these in my day to day practice, that I am passionate about keeping this knowledge alive. For me, it is like having a tool box at my fingertips and choosing the right tool for the job at hand. It may be Tea Tree essential oil to help fight a cold, a herb to aid sleep or a homeopathic remedy for a skin disorder.
In my experience, natural medicines are often a gentler and kinder way of working with the body. My aim as a practitioner is to help the client be the best they possibly can be.

My Experience
I have been self employed as a Complementary Therapist since 1993. I am currently based at clinics in Petts Wood and West Wickham which are situated in the area of the South East London/Kent border
I hold a Certificate in Education (Post Compulsory) and have taught the Holistic Treatments section of the BTEC National Diploma in Health Studies at Orpington College. For many years at Bromley Adult Education Centre, alongside workshops in Complementary Therapies, I trained other therapists to achieve their ITEC diploma in Holistic Massage and was the principal lecturer in Anatomy & Physiology.
I have worked on a voluntary basis with The Passage in London assisting the homeless and also extensively with disabled people in my employment with The Cheshire Foundation as an Aromatherapist. I was a founder member of the Petts Wood Reiki Group and have previous affiliations with The Society of Homeopaths and NHS Directory of Reflexologists

What you can expect from a treatment
In my practice I incorporate the knowledge that I’ve gained over the years from many different therapies. So, during a consultation you may receive homeopathic remedies alongside an aromatherapy blend or even instructions on meditative techniques, depending on your requirements.
For those needing ongoing care, I would recommend booking a homeopathic consultation. The first appointment for adults is usually 1hr 30mins (1hr for children), in which we will gather your personal and medical history with details of your condition. You will then be given a homeopathic prescription to take at home. Follow-up appointments of approximately 30mins, are usually every 4-6 weeks, where we will review your progress and at this point either the medication will be repeated or you will be given a new prescription.
Although I would prefer to see you in person, I understand that this is not always possible. In which case, we are able to conduct your homeopathic consultation via Skype,
For those able to visit, single appointments for Reflexology or Reiki are also available for either one hour or half hour.

Who can it help?
Over the years I have treated people of all ages and from different walks of life, but the most common conditions that I see in my daily practice are:
- Children - learning difficulties and support at school, allergic reactions
- Teenagers - anxiety disorders, depression, confidence issues, skin problems
- Elderly - muscular aches and pains, immune support
- Women - menopause, hormonal disturbances, fertility issues
- Men - stubborn ailments such as recurring colds, digestive disorders, sleep disturbances

“Katerina and homeopathy has helped my children and myself with various health problems, some of which quite serious. Homeopathy treats the ‘whole’ person in a gentle non toxic way. Would recommend to anyone”. Joanne P, 11th June, 2018
