Athena Cassar RSHom PGCE
My passion in health and healing has been a lifelong journey. As a child I remember both my Grandmothers preparing herbal remedies and using food medicinally for a variety of ailments.
After a long career in education, community development and as a Professional counsellor I decided to leave my job and pursue my interest and curiosity in homeopathy, enrolling at the North West College of Homeopathy.
I have been involved in a number of local initiatives, working in partnership with the NHS Trusts and other local community projects and I am pleased that more than 10 years on these are still continuing.
On graduating, I continued my long held fascination with food and its nutritional importance in combating imbalances in health. In pursuit of greater understanding I went to Kerala, Southern India to work/study with a group of Ayurvedic doctors. I found this experience invaluable, greatly increasing my knowledge of the biochemical relationship of food and health.
On a more personal level, effective homeopathic treatment has eliminated excruciating back pain that I suffered for more than 20 years. I have also found it tremendously useful in more serious life threatening situations both personally and with my patients.
I am totally committed to using homeopathic medicines as they are gentle, non-invasive and leave no residual side effects. I believe homeopathy can empower individuals to be their 'true' selves and thus be more in harmony. The fact that homeopathy considers individuals in their totality and not just a collection of symptoms, means that we offer a unique and personalised service to our patients.
As a dedicated homeopath and healer I am committed to achieving the optimum health outcomes for my patients, and this is the philosophical basis of my practice.
I am inspired by the beauty of nature, an unswerving belief in the goodness of human nature and the creativity of the wonderful people that I have met in my life. |
Caroline Dent
Caroline is dedicated to the practice of supporting the highest potential in each of us, combined with a deep love of the natural world. She initially implemented these principles in teaching Investigative and Natural Sciences in Secondary School (B.Sc. Hons , PGCE),which she enjoyed for 15 years promoting discovery by investigation. Homoeopathy discovered her during her search to find a way to rebalance the health of her daughter diagnosed as asthmatic at 3 years old. The transformation of her daughter's health and subsequent involvement with homoeopathy led to professional practice once graduated from the oldest established college in the UK, The School of Homoeopathy in Devon in 2005.
Caroline is interested in offering treatment to all and have particular interests in promoting children's health and wellbeing through an increasingly complex and changing world where 'attention deficit' and behavioural issues arise. Children are the future and with homoeopathic support develop healthy responses to environmental and emotional challenges. She is working towards developing an individually based learning skills pack as she sees the principles of homoeopathic approach to be more widely applicable and appreciates that so many struggle with a 'standard' approach within our restricted educational curriculum.
She contributes to the work of The Travelling Homoeopaths Collective, a charity focusing on introducing homoeopathy, and enjoys presenting talks to interested groups of all kinds. She offers first aid courses that are tailored to the needs of individual families as has found this to be a useful and appropriate way for people to find how homoeopathy can support them. She delights in travelling and meeting homoeopaths all over the world. It has been interesting and enlivening to work with LICH in Belgrade.
Caroline is developing a homoeopathic garden at her home in Somerset, enjoys walking, batik and jazz. |

George Garlick
I am a homoeopath with a wide range of clinical experience, including severe pathology, and working with a physiotherapist in a pain clinic.
I am the Chairman of the Board of the North West College of Homoeopathy, where I teach LICH Diploma Part 1-equivalent repertory and philosophy. I co-ordinate a local homoeopath network & lead College study groups, and manage a small student-focussed homoeopathic book sales operation.
I have worked in support of self-help organisations and health groups from a wide variety of cultures and faiths: Afro-Caribbean and west African organisations; numerous groups with Indian sub-continental roots, and a Sikh, Muslim and Hindu faith base; and eastern European migrant workers.
My great loves lie in: understanding self-healing; exploring the Organon as a practical case tool; using the repertory as a tool derived from observation; historical development and provings; and, investigating sensations in pain.
Mary, our two girls, and the Rossendale hills where I live, all have special places in my heart. |
Liz Hennel RSHom
Having trained at King's College Hospital and the Bethlem Royal & Maudsley Hospitals, I worked in the National Health Service for many years. While in the NHS and after I left to work in the non-statutory sector, I specialised in the field of addictions for 15 years. In that time I was involved in developing government policy and services, as well as training programmes for professionals in addition to maintaining my own clinical practice. In the 1980s I took a sabbatical and spent a couple of years in Virginia, USA, living and working in a therapeutic community for adults with learning disabilities or mental illness, which was a fantastic experience. I have been involved in voluntary or humanitarian work for more than 25 years, always in the health professions.
After many years of interest in homeopathy, and having been a patient, I decided to re-train, initially at the London College of Classical Homeopathy before transferring to the North West College where I finished my training. I have been in full-time practice since 1997; my practice is varied, but I have a special interest in thyroid disease as well as maintaining an interest in children and adults with learning disabilities. In 2000 I set up a project in western Nicaragua, teaching homeopathy in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch on behalf of Frontline Homeopathy. I started to teach for LICH in 2001, and have worked in Serbia and Croatia.
For relaxation I enjoy walking with my dogs in the beautiful hills where I live. I also enjoy listening to music. When I have the time I intend to resume my old hobby of hand-weaving. |

I have always been passionate about taking homeopathy to marginalised communities and have run homeopathic clinics in a project for homeless people and in a UK prison. I am currently involved in a government funded homeopathic project with health visitors making targeted referrals in deprived communities in Brighton. I balance this work with my private practices in London and Brighton.
I enjoy languages and travel and worked in Mexico for 2 years in the mid 80's. Shortly after qualifying as a homeopath, I became involved in teaching projects in Central America and recently began a new project in Cuba. I have worked as a teacher for LICH in Croatia, Beirut and Belgrade.
I have been teaching and supervising at the South Downs College of Homeopathy in Chichester since 1999.
Prior to becoming a homeopath, I worked for many years in an IT department for a Lloyds insurance syndicate in London.
In my spare time I relax doing yoga and am learning to play the saxophone |
