Skype webcam consultations
If you have access to a reasonably fast internet connection, your consultations can take place without you even leaving your own home or workplace, via Skype. Skype is an easy-to-use service that uses your dial-up or broadband connection to make free calls over the internet, as long as the person you are calling also has Skype downloaded onto their computer.
If you invest in a webcam, you can make video calls, too, meaning that you will be able to see and speak to your Phoenix homeopath from home or work, wherever you are in the world.
This popular service is ideal for those who prefer exclusively online contact, or for those who can’t travel to our clinic on the South East coast of England.
