Holistic medical care: designed around you
Would you like to feel better? Is your health holding you back? And what if you invested more time in your own well-being?
Are you looking for a medical doctor who has the time, space and experience to listen without judgement to what’s really bothering you?
Dr Andersen is a holistic medical practitioner who will listen to you with compassion and understanding. She will address your concerns using the principles of a healthy lifestyle ( focusing on how you sleep, eat, move, feel, create and connect ). Using practical problem solving she can make a plan with you which not only suits your lifestyle, but brings you joy.
While still working for the NHS, Dr Andersen has chosen to offer online consultations and home visits in Brighton, Hove and the surrounding areas. The perspective will be refreshingly different:
“ My focus is on health rather than disease, and ability rather than disability.”
Dr Andersen is a well respected, fully accredited NHS GP who has been working in and around Brighton as a GP for over 20 years. She has taught at Brighton and Sussex medical school for 10 years, and is an examiner for them. Her outlook is broad as she also has a degree in the History of Medicine and a Masters in Global Health. She has run a number of innovative projects including ‘Grow Your Own Health’ and ‘Fitter Village Healthy Planet’. and is a published researcher on the subject of singing for wellbeing.
As part of her holistic approach she has been a student of yoga for 20 years, practices singing and dancing at any opportunity.
A holistic approach - because humans are dynamic, organic ecosystems, not machines.
Holistic care is about looking at body and mind together. Often a problem presents in several different ways. It is important to be listened to, so that if there is a connection between symptoms it can be found.
Holistic care is about being seen as well as heard. Hippocrates said “It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.” Your past experiences of health and disease, of family and community, and the environment in which you are living now are all important. A trauma informed approach is part of this holistic care.
The aim is to find the root cause of what is bothering you, and to support you to find some understanding, some balance and maybe a bit more creativity in your life.
Holistic medicine, tailor made for you, is more sustainable (likely to last).
It offers a fresh approach that suits you, so you can stick to the changes that you want to make.
This is better for you, and better for the planet. If you have more energy, more joy and are only taking the medicines that you really need then everyone benefits.
What we offer is direct access to a holistic GP who has time for you. This does not replace your NHS service, but works with it to support you in the best way possible.
You can book a single consultation with Dr Andersen, or a package of three. Prices from £ 65 for a 20 minute online appointment. Click on the service you would like….
A convenient online service
You will have enough time to explain all the issues that are bothering you. If there is a quick and straight-forward answer you will get it here! If your concerns are more complex or have built up over months or even years we can prioritise, and see what you want to work on first.
Be seen in the comfort of your own home
Dr Andersen is happy to visit you in your own home for a 40 minute appointment. This is similar to what a GP home visit used to be, and seeing you in your natural habitat ensures that she can carry out a medical consultation, examine if appropriate and make a fuller and more accurate assessment of any health issues that you have.
Or a consultation and then therapeutic massage
Doctors have used therapeutic massage for thousands of years - up until the 20th century. This option would give you a holistic medical home visit, involving a 40 minute consultation and a physical examination if appropriate. Design the massage that your body needs - including any 4 out of these options; back, neck, arms, legs, face, scalp and feet.
The ethos behind Futurehealth Brighton
At the heart of this practice is a commitment to providing evidence-based health information and services that empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health.
